Link: Pocket Scion is a synth you play with plants

Modern Biology, an artist known for using mushrooms to control synths, has popularized biofeedback in music through viral TikTok videos.

The Pocket Scion by Instruo, born from a collaboration with Modern Biology, converts biofeedback into MIDI data, making it accessible and affordable.

It allows users to generate soundscapes using built-in sound engines by capturing small electrical changes from living organisms.

Beyond MIDI, the device integrates with a companion app available for multiple platforms, enhancing its functionality for creating custom synth patches and integrating with various audio and visual programs.

The Pocket Scion, priced at $149, offers advanced features unexpected in such an economical, compact device.

After quickly selling out, the next batch of Pocket Scions is set for release soon, with preorders available at retailer Control Voltage.
