Ground Central #
Ground Central is the core of the Constellation ecosystem. It connects to Satellites and handles all signal processing. It features a 2.8″ full-color TFT display with an intuitive, feature-rich UI for fast and easy configuration. Two durable footswitches allow for hands-free operation, making it pedalboard-ready.
The back panel includes a swappable expansion card, allowing for future upgrades without replacing the entire unit. The initial Audio Card offers:
- USB-C port for power, remote control, and firmware updates
- +9–12V DC input (2.1mm center-negative barrel connector)
- ⅛” / 3.5mm stereo headphone output
- MIDI DIN-5 output
- Combo XLR/TRS input with digitally adjustable gain (-12 to +40 dB) and +48V phantom power
- Left/right balanced TRS outputs
Ground Central processes both instrument and vocal signals and features motion-controlled audio effects, delivering an immersive experience for both performers and audiences.
It can also send MIDI messages to control external devices such as synthesizers, DAWs, and outboard gear.
Satellite #
Satellites are motion-sensitive wearables designed to capture precise movements from various parts of the body—arms, ankles, hips, or head—for expressive performance.
Each Satellite includes:
- An IMU sensor (3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer)
- MEMS microphone
- RGB LED
- Linear motor for haptic feedback
Satellites connect wirelessly to Ground Central via a custom RF protocol—no Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi®—for zero-latency communication. Each Ground Central supports up to four Satellites simultaneously.
Satellites are powered by rechargeable Li-ion batteries and charge via USB-C.
