IK Multimedia's IP-IRING-WHI-IN iRing Music Controller is a finger-worn device designed for aspiring, or real, music DJs who want to control their iOS music applications with hand gestures to control and customize sound effects and other music parameters involved in existing, or created, music. The music controller utilizes two contoured plastic rings, which are placed between your fingers on each hand, with different black dot configurations on each ring. The three black dot configurations on the rings help your iRing-enabled device's front facing camera distinguish between each hand for accurate motion tracking on an XYZ-Axis, or 3D plane, to customize and create music from the two free music apps: iRing Music Maker and iRing FX/Controller.
The two free music applications are useful for converting your music controlling hand gestures into musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) data that can be passed onto other Core MIDI compatible apps. The iRing Music Maker is a simple tune-making tool that gives you hand and touch free control to trigger beats, synthesize ("synth") parts and effects, and other rhythmic elements to create non-stop music in full compositions. The iRing FX/Controller on the other hand is a more serious music application that is a multi-effects processor providing 15 high quality creative effects which can be inserted into a signal path via Audiobus or Inter-App Audio applications.
