Muro Box is a magical music box that lets you play your own melodies over MIDI.
You can use their dedicated app, your own keyboards, a DAW, or even Bluetooth BLE to send MIDI messages that will pluck the music box’s tines to play your song.
From their site:
“Muro Box gives you the freedom of composing your own melodies and allows you to play a lifetime of memories in one mechanical music box. Muro Box has flexible pins on the cylinder to pluck the comb according to your programmed music. There is no capacity limitation on how many melodies you can upload to your music cloud library. Now, you can create as many playlists as you want to play your favorite melodies for different occasions.
There is no limitation on how many minutes that you can listen to music. But for better machine life and to maintain, it is recommended that you not to use it over 1 hour at a time. When the device is too warm, please turn it off for more than 15 minutes before using it again. Also by default, the maximum duration/length per song is set up at 30 minutes long to prevent your cell phone overload. Our product uses WIFI instead of bluetooth for connecting app and Muro Box, so you can use our app as a remote controller to play the meaningful music for your family even when you are not at home. What’s more, you can enjoy the whole song performed by a music box without keep turning the switch button.”
The current version is limited to notes in the C Major scale. Luckily for us, many of our tracks can be transposed to to work. Using the tombola arp on the OP-1 to trigger the boxes tines really makes a sound like the old Lullatone album “Little songs About Raindrops” The Muro Box isn’t super cheap, but it is well made. And since it was developed over years by a husband and wife team I was happy to order one. After doing Lullatone for so long with Yoshimi, I’m a real sucker for married couple duos : )
MIDI controllable music boxes might be a niche market, but I am definitely their target demographic!
