Auditory | Kibo

Kibo Truly overcoming obstacles through play TFH are proud to present Kibo. So many electronic toys create annoying bleeps, while musical instruments require a trained operator. Kibo is a musical instrument designed to be played with like a toy. A true fusion of technology, musicology and fun. Kibo is light, tough and cutting edge technology from Italy. Engagingly simple, but fiendishly complex under the hood, Kibo presents 3 forms of music composition to the user through its 8 chunky wooden blocks. These lovely tactile shapes stack magnetically and snap into place on the smooth board pleasingly, and that’s when the magic begins. Tap the blocks to play 40 different instruments (just turn the knob to change) in mode one - the harder you tap, the louder they play (it’s a musical instrument). Build complex compositions by adding and removing the blocks in mode two - the lower 4 blocks build a bassline, the upper 4 build the harmony. Mode 3 is a combo mode, the top row builds up a melody, while the bottom row allows you to tap out an accompanying beat. Battery powered (~40 hours, recharges like a phone). Rechargeable non-replaceble Battery . • 30 x 23 x 2cm 6KIBO

Kibo is of course Bluetooth- driven via app on an iPad (not included). The App (kodaly) is free to download & requires no musical training. Kibo is a true MIDI controller and can therefore be integrated into other (more complex) apps like Garage Band, Beat maker and Ableton. Some of these apps are free and quite easy to get into. We hope that while Kibo is engaging and educating to play, it will also be a gateway to the truly exciting world of music technology. Play up to 7 Kibos in a group from a single iPad (update in 2021 to allow remote online groups). This multiplayer feature is so simple to set up and use, it’s “gold dust”. Kibo requires an ipad or iPhone, headphones or a powered speaker for a performance.
