Poet Pilot

The Poet Pilot is the latest Archil Lab instrument : touch pads and knobs control 8 different motors to create electromechanical music.
This instrument is a modern tool to interact with your environment in a fun way. It makes it easy to play music with all sorts of objects, acting as a bridge between sound art and music production.
The Poet Pilot will be by your side in the studio, on stage … or in your kitchen ! It can also be a great buddy for art installations and other visual applications.

HOW IT WORKS

The Poet Pilot is a full-blown instrument you can play standalone. Through its MIDI in and out connections you can also play it with a laptop or other MIDI instruments, or record a beat from its tactile pads and potentiometers and replay it through MIDI for instance…
Its functioning is very simple and intuitive. Touching a pad triggers the corresponding motor. When a pad is touched for over 2 seconds, the motor latches on until stopped by touching it again (useful to free your hands!). Knobs control the intensity / speed of each motor.
