Sensors and dance

Note that all Eowave sensors are ready to use, include filtering or amplifying circuitry (when needed) and are calibrated for maximum bandwidth. They are delivered with a 2 meters-long cable with a jack TRS connector (Eobody1, 2 & 3 compatible) or a 3 pin connector (Eobody2 HF or OEM board compatible). No soldering is required. All Eowave sensors are made on demand. If you have special request, please, contact eowave.

Trigger sound, video, lights...
On/Off sensors are used to trigger events. They emit only 2 values (0 and 127 in MIDI).

Modulate parameters
Continuous sensors emit continuous values (0 to 127 in MIDI) and enable to trigger and modulate parameters
