Sensor DJ is a light sensitive musical instrument that requires no hand contact to play. With a wide array of synthesized samples for the performer to choose from, you can layer and mix a unique soundtrack using the four light sensors on the top of the box to control the on/off, looping, amplitude and volume of each track. This fun and interactive instrument allows artists to ‘groove’ with the music and influence the sound with more natural movements than traditional controls would allow.
