Practise quietly without changing instruments
The ClariMate allows you to practise silently while continuing to play your own clarinet. Rather than moving to a separate digital instrument, you keep the same fingering system, mouthpiece, and embouchure technique you already know. Active reeds and adjustable airflow plugs help recreate the resistance and feel of acoustic playing, making practice sessions more familiar. Connect a pair of headphones to the 3.5 mm output and hear the internal clarinet synthesiser while keeping noise to a minimum. It's particularly useful when practising at home, travelling, or playing in situations where volume needs to be controlled.
Turn your clarinet into a MIDI controller
Connect the ClariMate to a computer via USB-C and your clarinet becomes a MIDI controller for music production and performance. Compatible with popular DAWs and virtual instruments, it lets you trigger synths, sampled sounds, and software instruments using your existing clarinet technique. High-precision breath sensing captures playing dynamics, while the note recognition system translates fingerings into MIDI data. This opens up creative possibilities for composing, recording, and experimenting with sounds that go beyond a traditional clarinet setup.
Get more from the ClariMate II app
The ClariMate II app gives you access to a range of learning, setup, and performance tools. Available for iOS, Android, and Windows, it connects through Bluetooth or USB depending on your device. The note display shows played notes, standard fingerings, and notation on a musical stave, while training features help reinforce technique and accuracy. You can also adjust breath sensitivity, calibrate active reeds, edit synthesiser settings, and manage MIDI functions. Find out more information about the app here.
Flexible connectivity for everyday use
With Bluetooth, USB-C, and headphone connectivity built in, the ClariMate fits easily into a variety of practice and performance setups. Bluetooth audio streaming allows you to play along with music from a phone, tablet, or computer while hearing the internal synthesiser at the same time. USB-C handles charging, software updates, computer connections, and MIDI communication through a single port. Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery offering up to four hours of use, the compact 68.8 g design is easy to carry in the included soft case wherever you play.
