Visit Booth #1314 to Experience the Future of Guitar Performance and Tone Creation with Prototype DIMENSION TRIPPER and TONEBOOK
Austin, TX, February 27, 2025—Casio America invites South by Southwest (SXSW) 2025 attendees to visit the company’s Booth, #1314, during the Expo, which will be held March 7-15 in Austin, Texas. There, attendees will experience two groundbreaking Casio technologies that redefine guitar performance and tone customization, prototypes for DIMENSION TRIPPER and TONEBOOK.
DIMENSION TRIPPER is an innovative, strap-mounted controller that allows guitarists to manipulate their effects pedals through natural body movements. As recently highlighted by Engadget, this cutting-edge device transforms a performer’s physical energy into real-time sound modulation, giving musicians unprecedented control over their pedal effects without disrupting their natural playing flow.
TONEBOOK is an advanced iOS app tailored for guitarists and producers looking to recreate the tones of their favorite artists. By searching for a specific musician within the app, users can access a detailed “sound recipe”—a breakdown of the artist’s gear, including guitars, pedals, amplifiers, and microphones employed to achieve their signature tone. The app also enables users to identify specific settings, such as the positions of bass, treble, distortion, and reverb knobs on effect pedals and amplifiers, which are crucial for producing particular guitar sounds. TONEBOOK also allows users to preview these tones directly in the app and purchase content that aids them in replicating the sound in their own performances.
Casio is actively exploring new functionalities for TONEBOOK to enhance its utility for musicians further. Future developments may allow users to capture their performances in detail, enabling them to revisit and refine their creative ideas later. Additionally, Casio is considering collaborative features that would enable musicians to share their recorded performances with others, fostering an interactive community where players can exchange feedback, gain inspiration, and expand their musical expression.
Together, DIMENSION TRIPPER and TONEBOOK create a powerful ecosystem for musicians, providing unmatched creative freedom. With contributions from professional artists, users can easily access and integrate legendary tones into their own playing.
“Casio has a legacy of redefining music performance through cutting-edge technology, and we are offering SXSW attendees an exclusive first look at a new era of creative expression for guitarists,” said Stephen Schmidt, Vice President of Casio’s Electronic Musical Instruments Division. “With DIMENSION TRIPPER’s intuitive motion control and TONEBOOK’s ability to unlock legendary sounds, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for modern guitarists.”
Guided by the Casio Purpose — “Through the power to put wonder at hand, bring new levels of joy to lives one by one” — Casio is committed to helping to build a society conducive to the enrichment of people’s minds and lives. The ongoing development of TONEBOOK and DIMENSION TRIPPER will focus on providing unprecedented new value to users who enjoy playing musical instruments and facilitating expanded forms of musical enjoyment.
