Playtronica Biotron: Give Nature a Voice

The Playtronica Biotron is a fascinating MIDI controller that blurs the lines between biology and technology. Utilizing sensitive electrodes, the Biotron measures subtle fluctuations in the electrical resistance of plants or human skin. This bio-feedback is instantly translated into MIDI notes and modulation data. Whether you want to generate a generative ambient soundscape using your houseplants or explore the connection between humans and nature in an art installation, the Biotron opens a new world of organic sound design and sonic discovery.
