WARBL Forum

Good questions-- there are just over 2000 of the original WARBL in the wild, so I'd say your chances of running into another one are pretty small. I believe most users a tin whistle or uilleann pipes players, so those are the realms where you're most likely to find another user. I don't have anyone ...

Okay, thanks for the question. I don't have time to make a video at the moment but I do definitely intend to make one about the IMU and hopefully breath mapping as well (the breath mapping is the same as on the original WARBL, although we are able to read the sensor at higher resolution now, so the ...

I added a new forum for WARBL2-specific questions (at the bottom of the forum list). I expect there will be questions, particularly about BLE and using the IMU.

Just to make sure I understand, are you referring to settings for fingering (as per your subject line) or breath, or both? I have some experience with whistle but not pipes so I'm probably not the best person to compare/contrast. In terms of whistle, I think breath will be much easier than a bag for...

That's very interesting about the hearing aids-- I'd heard of the new low-latency hearings aids and headphones but haven't had any direct experience with them.

This was definitely one of the options I considered but I decided that it would have to cost as much as the WARBL itself and would use a lot more power because of the USB requirement. So, it's unlikely that I'll do something like that. My apologies!

Yes, the existing iOS app works with the WARBL2. If you open it now without having your original WARBL connected, you should see the new controls for the WARBL2-- they are just hidden if you have an original WARBL connected. Does that answer your question? Regarding the fingerings, the new version h...

Fixed it, thanks!

I am happy to announce the WARBL2, which has many new features and improvements while maintaining the original form factor (it is just 5 mm longer). Improvements include: BLE (wireless) MIDI, an inertial measurement unit (IMU: accelerometer and gyroscope), USB-C, an integrated bell sensor, an RGB LE...

Pleasure! Sorry you weren't able to get the pitchbend data you were hoping for. In my experience sensing fingers 1 cm away is already pushing the sensors to the limit, as they're really designed for presence/absence sensing in the range of a few mm.
