Making Music Accessible
How to play Omniphone?
Omniphone is a very low threshold instrument. Thanks to its touch sensing technology, the simple proximity of a hand starts to trigger sound. It is very easy to get started with Omniphone but it also offers challenges to master. Check the instruction manual in Instructions to get started!


The texture and engraving on the instrument encourage to play with touch. Light signals and vibration feedback add even more dimensions to the experience.


One advantage of using recycled plastic is to obtain a sturdy and hygienic material. Omniphone is easy to clean and disinfect but also light and transportable.

Materials and Sustainability
3D printing recycled plastics
Omniphone was developed with sustainability in mind. The first prototypes were 3D printed out of recycled PETG filament. There are many other possibilities such as bio plastics, CNC wood, and so on. Stay tuned for our open source 3D files in DIY Documenttation to try your own ideas.
