ATV - aFrame Electrorganic

The diamond-shaped frame drum is equipped with high-performance built-in piezo-microphones, pressure sensors, and a strong DSP circuit. Sounds produced by the player’s bare hands are picked up, processed and output by the DSP based on ATV’s proprietary Adaptive Timbre Technology, an innovative technology that produces diverse tones by modifying the harmonic makeup of the signal input. This allows for compatibility with various playing techniques not supported by conventional electronic percussion instruments, which simply trigger PCM sound sources. Players can use traditional playing techniques such as striking, pressing, friction, and snapping the playing surface for expressive playing and phrasing. Of course there is no latency because the aFrame is not a mere combination of sound sources and pads. A player can freely play electronic sounds as if they’re playing an acoustic instrument.
