Everything works well. Easy setup. Highly recommended!

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

I have received the device exactly eight days after purchase within the EU (distance like from Berlin to Madrid). The device itself is simple, it's usage too. No issues with setting it up. The manual was in the package, along with electrodes. It works even with the most common Midi-USB cable for $5, also with older PCs. Fortunately, It has no Bluetooth module, which making it even way better (we all know plants getting stressful near Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/etc.)
So far, after tests and experiments, I can go ahead and create some pieces of music for my commercial projects.

Big thanks to the creator for making it simple, handy and affordable!!

Great device,

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

I love this device, i would like to buy another one just to have it in case this one breaks down.

Im using it with a Behringer crave -Roland sh-32 -Behringer td-3 to a Boss SP-505 to record the samples and make loops.

I find it sometimes hard to get in the main menu, but when i finaly get in i work pretty well with the leds as indication.

this is the most exciting device I've bought in a long time

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

This is great, works well, surprisingly easy to set up. Once you've got your head around the controls it's fairly easy to edit. It would be great if the instructions came in English (although to be fair maybe the shipper does have English instructions but saw my German address and assumed I would prefer German, which would be a totally reasonable assumption). Anyway it's been really inspiring and lots of fun to mess around with.

Great little device. A bit of shipping confusion.

For Infinite Noise TRNG True Random Number Generator

It arrived and worked. The tracking number I got was for someone else’s package, so I thought it was returned; but it arrived and it works great.

So, other than the wrong tracking number, great little device.

Product not received

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

Can you please let me know what is happening with this order?

It has been over a month since it was first processed.

Glynn | Feb. 7, 2021

Plug and play and fascinating

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

I placed the electrodes onto a healthy Aloe Vera and fed the midi to a microfreak and modal skulpt synth. I dialled in some nice sounds whilst the Aloe supplied a constant, adjustable output. Note scale and sensitivity work fine. Very pleased. I went to buy another but no shipping to UK now.
Please make the UK destination available again.

Amazing tool!

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

Very fast shipping within Germany, it arrived the next day! Got it as a present so I can't really write a detailed review but it definitely works! It's really amazing to be able to listen to the plants and it's definitely a great tool to get a bit more creative with creating music.
I added a specific shade of green (that was included in the table) in the comment section at check-out because there was no custom colour option. I just got a normal green one, which isn't really a big deal but I thought I would mention it.

interesting generative instrument

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

Works well with software synths on pc and ios, as well as hardware synths. Good build quality.
The only thing that is missing, and would be nice to have is tempo control.

Manuel | Jan. 18, 2021

Super!

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

Manuel is a cool guy. Replyme on every message becuz we have some problem with shipment, italy sucks with delivery. So then, i use it yesterday and it works properly(?!)

Sorry for my unenglish review!

SuperFun!!

Selina | Dec. 28, 2020

Very Upset

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

The product I've received was broken. I have failed to hear back on how to fix it or if i'll be receiving a replacement. Very upset I even paid extra for the shipping so for a total that almost reached 200 and for it to not even work. I feel very scammed and upset. Kind of ruined my christmas since this was supposed to be a gift

Martin | Dec. 5, 2020

Struggled at first but once a sussed it out it worked well

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

Struggled at fist because was using with op1 which is usb midi so order Kenton midi device and once I’d worked it out it works well . Wouldn’t pay more than I’did though . It’s a bargain considering planet wave version costs 3 times the price . I’d feel completely robbed if I payed that price . But satisfied with the product

Dimitris | Oct. 21, 2020

Very unique device!

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

It's really very experimental part to my music to have a device that let the plants speak!
The only thing I really want to about this to be better it was a connection for external power adapter and better case!

But by the way it's excellent gear. that really I don't test only to plants, i test this everywhere 🤓

Matej | Oct. 15, 2020

I love it!

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

Bio Sonification Device v2.1 is working wonderful! The only obstacle which I had was to find a good appropriate cable, enough long when I am outdoors, otherwise, the device was wonderful also with my studio experiments.

I wanted to try, if it works also with MIDI DIN-5 to USB 2.0./USB-C adapeter. Do anyone can share any experiences and suggestions how it was working with this kind of adapter.

Thank you,
Matej

Steven | Oct. 1, 2020

Real cool sound device

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

Really amazing device! Have it a few weeks now & have a lot of fun with it! Communication with Manuel is also really good! Thank you!

Ulrich | Sept. 23, 2020

Nice idea with room for improvement

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

I had come across the original MIDI Sprout some time ago. But it took a search on Tindie that turned up this interesting little device.
In short, yes, it does produce MIDI note ouput by measuring the electrical current between the two electrodes that are attached to plants. It can output the notes into four different scales, and that is quite limited. I wonder if it would be possible to add additional scales in some future software update.
The other upgrade that I’d wish to see on the MIDI Biodata Sonification Device would be a direct USB MIDI output. You can buy a cheap DIN to USB cable separately for sure, but a built in USB output would be very handy.

great device for creating soundscapes

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

This is a great device for anybody who wants to create soundscapes in the sense of beeing "organic" !

Dick | Sept. 1, 2020

I don't know

For Infinite Noise TRNG True Random Number Generator

I've still not managed to get it registered/verified because the website doesn't work. No one has responded to my request for help. Disappointing really. So far as I can tell it produces entropy for my system but that's not exactly glaringly obvious. Frankly I've no idea whether it works or not. I've put it to one side waiting for support help which has never come.

