I worked full-time during a whole year studying and designing a MIDI software that increased the current controllers’ capacities.
Over the past few years many MIDI controllers’ improvements appeared, but at that time there wasn’t any fully introduced, apart from the classic keyboards with high number of buttons, knobs and sliders. But we can just control two separate parameters simultaneously on these controllers and this is a big limitation. Even though we can assign more parameters, they depend on the same button and they are not independent from each other, what poses an issue considering we just have two hands.

At that time new tactile MIDI controllers appeared on the market, designed to control more than two independent parameters, but they still lacked something in my opinion.

I then focused on what I personally lacked when making music. I designed some surveys and interviewed people from different music sectors and finally came up with the idea of the smart ring.

When I had already finished the first prototype, I found a similar idea getting developed in the market, although mine still offered more functions and better expression possibilities.

I also emphasized on the movement sensibility, what created much more natural results than the rest of the MIDI software.
