Looping is one of the fastest and most intuitive ways of music-making. It's always been great for improv and invention, but why not try it with MIDI messages this time?The Bastl Midilooper is an experimental device that will help you do just that. It listens to control information about notes, dynamics, and other parameters, and it loops them in a way an audio looper would process pieces of audio. Since the MIDI loops remain in the control domain, many other processes can happen simultaneously on top of them - so you can explore timbre modulation, envelope adjustments, and way more.We designed the controls of the Midilooper to be easy to access so that the device comes in handy and enhances your music-making flow. Your fresh ideas are just a few button presses away: “[The Midilooper is] highly recommended if you’re trying to simplify your workflow and/or get away from menu-diving outside of the computer,” says a recent review in The Waveform Magazine, and we couldn’t agree more.Features:• 3 independent voices (each has MIDI channel assigned)• overdub/overwrite• transpose mode• octave transpose• quantize, velocity lock, shuffle, humanize• odd looplengths, time stretch• mute, clear, erase• one MIDI Input and two MIDI Outputs• clock input (accepts analog clock or TRS MIDI Clock)• analog reset input• metronome output• CV input connectivity (transpose, velocity, re-trigger)• pedal control (record, clear, voice selection)• USB powered• adjustable divider/multiplier for the analog clock• dimensions: 125mm x 80mm x 35 mm

HEX row is an analogue dual resonant filter with versatile routing capabilities, sidechain/envelope follower and mischievous character, stemming from (mis)use of transistors as variable resistors in the signal route.There are two channels, each controlled by three potentiometers: GAIN (2), RES (3), FREQ (4) and sidechained by CENTER (5). Both channels have the same topology. Inputs •| and |• are fed into each channel’s gain stage and then passed to their filters. The input signal level can be adjusted by setting the GAIN which can either attenuate or amplify a signal x20. Note that the amplification affects the filter’s behaviour—high GAIN disrupts self-oscillation, conjuring PLL-esque harmonics and other sound design artefacts. FREQ and RES are used to manipulate individual filter’s cutoff frequency and resonance. Each channel has a side-mounted switch (6) for selecting low-pass or band-pass filtering. Touch the golden touch pads (1) to manually route the flow of audio and control voltages.SIDECHAIN – Left channel’s (•I, •O) post-gain signal is filtered and fed into an envelope follower. Envelopes polarity and amplitude are adjusted by using CENTER. The adjusted envelope is then mixed in the right(|•, O•) channel’s FREQ parameter. Left half of the CENTER causes the filter to “duck” and the right half produces a gating response. In the middle position, the sidechain effect is inactive.TOPOLOGIESFEEDBACK – Connect the •O and I• sockets with a jack cable and use O• as the main output. Leave •I unconnected as it’s normalised to O• by default.Alternatively, using stereo cables and a headphone splitter adapter enables the use of •O as output with dramatic stereo field dynamics.SERIAL – Connect the audio source to I• and use the •O as output.Input signals are processed through subsequent channels as •I is normalised to O•. This mode enables the so-called twin peak and auto-filtering.PARALLEL – Connect a stereo audio source into •I or two mono sources to •I and I•.Left and right signals are split into separate channels, processed and output as stereo signal via •O or as mono on both outputs.You will need a soldering iron, solder, pliers, tweezers and some patience. Before you begin the process, make sure you are working on a clean, well-lit surface. Be careful with the components, some of them are very small—take them out of the packaging one at a time, when needed. Most of the tiny SMD components are marked with numbers that match the numbers printed on the PCB. If you are new to soldering (SMD), we recommend watching some online tutorials beforehand. For the assembly video, visit our website. In any case, take it slow, go step by step and enjoy the process of building your HEX. It’s like a puzzle that you can use and play with afterwards.

This is the new 2025 Contact Microphone version - better than ever. This is the 3,5mm (1/8") jack connector version. With a contact microphone, any surface or object becomes a canvas for sonic exploration. Unlike traditional recording methods that capture sound waves traveling through air, contact microphones pick up vibrations directly from materials — allowing you to "listen" to objects, plants, or even soil from the inside out. This unique perspective unlocks a world of intriguing and sometimes abstract sounds, making it an essential tool for experimental recording and sound design. The 2025 edition of LeafAudio’s popular contact microphone has been completely re-engineered for maximum flexibility and features full electrical shielding for optimal performance.This upgraded model comes in a set with a durable neoprene zip-bag, ensuring safe transport while providing space for all included accessories. Thanks to its universal clamp mechanism and strong rubber bands, it can be mounted on almost any surface. Additionally, the newly developed probe mechanism — created in collaboration with sound designer Robert Dudzic — lets you capture sounds even from inside objects, soil, and more, expanding the creative possibilities even further.Equipped with a high-quality 2m (6.5ft) SC-Onyx Tynee cable by Sommer Cable, the microphone is available in two versions: one with a 3.5mm (1/8") Amphenol connector and another with a 6.3mm (1/4") Hicon connector. Includes:• Contact microphone• Neoprene zip-bag• Universal holder• Probe mechanism• 2 rubber bands• Allen key

