Tech Review – KIKR S1 (2-in-1 Phone/Tablet stand with Dual 10W Wireless Chargers) #KIKR #Tech

Wireless charging is something everyone should adopt it is more convenient and for two other reasons, it saves you on cables and saves your port as these are always things to go bust and meaning you have to spend on more later on. This new product though solves both and can charge two devices at once and it is also compact and does not take up much room either and ideal for your bedside locker or just to have it beside you in your office set-up.

It has a foldable One-Piece Integrated Design compact and portable, you can put S1 in your pocket and take it anywhere so it is not confined to use at home either and it is a great solution and saves you carrying cables too and loosing them as often the case we tend to forget our chargers on trips etc..

Another great feature here it is not a fixed product, most wireless chargers are fixed this can be adjusted to suit an angle you prefer this applies to the phone part not the base which can be used to charge your phone too and earbuds etc so there is some flexibility here and I like how you can angle the unit and height. This is a well built product with a good design and a must have for those whom have adopted wireless charging.On a side note this can also be a very useful product for media consumption too and is handy again for your bedside locker or to have sat beside your PC at home or in the office and gives you the option to have social media,emails etc on the screen at hand saving you tabs on your PC and so on. Check out the video below for the full tour and review.

Everyone can play music thanks to the JOUE PLAY INSTRUMENT.. #Music #Tech #JouePlay

Joué Music Instruments, an innovative French-based music company plans to launch its next-generation instrument called Joué Play on popular crowdfunding site Kickstarter starting today. Joué aims to democratize music creation via engaging music instruments and a user-friendly app. 

Designed by Pascal Joguet, co-creator of the multi-touch Lemur controller made popular by artists such as Daft Punk and Nine Inch Nails, the Joué Play is a series of modular instruments that can turn even an amateur music lover into a creative musician. Three years ago, Joué launched its first MIDI controller aimed at seasoned musicians now used by many artists throughout the world today. 

The second generation Joué Play is specifically designed for amateur musicians looking for an easy, fun way to create meaningful music without complexity. Joué Play then introduces budding artists to a whole new way to share and co-create music with others. Crafted in France from sustainable materials Joué Play was designed by experienced musicians to please both touch and ear. 

“We wanted to eliminate the frustration of all people who do not play an instrument because of the complexity of the art. We are therefore delighted to offer simple and fun Joué instruments to a new generation of musicians. “says Joué founder and CEO Pascal Joguet. “At the crossroads of electronic machines and traditional instruments, we have created new types of instruments which encompass the power & ease of the digital world coupled with the expressivity and beauty of the traditional one.” 

Made of natural Beech wood, the Play board supports swappable silicone pads that resemble piano keys, guitar neck, synth keyboard or drum pads in addition to being easy to use: simply plug Joué Play into your tablet or smartphone, launch the app, and start making music. Joué Play’s colourful pads reminiscent of your favourite instruments make the experience fun regardless of music skill level. 

 

Perfect for parents who want their kids to get into music in a simple, fun way. Aspiring musicians alike can make a beat, add a deep pad sound, then switch to a distorted guitar solo in a snap and share it online via the dedicated app which allows you to play, record and make loops on the fly. 

Joué players can then share their music online and even collaborate with others. Easy to carry in a backpack, Joué Play allows creators to make music, jam with friends, practice on the road, or just have fun anywhere. 

Joué Play has won a 2020 CES Innovation Award and was named by TIME MAGAZINE, WIRED and Techcrunch as one of the best new products of CES 2020. 

Music lovers will have a chance to reserve their Joué Play via a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign that opens to backers starting now, and runs until June 8th, 2020. Backers will have a chance to purchase the entire bundle which includes the Joué board and four instrument pads (drums, piano, guitar, and synthesizer) for a low $289. 

GOBAG 2 – The ultimate carry-on backpack. #tech #bags #travel #kickstarter @wearegobag

GoBag 2 is the ultimate bag for regular travellers who want to fit in as much as they can whilst only having to take a carry-on bag. With modular Velcro system and a built-in vacuum compression bag, it squeezes every bit of air out of soft gear such as clothing and towels to make more room for everything else whilst keeping important travel items such as your phone and passport close at hand. It has features galore and is incredibly durable, waterproof and certainly built to last. We have featured several bags here over the last two years and its nice to check out what is new to market especially when you have a bag full of goodies like we do this is something for you tech travellers can look into right now.

 

Following the successful launch of the original GoBag in 2015 on crowd-funding platform Kickstarter, with almost 2,500 backers from all over the world, the team are back with the new and improved GoBag 2 launching on Kickstarter today (7th November 2017) After struggling to find a suitable bag to take as a carry-on on cheap flights across Europe, the GoBag was conceived.

 

The GoBag 2’s design is an incredible fusion of travel bag design and dry-bag technology. The sturdy bag has a modular system powered by Velcro that allows the bag to be customised for each trip’s needs, and the built-in vacuum compression bag squeezes every bit of air out of soft gear such as clothing and towels to make more room for everything else.

The fully removable Max Pack dry bag stored within GoBag 2 is a welded bag made from TPU coated nylon which can be compressed by hand (or with a vacuum using the check valve if serious space-saving is needed) to free up oh-so precious interior space. Its carry-on size means no waiting around to check in your luggage, no delays at the luggage carousel, no lost baggage and no exorbitant checked baggage fees. To top it all off, it is built to last with everything housed within a weather-resistant coated nylon fabric that can take a beating and keep coming back for more. So whether you are traveling on business, for a family holiday or an adventure of a lifetime, you can carry less, but experience much more – #PackSmallThinkBig.

