Product Description
Midisticks represent a completely new take on the Electronic Percussion Instrument. They are capable of rapidly identifying several materials (e.g. wood, card, ceramic, rubber, note-pad, etc.), and generating an assignable sound or effect (MIDI message) dependant on the type of material and the force in which is is struck. For example, tapping Midisticks on a mouse mat could generate a snare drum sound, tapping a pad of paper plays a tom-tom sound, a coaster a cymbal sound.
