Mogees Play for iOS is an ingenious smart sensor that attaches to a phone or tablet and turns the world around you into an interface for playing games, creating music and much more. When connected to an iPhone, the Mogees Play device senses vibrations in the objects it is attached to and uses them to extract information such as velocity, timbre, length and speed which it translates into sounds or actions on screen. Mogees Play comes with two fantastic apps – Pulse and Keys. We will also be giving Mogees Play owners new apps as they are released completely FREE. £58,910 raised with 1,170 backers. Mogees Play When connected to a smartphone, the Mogees Play device senses vibrations in the objects it is attached to and uses them to extract information such as velocity, timbre, lenght and speed, which it translates into sounds or actions which appear on the screen. Mogees Play apps (for IOS only) Pulse is a highly addictive rhythm action game with multiple levels which takes the player through varied genres of music, subtly teaching the basics of rhythm, timbre and velocity, from simple dance beats to more complex styles from around the world. Keys allows for simple creation of melodies, arpeggios and chords using Mogees Play attached to any chosen objects. You can easily create musical grooves and melodic sequences with a huge amount of harmonic variety through simple note and mode selection. First, you select the notes you want to play within a scale and key of your choice. Then, when you play the object, it plays one of the selected notes in a predetermined order depending on the style of the arpeggio. By hitting the object with a hard hit, a chord can be played using the chosen notes. Learning with Mogees Play Mogees Play is an educational tool too. It’s been specifically designed with core Music Key Stage skills from the UK National Curriculum in mind, including teaching about rhythm, timbre, velocity and encouraging ensemble play.

Great fun - nice piece of tech. And almost certainly educational too.
Delighted to finally get my hands on one of these. It’s a really solid, nicely-engineered piece of tech and the bundle contained everything we needed to get going. Downloading the apps via iTunes and getting started was a doddle, as was calibration. It’s not gimmicky either; we’ve certainly not tired of playing with this. Aside from the apps, which are nicely put together to enable users to explore various different tactile applications (although, the ‘Keys’ app was a little difficult) there’s still the inexplicable thrill of turning objects at hand – including children’s heads – into musical instruments. Following extensive testing, an engineered wood floor serves as a very practical sounding board, as did a honeycomb-structured internal door. Looking forward to newer apps in the future to really push the tech forward. Great fun. And almost certainly educational too.

Such a shame
Doesn't work how it says it will, the recommended app to download isn't available, the registration code doesn't work. Choice of music to play in maestro is poor, pulse is boring. Fantastic idea badly implemented. Waste of money.

Fantastic bit of kit.
Fun and easy to use with the Keys and Pulse apps. Highly recommend and my kids love it, so money well spent. :)

Fun, yet powerful
It's a tiny little thing, but the potential is massive. Stick it to a hard surface, open one of the apps, and you're in another world. I'm a musician, and bought a Play during the kickstarter. I now use it all the time, to add a strange, beautiful, melodic quality to my recorded work. My son uses it to play games - he likes Pulse - which is great, because it means he won't get his sticky fingers all over the iPad!

what do you like the most
write your comment here. what do you like the most? what do you like the least?I am very disappointed with the product! The Mogees Play works very badly. I do not know if it's because I had the misfortune to come across a faulty copy or do they all work that way? Once connected to my iPad I can hardly turn up the volume that a shrill and incessant noise is heard. I repeat I am really disappointed. I was expecting so much from this product. I do not know if anyone can help me. In any case I have not found anything on the website of MOGEES PLAY, or elsewhere, which speaks of this problem. I strongly recommend this product to anyone who expects this to happen as videos!
