Embodme Erae 2

CurrentReleased 2025

A 40 cm playing surface with 16,000 force sensors under a fabric skin, lit by a 42 × 24 LED grid you can lay out as keys, drum pads, faders or anything else in the Erae Lab editor. Every touch sends pressure, position and movement, so it speaks MPE and MIDI 2.0 as well as plain MIDI, and it carries an 8-track looper and 24 CV/gate outputs for modular. More instrument than controller, with a learning curve to match.