Field Amp is LeafAudio's solution for the world of body sound transmission: recording the world with contact microphones. It provides high-gain, noise-free amplification and impedance conversion to ensure the best possible sound quality from your contact mics.After releasing our Microphonic Soundbox, we quickly realized we’d hit a sweet spot. Many sound designers praised its clean, noise-free amplification - even if they didn’t need the Soundbox itself. So we listened and created a standalone solution: the Field Amp. If you want the Soundbox amp without the box, the Field Amp is your new best friend. Perfect for studio work, field recording, sound installations, and creative sound design of all kinds.Quality amplification & power management circuitry. No noise or beeping can be heard or seen in the spectrum, not even above the hearing range, which would come into focus later during sound manipulation processes. You can record with high sampling rates, transpose the audio by a lot and enjoy your pure sound. Just the clear, pristine audio you want to capture with your contact microphones.Optimised for travelling. The small unit is fully portable, light, offers many mounting possibilities. A professional case is included, which also can carry your contact mics, batteries and cables.Body sound transmission vs. airborne sound. We’re used to hearing the world the way our ears do—through air. Sound travels through the air before reaching our eardrums or a microphone. But with contact microphones, you change that perspective. Instead of hearing the surface of materials, you hear from within them. This shift opens up a powerful trick for sound design. It reveals a hidden world of textures and tones that are normally out of reach. Give it a try—there’s an entire universe of sound waiting to be discovered.Field Amp is optimised for Hi-Z signals of contact microphones. It also acts as an impedance converter with a powerful output signal. No loss of signal quality when you keep the wiring short between microphones and the input. The output is a strong signal and you don't have to worry about a few meters of cable.We recommend using the shielded contact microphones by LeafAudio. Generally you can try contact mics with our pre-amp, hydrophones, or guitar pickups. We offer separate adapters for both input and output to ensure compatibility with all your devices.Features:• Low-Noise pre-amp for contact mics, geophones etc.• Case included• 9V DC power supply or battery• USB-C to barrel connector adapter cable included• Up to ~50x adjustable gain• 1 mono input• 2 mono outputs (one -12 dB)• All connections 3.5 mm (1/8") mono jack• Input impedance: 3,3M Ohm• Output impedance: 1k Ohm• 12 x 12 x 3.4 cm• 410 g (incl. case & USB-C to barrel cable)• 1/4"-UNC mount on top and bottom for camera tripods etc.
Microphonic Playground is the newest addition in our series of sound design instruments. Like its bigger sister, the Microphonic Soundbox, it's a playground for sonic exploration of any kind. It can also be your inexpensive entry into the Soundbox world before you possibly upgrade later.It works through body sound transmission on basis of a contact microphone. In comparison to airborne sound transmission (via a microphone), all sounds created on the box can be listened to in a very intimate and direct way. Imagine it like listening to the materials from the inside, very much in an ASMR way.The difference to the Microphonic Soundbox are two things:1) It is passive, has no active amplification and needs no power supply.2) It's an open playground with no audio sources or objects built into it, so you are free to attach everything to it what you can imagine.To get you started with ideas we now offer a variety of add-ons, that can be used with both the Microphonic Soundbox and the Microphonic Playground.The unit has an audio input and an output. Its audio output can be amplified by the external input of a Microphonic Soundbox and therefore act as an extension. Or it can be amplified by any pre-amplifier, mixing desk or audio interface. Multiple Playgrounds can be cascaded in series. Play it on its own, or extend your Microphonic Soundbox with one or two Playgrounds and some of the new add-ons.You're free to use it as a platform for sonic experimentation or just convert it into a Bass Kalimba, for example, and leave it that way. Please choose your own way to play with it and let your imagination and creativity guide you.Features:• built in contact microphone• passive, no power supply needed• many mounting possibilities for add-ons through five threaded M3 strips• universal wooden object holder on the side• four M3 thumb screws included• 1 audio input, 1 audio output• multiple units can be linked• soft rubber feet• 162 mm x 147 mm x 60 mm (w/d/h)• 0,244 kg
Microphonic Soundbox mk2 is a versatile sound design instrument and features active battery powered low noise pre-amps. This is the flagship of the Microphonic Soundbox cosmos and features the most possibilities for sonic exploration on the basis of body sound transmission.Standalone it's already fun, but its whole potential is unveiled when it's being processed in realtime by live-sampling, loopers and effects. Possibilities are endless and thousands of sound designers and musicians use it in their creative work process.We recommend to additionally buy the violin bow and rosin for being able to play it properly.Soundbox History: Manuel from LeafAudio created this instrument in the late nineties and used it on lots of his Xabec albums (https://xabec.bandcamp.com), in live shows and sound design work. Before we made it public 2017, it had a 20 year long and very personal history.Features:• Two channels with internal contact microphones• Battery powered low noise pre-amps (~100x / ~40dB Gain)• Two outputs: mixed mono or channels separated• Channel one can act as pre-amp for external input• Multifunctional holder, based on M3 threaded strips (left side & under Kalimba)• Removable Kalimba• Soundbox is a hub for external contact mics: use channel 1 as pre-amp on out 1 while play the actual Soundbox on out 2• Output features an attenuator switch• Power management switches the LED from blue to red when battery goes under 7 volt• Soft grip rubber feet for acoustic decoupling• Removable metal rods which come in a plastic tube which is great for transport
