The SOMA Laboratory PIPE is a voice, breath & mouth-controlled dynamic FX processor and synthesizer.
The PIPE is designed to offer an unprecedented level of vocal processing, and to turn your voice into a powerful synthesizer.
The PIPE consists of the handheld part and small commutation box with L R output jacks (6.3 mm) and DC IN. The handheld part and commutation box connected by a single cable which contains output channels and DC power.
The handheld part consists of the contact vocal mic connected by a usual 6.3mm TRS jack and the box with electronic part and controls. You can easily connect the mic via a cable extension that allows to attach it to a stand or put inside or on a surface of any acoustic instruments like drums, guitar, trumpet etc. Also, you can use the mic in jack as external in and process by the PIPE any signals you want.

SOMA expects the first batch of PIPE instruments to be available by early spring, priced at 400-450 euros. See the SOMA site for details.
Excellent – original – unique! Just pre-ordered!
And this promotion video performance! unbelievable …
LoL….really?….no, no no…for reals?
synth bong say no more
Pretty cool. I’m interested, but my wife says I make sounds like that on the toilet, so it’s making me think about the expense. Still want it though.
I agree with Red. This thing is great. That demo vid is fantastic! Not my cup of tea, but a wonderful cup of tea, nonetheless. Sounds like they did their proper development with the effects.
It looks pretty comfortable to hold & sing into.
I’m wondering, can the mic also be a regular mic with unprocessed vocals? Would be cool if it had a mix knob, to allow straight vocals along with the synth effects processed sounds.
Sounds like my theremin could use this, too bad I would need an extra set of hands to fully utilize its features.
Pre-ordered.
