Lime Lighter is a special music notation program created by dancing dots that allows those with low or impaired vision to read music. The program allows users to change the magnification and color settings to best suite their needs. Lime Lighter is intended to be paired with a 4-switch wireless pedal board that allows the user to control scroll speed if the eye-tracking functionality of the program is not sufficient. Available for purchase are two separate bundles. The Lime Lighter Leggiero bundle comes with a 2-in-1 Windows PC with a touch screen and 3 hours of battery life as well as the 4-switch pedal board and all the required programs. The Lime Lighter Liberty bundle only comes with the 4-switch pedal board and all the required programs. Each bundle includes the option to have 5 pages of your music adapted to the Lime Lighter program and two-hour remote training for all components.
Another program by Dancing Dots called GOODFEEL translates music from any music notation software capable of exporting .XML file formats into braille. The GOODFEEL program also includes the Lime Notation and Lime Aloud software that utilizes a "talking score" which allows blind users to edit and write their music. With the help of a braille embosser, this software can be used to print music that can be analyzed and performed by those with visual impairments. Dancing Dots provides three separate braille embossers at different price points that work with all of their Lime and GOODFEEL programs and technology.
The Sound Brenner Pulse is a metronome you can wear on any part of your body that uses vibrations instead of an audible click to keep time. This piece of wearable technology can be controlled using the watch head, which spins in either direction to control the tempo, or by using the app which allows significantly more customization. The app that comes with the Pulse grants the user the ability to adjust the tempo, the sounds, the flashing LED's, and even add specific songs or click tracks to a playlist for a streamlined performance/practice. You can also link up multiple devices so that more than one person is receiving the same click from the metronome. Modern metronomes and metronome apps rely too heavily on sound to convey the beat, the Pulse would allow deaf or audibly impaired musicians to play in time with other members of the band. The Pulse comes with a short and long band for wrist, ankle, and arm fitting but the body band must be purchased separately.
