At Superbooth 17, Dadamachines introduced the Automat – a plug & play MIDI-controller and accessories kit that makes it easy to create MIDI-controlled music robots.
We talked with creator Johannes Lohbihler, who gave us an overview of Automat and a demo of how it works.
Pricing and Availability
Production of the Automat toolkit is being funded via a Kickstarter project. It’s available in several versions, ranging from the automat board for 89 euro to a kit with 6 soloids and accessories for 399 euro. The project is already fully funded.
This is not new technology. There are many suppliers out there just Google “MIDI to anything”
I refuse to google it. Can i control kitchen appliances with midi code?
C3 will be coffee machine
D3 will be heating on
Pretty easy to rig it up if you want it, although OSC might be better for home automation.
That make a cheap plug-and-play solution?
