Firmware update 1.0.1 is now available 🌱

Below is a quick and easy step by step guide of how to update your Pocket Scíon. A video guide is also available by clicking the link in our Instruomodular bio.

1 - Download the latest firmware from instruomodular.com/firmware

2 - Connect one end of a compatible USB cable to your computer (Don’t connect the Pocket Scíon yet)

3 - Press and hold the button on the inside of the Pocket Scíon (see video for exact location)

4 - While still holding the button, connect the USB cable to the Pocket Scíon The Pocket Scíon will now appear as a mass storage device on your computer named “RPI-RP2”

5 - Drag the downloaded uf2 firmware file to “RPI-RP2”

6 - Do not disconnect

7 - Wait for 3ish minutes until the Pocket Scíon reboots (Perhaps have a cup of tea)

Hoorah! You are up to date.

Comment ‘connect’ for more info 🌱🍄🎶 The Pocket Scíon is back in stock! Our first run sold out almost immediately, this next batch is here just in time for the holidays. Pocket-sized and affordable, this instrument converts small changes in electrical activity into sound. Plug into your favorite plants and mushrooms and play music using the 4 onboard instruments or connect via MIDI / USB to your computer, modular, or other synthesizers for endless possibilities.

The Pocket Scíon is an active project - you’ll find new beta firmware on our discord and an active community of users exploring art and science.

We can’t wait to see what you create!

A collaboration between Scottish Instruō Specialist Synthesizers and Canadian musician and biologist Modern Biology

Lilacs in Berlin 💜🎶 I’m just home from our European tour and still recovering from the outrageous garden that Berlin is in the spring - lilacs, horse chestnut trees, rhodos and wisteria EVERYWHERE!

Here using the @pocketscion onboard sounds combined with the @moogsynthesizers animoog - all recorded in a @zoomsoundlab - super fun and portable biosonification setup ✨

Plants may be “talking” in ways we can’t hear… until technology turns their hidden signals into music. 🌿🎶

Every leaf is alive with tiny electrical changes, reacting to light, touch, water, and stress.

Would hearing a plant’s signals make you feel more connected to it? Save this for your next nature walk.

Este es un primer un primer unboxing de un sueño que tenía hace mucho tiempo.
Quienes ya me conocen, saben que mi cariño hacia la plantas es muchísimo y que mi lugar seguro son las plantas. Siempre tuve el sueño de poder escuchar qué es lo que intentan decirnos estos lindos seres vivos.
Y hoy por fin me llegó el •Pocket Scion de @instruomodular Un aparatito hermoso que se conecta a las plantas u hongos y transmiten impulsos eléctricos muy pequeños en notas musicales reales!

Hice esta nueva cuenta para compartirles este nuevo proyecto mío y cosas más personales. Me encanta la naturaleza, los animales, la comida, y la música, así que será un surtido, de todo un poco.
La verdad no sé a donde me lleve esto, pero me encantaría y me haría muy feliz que me acompañen a conectar literalmente con la naturaleza. 💚

Cuiden las plantas 🌱

I had the immense luck of having my booth at NAMM this year next-door to the @modernbiology101 booth for the @pocketscion. We were both really busy, but we found chances to chat and also to check out each other's products. Tarun is just the nicest guy you could hope to meet!

I immediately loved the Pocket Scion. The built-in sounds are really beautiful, but of course I immediately wanted to plug it into Anukari as a MIDI controller. After NAMM, I bought one, and it pairs wonderfully with Anukari. To me it's an arpeggiator where I'm not completely in control, allowing interesting and unexpected things to happen.

If people like this idea, I might set up a 24x7 live stream where the Pocket Scion controls Anukari, which is hooked up to a plant in my house. Let me know!

This isn't a sponsored post or anything, I just really like what Tarun is doing and had a lot of fun experimenting with plant music. :)

What will you plug into next? 🌱

Mushroom Music created by @modernbiology101 at @arcadiaearth in Toronto powered by the Pocket Scíon🍄‍🟫🎵

Surging hyphal networks from @spununderground
A mandala of the 5 divisions of fungi from @caro.arevalo

And you get to create the soundtrack!

Touch the pads and you complete the circuit. Your bioelectricity meets the living mushroom’s bioelectric signals, and the Pocket Scíon reads that connection in real time, translating it into notes and rhythms unique to you.

No two people sound the same.
No two moments sound the same.

This is biosonification. Living organisms, speaking in frequency. And you’re part of the conversation.

The whole installation runs on the Pocket Scíon, also modded to trigger the lighting as well. We’re so excited by the endless capabilities of this magical little device.

If you’re in Toronto, come feel it for yourself before May 24.

To us, every day is Earth Day 🌎

The universe is vast. And yet, some of the most profound signals are happening right here, in the bioelectric hum of the living world around us.

Pausing to tune in is an act of curiosity.
Of connection.
Of presence.

The Pocket Scíon lets you deepen your relationship with the organisms that share our world, from microscopic soil life to ancient old-growth trees, and everything in between.

What will you plug into next? 🌱

One of the most beautiful parts of this project is getting to see how YOU use your device.

We’ve been getting content from all over the world, from a boat in the middle of the water in Chiang Mai, to a farm in India and the forests of Brazil.

We love seeing the weird, wild and wonderful ways you use your Pocket Scíon.

Be sure to tag us so we can see the magic you create.

P.s. we’ve extended our group experiment until Saturday. Head to the link in our bio to learn more and participate!

All you need is a device, a pothos plant, a laptop that can run on battery, wifi, curiosity and 20 minutes of your time 🌱💫

Happy Earth Day 🌎

Here we are getting involved in the @modernbiology101 pocket scíon citizen science experiment!

We had a lot of fun.

this device converts the bioelectrical feedback of plants into music?? 🧠🤯
