AC Sabre MIDI Instrument

AC Sabre is a revolutionary wireless MIDI instrument and motion controller for electronic music producers, composers, performers and DJs which brings the dynamic richness and performance energy of traditional instruments to your digital music library, in a way that is not possible with the existing studio and stage tools.

"...mind-blowing videos...AC Sabre enables a sound engine to go well beyond the boundaries of typical keyboards and even more expensive MPE controllers....The future is here" – DJ Mag

AC Sabre reads your movements with the built in gyroscope and accelerometer and translates them into musical actions. It lets you pluck invisible strings in the air while controlling up to 7 additional parameters, intuitively with your movements, via MIDI CC messages.

“I had to check AC Sabre out and it immediately lived up to the hype...surreal and instinctive…” –Discchord

PLEASE NOTE: AC Sabre contains no sounds of its own. You'll need a computer with MIDI compatible music software (Ableton, Logic, Cubase, FLStudio, Reason, Garage Band, Massive, Kontakt, Sylenth...), or other apps which support MIDI input (Animoog, Nave).
