This strange gadget transforms your cell phone into a musical instrument. It can even record what you play
Thanks to the development followed by Android device manufacturers, mobile phones have become very capable. However, these advantages can be increased by using complementary devices that can provide a lot of value to smartphones.
There are many instances where a smartphone can be enhanced with other accessories. This is the case with many medical devices that allow you to turn your mobile phone into a device to take an ECG or monitor your health in general.
However, this is not the only area where these accessories can be of great use. They can also be used to create and record music, and that is exactly what this little device from Zefiro offers. It is a device that fits in the palm of your hand and also has its own app so that it can be used in the easiest way possible.
This little device has the same shape as a USB flash drive, but it has a USB Type-C output so it can be plugged into your phone's charging port. It's available on Indiegogo for €32, with an expected shipping date of April this year.
To use this device, you will need to download an application that contains many libraries of sounds and instruments that will allow the user to create their own creations. There are also many accessories that are compatible with this device, such as a holder that attaches it to your head so that you can blow into it without having to hold it.
It has a small hole in the body of the instrument itself that you can blow through, which makes the app on your phone able to detect the sensitivity of the blow you have made. It offers the user a wide range of classical and modern instruments, so there are a good number of options to explore.
The notes will appear on the screen so the user can tap on them when they want to play them. The mobile app itself has a recording function, and you can also activate different tracks to record two instruments of the same song separately.