 

Hypalon is placed over areas of maximum wear like the base, offering the ultimate in abrasion protection and GoBag is constructed from TPU Coated Ballistic Nylon, a waterproof material used to make inflatable power boats. The Full Edge Zip, which runs along the outer edge of the front and side panels, is a 2.5 metre long, durable YKK zip and the pull strings from high tensile strength para cord – no flimsy plastic zips here!

With six different ways to open your bag, items are easily accessible so no need to dig around at the bottom again. There is even a new secret pocket at the side of the GoBag 2 which is perfect for storing passports, tickets or any other valuables. In addition, it features an integrated wash bag, no more wasting time at airport security as liquids and pastes are easily to hand and stored together. The wash bag can be easily removed from its Velcro attachment allowing travellers to move speedily through the airport and the 15 inch laptop pocket has a quick release pull so your laptop is easily accessible whenever you need it.

For the first 100 backers, the GoBag2 is just for just £115 ($150), a huge 37% off the RRP of £180 ($238). See more here  – https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1116395139/gobag-the-ultimate-carry-on-backpack?ref=329388&token=310ff42d

New Generation Musical Instrument – Oval hits #KickStarter by @Tiwaash #Music #StartUp #MusicalInstrument

Technology is evolving at the fastest rate ever since humanity was introduced to it helping us do our work with ease and in a more sophisticated manner and today we are here with something very innovative, thanks to the innovations in technology we have Oval. Sound confused? Read on…

ABOUT OVAL:
OVAL is a new generation electronic musical instrument which allows you to play, learn and perform music with any sound into it.
The Oval is both an electronic musical instrument and an open-hardware music controller linked to a smartphone, tablet or computer. It allows you to change and create sounds and is also a tool for playing and learning music, sharing your compositions and performing live.

DO YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT?
Inspired by the HandPans family of acoustic instruments, the Oval provides total freedom to create sounds and it’s a tool geared towards music learning and performing.
There are more ways of enjoying music besides listening. You are never too old or too young to experience the awesome feeling of playing an instrument and creating music. We believe that learning music should be fun and that you can play an instrument right away. The Oval speeds up your music learning curve, leveraging the power of technology, gaming and sharing with others.


Ovalsound was founded in 2014 by Ravid Goldschmidt and Alex Posada in Barcelona (Spain), to provide everyone with the opportunity to find a way to express themselves musically, pushing the boundaries of traditional music to new ways of interaction.
Most traditional instruments are linear, think of a guitar, a flute or a violin. The handpan is meant to be performed in circles. The interface doesn’t have a beginning or an end, so you can join musical notes together in a fluid way. The notes have a radial position and are equidistant from the Ding, the central note that sets the tone of the scale. No matter how you play, you are able to perform beautiful melodies every time.


The Oval takes the design, ergonomics and musical qualities of the handpans as an inspiration to create an electronic instrument that can be as simple for a beginner to start exploring music as a means of expression, and as complex as a professional musician wants to make it, as it allows to change sounds and scales, layer samples, real time looping and go wherever the imagination takes you.

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • The Oval is ergonomically designed and can be played in many ways. Highly sensitive, intuitive, easy , durable and (children-proof) resistant!
  • The external case is made of Solid Surface composed by natural materials –minerals like bauxite, marble and quartz–, natural resins and acrylic.
  • Carefully designed, the Oval is light, portable, durable, minimal, simple and energetically self-sufficient.
  • Easy as a backpack, you can get an additional case beautifully made of wood to take it comfortably anywhere you want and never leaving your Oval at home.
  • Designed, engineered and made with care in Barcelona.

WITH OVAL : PLAY, LEARN, SHARE, CREATE: IT IS ALL IN YOUR HANDS

Grab your Oval right now from Kickstarter capaign I’m pretty much exited about this wonderful project, so all the musicians out there check this awesome gadget.

Stay tuned for more tech buzz.

About Cloop

Cloop was built to help keep busy people organized and keep cables and cords, such as, headphones and smartphone chargers, neat and tangle free. Messy cables have a knack for wrapping themselves into endless knots and taking up far too much space in drawers, and storage spaces. In fact the natural state of cables is “tangled”. In the past, many solutions have responded to this problem with simple or impractical solutions. But, with today’s new tech and the brainpower of creative engineers, your best solution to tangled cables and cords has arrived. Cloop™ is patent pending.

Why Cloop?

  • Makes Traveling Easier
  • Organize Your Living Area

  • Prevent Entanglement
  • Utilize More Drawer Space
  • Exercise Without Headphone Malfunctions

  • Tidy Up Family Charging Stations
  • Prevent Cable Breakage

Specifications:

Cloop is available in two sizes called the Small Cloop & Large Cloop, with lengths of 54.33 mm and 74 mm respectively while the Width and thickness of  12.2 mm & 5.7 mm respectively.

Cloops are available in White, Red and Black colors.

Cloop is made from an elastic silicone material that provides it with the flexibility to fit around Small to Large sized cables, using our two different band sizes. Cloop has a neodymium magnet located at both ends, which makes Cloop easy to snap shut and easy to open.

Limited Edition Cloop Base:

The Cloop base increases workflow by keeping your cables within reach. The base can be attached to almost any flat surface such as a desk, wall or sidetable.