TRNG random number Generator

For Infinite Noise TRNG True Random Number Generator

Arrived promply and in good condition after shipping from Germany. The device is the size of a memory stick and plugs into a USB port. It arrived with a small pamphlet giving instrution. Download a driver from the Internet and you are good to go.
I haven't (yet) run any statistical tests to determine if the data are truely random, but informal inspection suggests all is good.

Almost perfect

For Some spare PCBs

Beautiful boards. One star deducted because it would appear two revisions of the board exist (minor tweaks, just a few parts added). I have no problems with this and perhaps I just missed the information but seller should indicate rev 1 boards.

Fantastic product, wonderful service, VERY fast shipping.. I just got a bit confused when the boards didn't match most of the pictures online. No harm no foul.. Just needs a tiny bit more info in post.

The tiny Gummy bears made my day... Thank you

Dualing Peace Lillies

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

Clever device. It's a lot of fun to go out in the garden with a pair of headphones and setup shop next to a pumpkin for an hour. I can't really tell what the plants respond to (other than interference from human touch), but I would compare the randomness to wind chimes, not the sound, that could be anything that you want to connect, but the gentle clamoring of notes in no particular order. I'm already interested in purchasing a second kit to try some different soundscapes and I would purchase from this seller again.

Stefan | June 25, 2019

all over good - thanks a lot !

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

Everything works fine,
good documentation,
nice customership (!)

Thank you Manuel

Great device

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

More options compared to costly alternatives, worked perfect for my project (obtaining midi data from a specific tree) - great communication + delivery - thanks again!

Giovanni | May 19, 2019

simply great

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

Biodata Sonification Device <3

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

I am very happy with the device - its working and looking great!
Manuel was very helpful with the whole procedure! thank you very much!

Super cool little device from a very responsive maker

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

This product was exactly what I was looking for, something to generate random MIDI notes under a scale with the input from natural environment. It arrived with all the items needed to start, all I needed to do was plug in my MIDI cable and attach the sensors to something and then out poured all the notes.

I had a little bit of an initial problem in that my MIDI cable was a bit wider than the hole in the 3-D printed box. Additionally I couldn't seem to set a new MIDI-channel (which defaults to 1). So I msg'ed Manuel and he said to ship it back and he would do an update. I got the box back and he had 3-D printed a new one with a wider hole as well as updated the firmware and printed a new manual with easier ability to set the MIDI-channel. Super smooth and very helpful! Now everything works beautifully.

Well worth the price and really satisfied with the purchase as well as the whole transaction. Thank you!

Simply works™

For Infinite Noise TRNG True Random Number Generator

I need entropy for my small headless servers - previously I've been using ubld.it TrueRNG, but I couldn't properly reboot my servers when I left them in the USB-port (I had to unplug them, reboot and then during/after startup I could re-insert them to have them start properly).

This is not a problem with the Infinite Noise TRNG + they provides entropy a bit faster!
Installation/compiling was pretty straightforward on Gentoo Linux.

I will certainly choose again if I decide to expand my serverrack :)

Amazing product.

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

The pads are quite sticky for most plants but the whole thing is super awesome. I hope i can get it working well. :)

Response from leetronics | March 11, 2019

Thanks for the great feedback!
The pads can be removed more easily with a bit of (soap-)water. You can also wash&reuse them quite often.

Cyril | Feb. 21, 2019

great product and great seller

Great Creative Tool

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

I Believe This Is A Better Version Of A Midi Sprout. Its Very Well Made & Easy To Use. Ive Had Alot Of Fun With It Since I Received It Two Weeks Ago. Shipping Took About Two Week From Germany To California . I Would Definitely Recommend This Device To Anyone Looking For A New Experience With Sound & Plants!

Alison | Aug. 27, 2018

Great Product

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device v2.1

I love this product, it is truly amazing to hear the plants make music. So far I have recorded a few house plants plus the Oak tree in the garden, each plant is different and the Oak tree was incredible you could tell it was a tree by the music it made, a mix of high and really deep notes. I am a beginner at this sort of thing but was able to set up the device and got it working almost straight away. To connect it to your computer you need an adapter, Manuel, the seller, was really helpful in explaining the type of adapter I needed, midi to usb, and I found a cheap one on Amazon which works just fine.

The next thing was software for my computer, again I'm not an expert on midi software, I found a very simple system called MidiEditor, free to download, which plays the music, you can choose which instrument you wish to use and you can record the sounds. The software is limited but it's great for beginners like me. I have even made a few cds for personal use by converting the midi file online to mp3 and then editing it a little in Audacity (free music editing software) adding a bit of reverb for effect etc.

I gave shipping 4 stars because the German post mis-sorted my package, it happens, but Manuel was there chasing it up, he was extremely helpful.

I would definitely buy this product again, in fact I may well do, so I can hear 2 plants at the same time.

Evan | March 1, 2018

Manuel and his MIDI device are both GREAT

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device

All around a great experience. Manuel shipped quickly, the product worked as described and came with good directions. Furthermore, Manuel was a great communicator and very helpful. I sent him a message and he responded right away with help. Recommend!!!

great guy to buy from!

For MIDI Biodata Sonification Device

Manuel was great from the beginning of the purchase to the end.
He also was generous with his time to work through the troubles of Christmas shipping challenges.
The device looks great. well made, and comes with everything he said it would.

looking forward to making music with my plants!
