Redison announces Senstroke app 2.0 #Redison #Apps #Music

Redison, the French startup company that specialises in connected music, announces its latest app update – Senstroke 2.0. Available on iOS and Android the app works with the Senstroke music sensors to provide extra features to drummers who want to play anywhere, on anything.

Senstroke are the first Bluetooth enabled sensors for percussionists that allow drummers to reproduce the movements and impacts of authentic drumsticks as well as the footwork of a real drum kit. The Senstroke sensors allow amateur and professional drummer to practice their scales anywhere.

The latest app now includes a new play feature ideal for beginners – the learning mode. This mode allows users to have an in-app lessons as they play with a drum track that scrolls across the screen to aid learning. Users can practice being in sync with the drums and are then given a score at the end of the performance. Drummers can keep returning to the tracks to improve their skills.

Ready, get set, play

The Senstroke 2.0 application features an improved playing system allowing users to set up and be drumming quicker than before. Drummers can choose between a pre-configured drum layout to get going straight away or customise the kit to suit their needs.

In addition to this the app allows users to change the drum kit: simple snare drum, basic or complete kit, it’s now easy to create a drum kit that suits you and change it as needed.

A new pairing screen

When you connect a Senstroke sensor to the application in version 2.0, the pairing of the sensor has been improved to provide a more ergonomic set up.

A new setting screen now allows users to change the sensitivity of the sensors according to individual playing style.

Redison, the French startup company that specialises in connected music, today announces the launch of Senstroke. Senstroke are the first Bluetooth enabled sensors for percussionists that allow drummers to reproduce the movements and impacts of authentic drumsticks as well as the footwork of a real drum kit.

This unique innovation with patented technology has been designed for both amateur and professional drummers who want to practice their scales anywhere without bothering those around them with loud noise.

Getting a drum kit set up has never been easier- users simply download the iOS & Android app, connect the Bluetooth enabled sensors to the drumsticks and define the playing zone to their preferences.

The technology built into Senstroke means drums can now be played on any surface: from digital practice pads to real drums, from cushions, books or tables, to outdoor furniture – the possibilities are endless. Once the zone of playing is defined each touch is transformed into a MIDI note and real drums’ sounds are created instantly through the smartphone or tablet and any computer-based music software.

The Senstroke app comes packed with features such as ability to record drumming fragments and export and share on social media. Drummers can record their session wherever they want, directly on their smartphone in just a few seconds and use it later in a professional setting. The app update due in March will also help learners with its interactive lessons function – ideal for children and beginners alike.

Senstroke can manage a whole variety of rebound levels in a realistic manner. Everything has been designed in order to achieve the highest level of the real drumming sensation. What’s more, those who are using Senstroke’s digital practice pads have the additional benefit of a superior quality of rebound and a significant noise reduction.

To achieve this, the user needs only their favourite MIDI compatible software and to record all of their drumming sessions. Furthermore, by adjusting the sensors on an acoustic drum kit, users can record without requiring any additional equipment.

The precise rebound handling allows Senstroke to be used in a realistic and a professional way. It is also possible to record any drumming on an actual electric or acoustic drum set.

Besides reproducing the sound of the drums, each user can use a metronome and personalise their drum kit and the sounds used.

Jérôme Dron, Founder, Redison said: “For many drummers the barriers of cost, space and noise made the instrument a no go, but with Senstroke users all over the world can experience the joy of drumming – no matter where they are! We already have 3,000 users and are looking forward to welcoming plenty more from the UK. ”
