The Hypercubes are a new electronic musical instrument formed by see-through cubes with electronic components inside.
Connecting the modules, you can generate, modify, and control pure electronic sounds without computers or cables. Use as many cubes as needed according to the complexity of the desired sound or vary their
placement to alter the resulting circuit.
Its hundreds of possible combinations make this instrument a powerful tool for learning and creating electronic sounds by physical means.
