This Instrument Called Minim Can Create, Record and Project Music

— August 11, 2015 — Tech
Livid's latest music instrument named 'Minim' is a handheld device that allows users to create music through internal sounds, external motion controls and external musical aids. This device is essentially an all-in-one musical instrument that is compact to boot.

The device works with a motion-controlled surface that resembles an over-sized smartphone. Instead of apps, there are large buttons on the screen that release different sounds. In addition, the sounds can be high or deep, depending on how hard the user presses each button.

The 'Minim' can be used at home or on the go thanks to its Bluetooth connectivity feature. The 3D motion-controlled pad contains touch sensitive technology that allows users to play and make music intuitively. The product's long-lasting lithium battery will provide consistent sounds from multiple instruments like guitars, drums and pianos for hours.
