Imagine capturing the clink of your coffee mug or a snippet of street noise and turning it into a full drum kit or chord progression—instantly, no cables needed. That's the magic of this palm-sized powerhouse, evolving Artiphon's handheld series with a built-in omnidirectional MEMS microphone for on-the-fly sampling.
At just 3.14 inches wide by 2 inches tall, it fits in your pocket with a rechargeable battery lasting over five hours, a 3W speaker for instant playback, and a 1/8-inch headphone jack for private sessions. Eight capacitive sense pads respond to velocity, pressure, and aftertouch, while accelerometer, gyroscope, and haptic feedback translate nine gestures—like tilt for effects, shake for percussion fills, or surface slides for volume—into expressive MPE control. Dive into 300+ presets across four parts (drums, bass, chords, lead) with a built-in looper, arpeggiator, sequencer, and effects; sample directly into modes where drums get unique hits per pad and chords auto-tune your captures. Connect via USB-C for audio/MIDI or Bluetooth LE MIDI to your DAW or the free Artiphon Connect app for mixing and expansions.
Players love how it sparks spontaneous jams, praising the intuitive gestures and sampling speed that make full tracks feel effortless, though some note the fixed speaker could use more volume for louder spaces.
