The Smart Contact Mic Porta Kit puts the programmable piezo preamp into a study 3d printed case and breaks out the string connectors of the diy version to minimal connectors, and makes the device battery powered via a standard 9v battery.
More demos of this soon but really this is made for bringing the scm into the world and not worrying about breaking anything. The piezo is coated in epoxy for waterproof operation and the integral magnet allows for easy connection to metal objects, perfect for field recording resonant surfaces.
The kit comes with an exciter so you can do feedback experiments or come up with be usesi hadn't thought of. Questions? Hop on the comments or send a DM.
Available now for €180 from the Soniphorm site, link in my profile or

Testing out the new Soniphorm exciters that go with the Smart Contact Mic in a straight up feedback battle. The volume is bring shaped by an envelope which is being triggered by a sequencer, and the lot is filtered through a low pass to take the screech off it a little. All happens in software on the Smart Contact Mic.
Exciter kit will be available tomorrow, get in touch if you want one

Using the Porta Sampler module (a nod to the Tascam Porta Studio that was my first multi track recorder as a teenager) in the Soniphorm Patcher with the Smart Contact Mic you can very quickly record the vibrating world around you and make beats and patterns with the Step Sequencer. Also demonstrated is using the piezo as a trigger, so tapping it can drive other processes, in this case iterating the sequencer step by step with each tap.
How would you use this? I'd love to hear your ideas! Any questions give me a shout in the comments or DMs 👍
Yes it's available to buy now from

The resonant feedback capabilities of the Soniphorm Smart Contact Mic explored in three minutes. Feedback is where the output of a system is routed to the input and where magic occurs.
There be monsters here!
Yes the Smart Contact Mic is for sale.
I've to redesign the exciters to better suit this product, and they'll be available separately or as a combined kit.
