Recommended hardware & software

For an instrument or controller to feature below, we need to have tested it and evaluated it.

Numark Orbit – A DJ Controller with wireless MIDI

Wireless MIDI with multiple buttons, accelerometers and knobs makes this handheld unit an interesting addition to a musician’s toolkit.

You’ll need to pair it with your own music software to make this into an instrument.

Korg Wavedrum Mini with clip trigger

WOW – I want one of those: Korg Wavedrum Mini

An inexpensive, easy to use percussion instrument with a clip-on trigger that turns almost any surface into a playable instrument.

This review originally appeared as part of Andrew’s presentation at Music Education Expo 2014.

The Beamz Hardware

The Beamz – Breaking laser beams

Break one of the four laser beams to trigger sounds and note sequences on the included software. Works with PC, Mac and iPad.

Switch and eye gaze control of the software is possible for those with more limited movements. Beamz controller recommended for those with good upper body control.
