Mazetools Soniface 4.01

Mazetools provides a novel approach to music and creativity, offering a unique experience of exploring, visualizing, and manipulating sounds in an innovative manner. Through the integration of an interface that utilizes movement control via the device's camera and ML-based body recognition technology, Mazetools opens up new avenues for musical exploration and collaborative creation.

The two Mazetools currently available are Mutant and Soniface. Mutant functions akin to a loop machine but with the added capability of altering soundscapes dynamically through intuitive gestures, facilitated by the Hypercube feature. On the other hand, Soniface offers a more modular approach by allowing intricate customization of instruments such as synthesizers, samplers, and rhythm modules.
