    Sensor Augmented Bass Clarinet (SABRE)

    Re-engineering towards a market-ready augmented instrument

    Institut für Designforschung (IDE)

    The former SABRe research project moved towards a startup (SABRE AG), which now offers its first product: SABRE Multi-Sensos (SMS).

    The former SABRe research project moved towards a startup (SABRE AG), which now offers its first product: SABRE Multi-Sensos (SMS).

    SMS consists in tow modules: sensors captures the air pressure produced in the mouth of a wind instrument player as well as the orientation and position of the instrument itself. remote hat "only" two press buttons, but in a very compact shape, so that they can be mounted very close to an available finger in order to generate fast triggering events. Both modules communicate independent from each other to a computer over a Bluetooth interface, where they are monitored and calibrated, and can finally forward their data to any DAW or video software. The modules have been designed, on the one hand to be adapted on many musical instruments and on the other hand to get a high acceptance rate from the musicians.

    A twelve month funding by the CTI allowed the ICST research team to develop the SMS and guide it to a pilot production (20 pieces at industrial standards). From now the SABRE AG will continue the technical development and manage the production.
