ARTinoise Zefiro : JUST BREATHE MUSIC

HOW TO USE IT

It's easy! Download the zefiro App.

Open it and connect the zefiro to your smartphone USB-C port.
Now you can use the smartphone screen as an interface: Cover the holes and buttons to play notes*, like in a real instrument!

Use your breath intensity to modulate volume, vibrato, and other effects based on the instrument you selected.
You can choose from a wide (and constantly expanding!) range of instrument families, from classical to ethnic, to fantasy and fun ones.

For advanced configuration, especially to use the zefiro with third party apps and VST, you can download and install the zefiro manager web-app.

Unzip the file to a directory of your choice and double open “index.html” with a supported browser.
The app is compatible with Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Opera. Safari does not support WebMidi.

GOOD HANDLING HABITS

HANDLE WITH CARE.

01

zefiro is robustly made and the internal electronics should not break if it
accidentally falls on the ground.
The most sensible and fragile part is the USB Type-C connector; avoid twisting or lateral movements during use.
Please always make sure that the connector is not damaged before
connecting into your smartphone, as it may completely break while inserted in your device Type-C port!
Remember to use the accessories, such as the lace or the sock, to protect it!

HUMIDITY.

02

Even if the internal electronics are completely sealed from the outside world, do not use the zefiro in wet and really humid places.
Do not pour liquids on the zefiro or submerge it in water or other.
If you feel your saliva is getting into the air way, simply shake it to take out any excessive moisture that may result in bad playing responsiveness!

KEEP IT CLEAN.

03

zefiro do not require any special beauty treatment, just make sure that nothing gets in the windway or inside the USB type-C connector!

The former may cause bad responsiveness or the impossibility to play zefiro at all.
The latter may cause the zefiro to not being recognized by the device you connect the zefiro to!
