Genki Wave is a smart ring that allows you to control sound through motion. It features three buttons, a LED display for visual feedback, a micro USB charging port, and an adjustable strap.

To use Genki Wave, connect it to your computer, tablet, or another Bluetooth MIDI host. You can also pair it with WIDI Master by CME to connect directly to your hardware that doesn't support Bluetooth MIDI. Start by downloading Genki Wave's companion software, Softwave, to explore its capabilities, and then connect Genki Wave to your DAW of choice.

Genki Wave offers six customizable functions, each of which can be assigned a unique CC number: - Tilt, Pan, and Roll: Control parameters with motion. - Vibrato: Add natural vibrato to your playing. - Tap: Trigger notes or samples by tapping. - Click: Use buttons to send MIDI or key commands. Additionally, you can assign Pitchbend, notes, key commands, and shortcuts.

The buttons on Genki Wave come with default settings, which can be customized in its configuration panel. The Middle button activates or deactivates Genki Wave, while the Up and Down buttons are used to navigate between presets.

To use Genki Wave, you'll need a computer equipped with Bluetooth 4.0. It uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which was introduced with Bluetooth 4.0. Additionally, you'll need a PC running Windows 10 or a Mac with OSX El Capitan or higher.

Yes, Genki Wave can be used as a standalone MIDI controller with your mobile device or via WIDI Master by CME. In standalone mode, Genki Wave has a single preset, but you can customize this in Softwave.

Genki Wave works with DAWs that support MIDI learn/mapping functionality. It is compatible with Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Cubase, Reason, and more.

Softwave is Genki Wave's companion software that allows full customization. It features built-in sound engines and curated presets. Keep Softwave open while using Genki Wave with your DAW. Note that Softwave is not a VST plugin and does not work on mobile devices. You can download it here.

The number of Waves you can use simultaneously depends on the device you are connecting your Waves to. The official Bluetooth specifications say seven is the maximum number of Bluetooth devices that can be connected at once. With Softwave, you can use two Genki Waves simultaneously.

A full charge takes 90 minutes and provides over 8 hours of use. A quick charge of 20 minutes gives you approximately 2 hours of use.

The latency of Genki Wave generally depends on the host system you connect it to, and is limited by the Bluetooth LE standard. When connected to macOS, Windows 10 PC, or even iOS and Android, the overall latency can be around 7-20ms. When using the WIDI Master, the latency can be around 7ms. Wave and Wavefront use a proprietary protocol instead of BLE, achieving under 1ms latency.
