At the heart of Constellation’s transformative capabilities lies its constellation of features, comprising the Ground Central and one or more Satellites. Seamlessly connecting to the Ground Central, each Satellite is able to capture the minutest nuances of motion from various parts of the body, such as arms, ankles, hips, and head, enabling precise emotion capture like never before.
By harnessing the performer’s motion and translating it into a symphony of sounds and control messages, Constellation bridges the gap between artist and technology, paving the way for an entirely new musical journey.
This is the main hub of the Constellation ecosystem. In a nutshell, here’s where the Satellites are connected to and where all processing happens. It incorporates a 2.8-in full colour TFT display which hosts a feature-rich UI that allows for quick and simple configuration. The Ground Central includes two sturdy footswitches which allow it to be placed on a pedalboard and controlled by simply stomping on it.
The back panel is actually an interchangeable expansion card which can be upgraded at any point without having to buy a full new unit. Expansion cards with different input & output capabilities are currently under development and will be released soon. The Ground Central will initially ship with the Audio Card, which includes the following input & output configuration:
The hardware processes audio from instruments and vocals via a dedicated microphone input. On-board FXs are motion-controlled, providing an immersive and interactive experience for both artist and audience.
Our ultimate goal is to enhance the performer’s emotions and expressions by harnessing augmented reality technologies, while ensuring they are accessible and user-friendly for everyone.
MIDI messages can control external equipment such as synthesisers, DAWs, outboard equipment, etc.
Eventually, with the release of different expansion card flavours, Constellation will also allow controlling video and 3D mapping software, lighting equipment, etc. – And if you dare, you could even control a robotic arm!
Percussive sounds such as drums or claps can be generated right out of the box from the Ground Central – No other external equipment is required.
