Soundbrenner, the Berlin and Hong Kong-based music technology startup introduces Core 2, their new wearable device designed to transform how musicians practice. With a brand-new tracking app and exclusive operating system, the device offers a range of tools, including a microphone tuner app, music playback controls, and habit-building features. Core 2 brings a novel focus on quantified self and practice efficacy, ensuring all musicians, from novices to professionals, can optimize their practice sessions.
The Core 2’s tracking app is its standout feature, promoting effective practice routines. It enables musicians to track practice time, establish goals, and monitor progress through insightful graphs. Encouraging continuous practice streaks and providing reminders, this application is set to become an invaluable ally for serious musicians dedicated to improving their craft.
Equipped with the exclusive Core 2 operating system, this wearable has highly requested features. Music playback controls are now accessible directly from the watch’s face, enabling users to adjust the volume, select songs, and manage playback without reaching for their smartphones. A new microphone tuner app expands the device’s tuning compatibility, allowing more musicians to stay pitch-perfect during their practice or performances.
Complementing these new additions, the Core 2 carries forward the beloved features of its predecessor, including a vibrating metronome, a dB meter with an alarm, and support for smartphone notifications. A contact tuning feature can be unlocked to cater to musicians in noisy environments by purchasing a magnetic tuning accessory. This sophisticated wearable device is available in two stylish finishes: ivory white polycarbonate with a silicone strap, and carbon grey steel with a premium leather strap. Available for pre-order on Kickstarter, this advanced music tool is set to become a game-changer in the music industry.
