Soundbrenner Launches DAW Tools!
We are excited to announce that our Soundbrenner DAW Tools is now available for Mac OS X! You can now sync your Soundbrenner Pulse to your favorite DAWs such as Ableton Live, Avid Pro Tools or Logic Pro X using DAW Tools. It appears as a MIDI port in your DAW where it wirelessly synchronizes the BPM, bars and beats directly to your Soundbrenner Pulse, keeping the vibrations in sync with the audio source.
You can use your Soundbrenner Pulse as a MIDI controller: controlling the tempo, start or stop any track, or even control the wetness of an effect with just a few simple taps or twists. Bring our haptic technology into your music studio and play with greater rhythmic precision.
Download DAW Tools Now!
Ableton Link now available in The Metronome!
The Metronome by Soundbrenner is now fully integrated with Ableton Link in our latest update! You can connect The Metronome and the Soundbrenner Pulse to any other Ableton Link enabled iOS apps, allowing for quick phase and tempo synchronization with Ableton Live. Integrate the Soundbrenner Pulse into your digital audio workflow and make Soundbrenner a more integral part of your creative workflow.
Update to The Metronome 1.2.0
Projects We Love
Dualo du-touch is the Instrument for All!
Our friends at Dualo have started an awesome crowdfunding project on Kickstarter. They have created a smaller, more powerful and more affordable version of the du-touch: the du-touch S. The du-touch S is a mix between a traditional instrument and a launchpad, also a controller, a synthesizer and a multitrack looper/sequencer. It allows you to build your own songs without a computer. It’s built upon a new keyboard that is very intuitive and innovative. Its interface is made for both exigent musicians and beginners with no musical background. Thanks to its small size and weight, powered by a 8-hour battery, you can compose wherever and whenever you want.
Check out du-touch S
Thank You from the Soundbrenner Team
It’s been a fascinating journey and your love and support has pushed us to be better and more efficient to bring you the best vibrating metronome. We hope that you enjoy the Soundbrenner Pulse and The Metronome and thank you for all your support. We value your experiences and suggestions so feel free to email us at [email protected].
This is our last indiegogo update. We want you to come along with us on our journey so follow our future newsletters, updates and promotions!

Hi everyone,
over 1000 Soundbrenner Pulse have already found way into their new home and many are still in transit. The tracking provided has only a few checkpoints, usually when leaving and entering countries, so don’t worry if the tracking didn’t update in a couple of days. Everything goes according to plan and you will receive your order shortly!
A few things:
We have a community of several hundred musicians on Facebook in our internal Soundbrenner Worldwide Facebook group. It’s a place to discuss all things Soundbrenner, get support, share ideas, get exclusive previews on new features and much more. You’re invited to join us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/soundbrennerworldwide/
We keep receiving videos from customers of the Soundbrenner Pulse unboxing experience, the device in action with students, on stage and various other places. Keep sharing using the hashtag #FutureOfRhythm - these videos are fuel for our late work nights in the office ;)
If you need any support make sure to check our FAQ https://soundbrenner.zendesk.com/hc or reach out to [email protected] - our team works very hard to solve every problem and respond in less than 24 hours.
The Soundbrenner Pulse is shipping but today is still just the beginning. Next we want to start working with dealer and distributors to get the Soundbrenner Pulse in the hands of even more musicians. Meanwhile we will keep working hard on improvements and new features for the firmware and mobile app. The launch of our Mac app “Soundbrenner DAW Tools” is actually just days away too and will be free for all existing customers. We will also launch a new website and a new video in the next weeks.
Thanks for your continued support and being part of this epic journey.
PS: DID WE MENTION WE WON THE BEST IN SHOW AWARD AT NAMM???!!! How amazing. It was nice meeting so many of our backers in person in California. You rock!!
From Hong Kong,
Florian

