Company Information
With I-Cube add light beams, electromagnetic fields and g-force to your arsenal of expression by using the wide variety of wild and weird alternate controllers. Each controller is based on a sensor which detects a certain type of stimuli. You plug it into the I-Cube which translates that information into MIDI which controls your gear. How you map the MIDI messages, what parameters are controlled is up to you. Connect up to 32 controllers. A turn knob replaces your mouse, a light beam acts as your mod wheel, a touch triggers your samples, the temperature controls your volume.
Infusion Systems has developed a plethora of sensors to detect a wide variety of stimuli - light, heat, proximity, acceleration, electromagnetic field, pressure, tension, and breath are just a few of the possibilities that can be translated into MIDI. Up to 32 sensors can be used with each I-Cube; this means wide-open control of your system.
Contribution
On long-term loan to the HyperMedia Studio, Infusion Systems' I-Cube is a MIDI-based analog to digital converter. Usually used as a sensor interface for performance artwork, the I-Cube has provided an easy-to-use data acquisition solution for small and medium-sized projects in the HyperMedia Studio. Infusion has also generously provided a variety of different sensors, including their "Tap-tile" pressure sensor, "Bend" flex sensor, and "FarReach" ultrasonic motion detectors. These have encouraged experimentation with unconvential sensing methods beyond performer or participant position or contact.
