Here's the result of 4 years of relentless work on a hardware product. It's been an incredibly gruelling but rewarding journey bringing this from a prototype to an efficiently manufacturable product!<p>We really focused on building a fully-integrated platform from the ground up for today's environment. We intentionally left the metaphor of the "keyboard" and "mixer" behind, but were very inspired by the feel and expressiveness of acoustic instruments.<p>One of the big problems we tried to solve is that many audience members do not understand the cause-and-effect an electronic performer has with their music. (You often hear people say "They're just pushing play"). The hardware can be used in a multitude of ways, but the main position faces the audience and allows them to understand what is happening on stage.<p>On the business side of things, we theorize that a unique, audience facing shape will increase the "k-factor", or virality of the instrument. And we hypothesize that many electronic instruments have failed to reach ubiquity as they are often hidden on a desk with little for the audience to see.<p>Happy to take any questions or feedback!
