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.

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.

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.

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 :)
