Artiphon is the company behind the Orba synth and MIDI Controller and its latest innovation arrives in the form of the Minibeats app. It is a brand-new augmented-reality app that allows users to transform their bodies using technology as well as facial expressions to match symphonic melodies.
Users are able to smile, frown, dance, and wave their arms in front of the camera and the music will be added to match the movements. The goal of the company is to make music-making something that feels accessible to everyone and the AR technology behind the app uses the Snapchat CameraKit SDK. It is generally intuitive but there are still tutorial videos to help users better navigate.
