VIDEO: THE QUIUBO MUSIC-MAKING CUBE PUTS MUSIC CREATION AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
If you are not a fan of fidget spinners, then the Quiubo might be the gadget for you. It has been designed to make music creation fun, with players using its various faces to tap out rhythms, pluck virtual guitar strings or shake out a beat while tipping and twisting to add crazy effects.
Each face of the Quiubo has a different function. Up top is a part-emerged ball that users push to distort the playback while tilting the cube-music-making toy. Another side has ridges rising from the surface that can be plucked like guitar strings or stroked like a finger piano. Function buttons on one side activate different features, there's a built-in Bluetooth 3.0 speaker throwing out audio on another and a flat zone elsewhere can be used for finger tapping a beat.
The Quiubo music-box has a 1GB internal storage saving a "transition" creation before sending it over to the Android or iOS mobile app. The system allows for collaboration, "If the user has a friend with another Quiubo, they can both make a song together. This function works as a live chat, each user needs to make their part of the song and then send it, the second user receives the song and then plays with it."
The plastic music-making-box includes an integrated Li-Po battery jamming for 5 hours per 2-hour charge. The project is currently raising funds on Kickstarter, in the meantime have a listen to the Quiubo music-box makes some crazy sounds in the video below:
