We are excited to introduce zefiro, a smart reed and groundbreaking musical companion for your smartphone or tablet. 

Building on the success of our re.corder, zefiro is designed to make wind instrument playing accessible, portable, and dynamic

With just a plug into a USB-C port, your device transforms into a fully functional musical instrument. 

At ARTinoise, our mission is to merge the timeless joy of music with the convenience of modern technology. We believe that music-making should be accessible to everyone, regardless of skill level or background. 

Our aim with zefiro is to empower everyone – from beginners to professionals – to experience the thrill of creating music, anywhere. 

Whether you’re exploring the sounds of traditional flutes, strings, or entirely new fantasy sounds, Zefiro makes it easy to play, record, and share your music – all from the palm of your hand. 

This campaign is a key part of our journey to make music a universal language, and your support will help us bring zefiro to musicians worldwide.

Perfect for music enthusiasts of all ages, zefiro combines smart sensors, an intuitive app, and the creativity of virtual instruments to deliver an unparalleled musical experience.

Zefiro brings the world of music closer to everyone, combining the feel of traditional wind instruments with the versatility of modern tech. 

Designed for portability and ease of use, zefiro transforms any smartphone or tablet into a musical instrument, offering an accessible way to create, learn, and perform music.

These are the main benefits:

Zefiro is designed for anyone who wants to explore music, regardless of experience.

It’s perfect for:

Whether you’re a first-time player or a seasoned musician, zefiro adapts to your needs and enhances your musical journey.

The zefiro App is the control center for your musical experience. From this intuitive app, you can:

• Choose Instruments: Access a library with sounds ranging from classic flutes and strings to unique fantasy tones.
• Customize Controls: Modify screen responsiveness and finger placements for a personalized play style.

• Add Background Tracks: Choose from a variety of backing tracks to enrich your solo performance.
• Record and Share: Save your creations and share them instantly with friends, connecting your music to the world.

The app is designed to be as dynamic and versatile as zefiro itself, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable user experience.

Zefiro is designed for seamless integration with both the zefiro app and the broader MIDI ecosystem, making it highly versatile for all musicians. Through the zefiro app, users can easily access an extensive library of virtual instruments, customize their playing settings, and explore a variety of backing tracks. 

The app also allows users to record and share their creations with ease. Beyond the app, Zefiro’s compatibility with the MIDI standard opens up endless possibilities for use with other MIDI-compatible software and digital audio workstations (DAWs). 

This means zefiro can be used to control virtual instruments, trigger samples, and integrate smoothly into a professional or home studio setup.

The primary difference between the zefiro and zefiro Pro models lies in the 3D MEMS Accelerometer included in the Pro version. 

This accelerometer enhances the instrument’s sensitivity to movement, allowing for more expressive control over dynamics and modulation based on how the instrument moves. This added feature provides the zefiro Pro with additional depth and versatility for more nuanced musical performances, making it ideal for musicians looking for an extra layer of expression and control.

Zefiro is perfect for those who primarily want to enjoy it with the zefiro App, which accesses a wide library of virtual instruments and customizable settings for easy music-making on their devices. For those seeking to push boundaries, the zefiro Pro offers advanced features ideal for experimenting with new expression paradigms. 

It integrates seamlessly with other MIDI instruments and can even function as a standalone instrument, making it a versatile choice for musicians eager to explore dynamic control and enhanced expressiveness.

Explore the cutting-edge technology that powers zefiro. From advanced sensors that capture breath control and lip pressure to its seamless USB-C connectivity, zefiro is built with precision to deliver a responsive and intuitive playing experience.
