Instruōducing the Pocket SCÍON https://pocketscion.com/ The Pocket SCÍON is a portable device that captures biofeedback data sourced from contact with living organisms. This data is used by the onboard sound engine to generate evolving soundscapes and a range of MIDI messages. The data is also accessible as OSC messages which are broadcast from the accompanying desktop application. Anyone can create, shape, and enjoy music with Pocket SCÍON regardless of existing musical experience. Despite its stand-alone, plug-and-play interface, experienced or adventurous users can use the MIDI and OSC output capabilities to integrate Pocket SCÍON and biofeedback into their studios, installations, and audio- visual projects. 00:00 Instruōduction 02:11 What's in the box? 03:43 Getting Started: 04:16 Getting Started: Audio Out 04:33 Getting Started: Sensor Input 04:44 Getting Started: Touch Electrode 05:44 Getting Started: Connect with Nature 06:41 Getting Started: Factory Reset command 07:13 The Instruments: 07:21 The Instruments: Secret Garden 08:00 Instrument Selection 08:14 The Instruments: Fungal Waves 09:02 The Instruments: Treebeard's Koto 09:46 The Instruments: Soil Circuits 10:35 CONTROLS 10:45 Volume Control 10:53 Sensitivity Control (Coarse) 11:14 Hardware ports 11:31 Sensitivity Control (Fine) 12:23 Instrument Selection 12:32 ADVANCED CONTROLS 12:43 Shift Controls 12:54 Voice Count 14:33 Transposition 15:30 Interlude with DivKid How the SCÍON works: 16:15 The common misconception (Plant sounds?) 16:46 Listening to the analogue sensor 17:13 How the sensor works 18:30 What the algorithm interprets 19:00 Raw sensor signal from the Pocket SCÍON (secret feature) 19:26 Pocket SCÍON listening to the sensor 19:54 Back to the Instruments 20:24 Square wave control (SCÍON sensor override) 21:12 Square wave control – Pocket SCÍON 21:31 Pulse frequency fluctuation control 22:06 Complex generative feedback control patch theory 23:02 Pocket SCÍON controller app 23:38 INSTRUMENT SETTINGS 24:16 Programming Scales 24:50 RATCHETING 25:44 Instrument Voice Weighting 27:30 VOICE SETTINGS 27:41 MIDI 28:21 USB MIDI Device 28:53 Single Channel MIDI Example: 30:09 Voice Parameters 30:57 Octave Offset 31:55 Multi Channel MIDI Example: 32:06 Single/Multi Channel mode – Hardware Select 32:47 Multi Channel MIDI in Ableton Live 33:07 External MIDI Instrument control with parallel Pocket SCÍON Instruments 33:35 Polyphonic MIDI orchestration example – Ableton Live: 34:34 Voice range distribution 39:55 External polyphonic MIDI Instrument control with parallel Pocket SCÍON Instruments 40:31 Instruments defining tonality for External MIDI Instrument control 42:12 OSC