Soundbrenner Pulse are shipping!
We have great news. All necessary certifications have been granted. The first production batch was assembled successfully. Our quality control found no signifcant issues. As a result we now have several thousand units in stock in the warehouse of our logistics partner. They are working at 100% capacity and are shipping roughly 300-400 orders every day. Within the next 14 days all pre-orders will have been shipped. Hooray! We can't wait to see your pictures show up on social media with the hashtag #FutureOfRhythm and see people using the thing we've worked so hard on.
Some Key Info:
- We are shipping chronologically, meaning the first pre-order customers from April will receive their orders first.
- When your order ships you will receive a shipping notification as well as a tracking link.
- We are shipping Soundbrenner Pulse to customers from 65 different countries in total. Depending on your country of residence it is possible that you will have to pay duty at the customs. There is unfortunately nothing we can do to fully prevent this since it depends on the local laws in your country. We are working with our logistics partner to reduce the chance of this as much as possible. The majority of our customers are from the U.S. and in most cases from the U.S. no additional duty will be necessary.
- If you already have our smartphone app please make sure to download the latest update before using the Soundbrenner Pulse. Once you connect the Soundbrenner Pulse install the latest firmware update on the device via the app for optimal performance.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support at [email protected]. In the coming weeks and months we will release multiple free software updates that will polish the experience of using the Soundbrenner Pulse further and add new features. We're listening, so if you want to contribute to our app with feedback & good ideas, please reach out to us as well!

Soundbrenner Shipping Update And 2015 In Review
Happy New Year everyone! We are pleased to announce that we successfully overcame the last hurdles to produce the Soundbrenner Pulse, and we are now in the final steps of manufacturing: SMT to populate our circuit boards and final assembly of the device!
In this photo (below) are the unpopulated circuit boards of the Soundbrenner Pulse.
In this video (below),the circuit boards are populated with components using a method called surface-mount technology (SMT):
After this step, the electronics will be assembled into the injection molded parts by hand. This is the final process in finishing the product. Afterwards, all units will be shipped to our logistics partner, and then shipped directly to you! We will start shipping the first units in early January and you can expect to receive yours at one point in January.
This will be the biggest milestone for Soundbrenner yet. We're days away from beginning to fulfill orders and we can't wait to send you your product, and reward you for your early trust in Soundbrenner.
If you have any questions about your order, feel free to e-mail us at [email protected]. You can also email us for operational questions and help setting up your Soundbrenner Pulse when it arrives. We're always here to help!
2015 Has Been Amazing!
Exactly 12 months ago, we had just completed the concept of the Soundbrenner Pulse on paper. Within just one year, we went from drawing board to mass production. Thanks to your support we were able to make this fast progress in the first place. We want to use this opportunity to express our gratitude. We consider every Indiegogo backer, every early customer, and every fan to be a contributor to bring the Soundbrenner Pulse to life.
Thank you for helping to make it happen, and thank you for being awesome! We can't wait where 2016 will take us and hope you'll stay with us on this journey. It's going to be one hell of a ride! From Berlin, Hong Kong and Los Angeles, The Soundbrenner Team.

The launch of the app is the first milestone towards delivering the Soundbrenner Pulse. We will follow up with pictures from manufacturing in the coming days.
Here’s a portion of our official press release:
Los Angeles — December 15, 2015 — Available today, The Metronome by Soundbrenner is a powerful companion for all musicians, regardless of instrument choice or skill level. The Metronome by Soundbrenner was built ready to use for daily practice, live performances or in the recording studio.
It all starts with a beautiful, intuitive user interface available in dark and light colors. The interface was designed to be user friendly, with a large central dial to change BPM and a large tap and play button. Furthermore, it offers controls to customize the time signature, choose a subdivision and add accents.
“We think it’s important to listen. During the interface design process,s we talked to many musicians to learn about their requirements. Through our hardware crowdfunding campaign we already had an audience of over 2,000 musicians and their input helped a lot to create something that is simple and powerful at the same time,” says Simon Apostolski, the Art Director of Soundbrenner.
“Rhythm is the lifeblood of music and a universal challenge for every musician on this planet. We think such an important problem deserves a good solution. That’s why we invested so much energy in creating what we think is the new best metronome app,” says Pau Senabre, the leading iOS engineer behind The Metronome by Soundbrenner.
