Playtronica Introduces Biotron MIDI Controller For Plants
Playtronica has introduced Biotron, a musical instrument that they say “transforms plants into sound”.
You connect Biotron to a computer, tablet, or smartphone, and then attach electrodes to a plant. As you interact with the plant, the Biotron will translate the plant’s electrical activity into MIDI signals.
