How much can you tell us about how Mune integrates digital and acoustic music? Is the Mune programmable in any capacity or can it be customized to produce diff

  The "acoustic soul" part has fed into many areas of the design. We were really interested in what made certain acoustic instruments so universally loved and ubiquitous. One of the things we have paid a lot of attention to is the expressiveness of all the controls. You can manipulate many parameters in a fine-tuned way at the same time. We were also interested in the idea of musicians having an "emotional relationship" with their instruments. That's not something you typically see in digital gear. So we wanted the aesthetic and experience of holding it to be more intimate. And lastly, as I said in the first comment: we really wanted a musicians cause-and-effect to be obvious to their audience. We have an app platform called Symphony which runs on your computer. Munes also come with a license for Cycling74's fun visual programming environment which will let people create their own "apps" with little audio programming experience. These apps can easily be uploaded and shared. In addition the onboard embedded software is open-source, so hackers can have a field day with it!
