Design firm Pilotfish is showing the Ondo, a dedicated music editing concept phone made from flexible material that uses gestures to control the music.
The target user for "Ondo" is the music enthusiast who seeks to interactively capture and edit sounds. Going beyond software-based solutions of other products, it is specifically designed to effectively collect pure sounds and is specially constructed to create a tactile sound editing experience.
Made from form-sensitive flexible materials, "Ondo" allows the user to modify recorded sounds by physically twisting and bending the device. Like a guitarist pulling on a whammy bar, users can feel and hear the musical effects as they create them.
Another innovative feature of "Ondo" are the three removable display "sticks". Intheir normal state, the "sticks" act as a unified touch display for the mobile device. When removed, each can be separately clipped onto a musical instrumentor person to capture live sound. Like a portable recording studio, "Ondo" makes mixing tracks easy, because each "stick" picks up isolated sounds from eachindividual instrument. The recordings can be immediately sent via MMS
In party mode, "Ondo" works as a digital mixer enabling the user to createseamless transitions between songs. This is made easy with interactive touch functions combined with integrated software support. A promotional video follows.
