About 10 years ago I visited him in his studio where he had all mocked up in paper and cardboard, putting all the pieces together. Fun to see it finally out and in people's hands.
- Taikonerd 3y agoIsomorphic keyboards are so cool! I hope the Lumitone comes down in price and becomes more of a "regular instrument"... AFAIK it's just as suited for regular tonal music as microtonal.
- otikik 3y ago/Lumitone/Lumatone/ It is a very fun-looking instrument. Isomorphic keyboards are an internet black hole to me. What kind of velocity-sensitive input sensors do these things use? Definitely not regular computer keyboard ones.
- kian 3y agoI've been dying to get my hands on one of these :) I think there's a pretty large and unexplored possibility space in using these MPE controllers for controlling things other music, as well...
