By the look, It vaguely reminds me of a button accordion. The MPE thing is cool, however my concern is about getting good at playing with this (good as in "building muscle memory", being fast and precise, being able to play something more complex than a simple chord). I fear that, by changing scales, it's harder to build muscle memory like on a keyboard (where I know which note is under my fingers without having to look... most of the times anyway, I'm really out of practice at the moment). Also, I have no idea about the fingering (I saw at about 3'00" that you can play a triad with your finger close together, so maybe playing wide / open chords is easier than on a traditional keyboard?). I think the selling point of this controller (and other devices like this) is the fact of being forced of using a new / different approach than your usual one, you're not tricked into doing certain movements just because of your muscle memory / habits... it's like a "hard reset". Honestly... I don't know. My brain is wired on keyboards, to the point that I can't really use any other type of controller to play notes. I can barely tolerate the "keyboard mode" on the Elektron boxes (but it's just an octave... I mean, it's there for convenience) and I can't wrap my head around the "chromatic mode" of any 4x4 pad grid. That thing looks cool but I have no idea about the actual playing technique... maybe I should try it, but I'm so wired into keyboards that I know for sure I would give up after 2 minutes...
you mean that thing that costs 3x as much and doesnt even work standalone unless you buy the model with the processor which costs 6x? yeah, man, you're right. this thing makes no sense in existing. great call
No melody was demoed in making this video..
am happy to see new stuff
I wish there was a midi keyboard with MPE like the polybrute12 or osmose available.
Pretty similar to what Ableton Push can do.
Is that THREE Moog SlimPhatty's behind you?
Yep
Amazing instrument.

nice a try, but no. mine runs in circles to that.
Logic?
Nice what is this lol
Jon what do you think of Adam Port and Keinemusik?
How does it sound?
Glad to see a new video. Device look pretty good.
I thought you were quitting..
He quit trying to be a touring DJ. Gonna focus on producing
they should have called it the 'Beehive'
Looks like a mini push
I love mine, it's awesome.
Looks really cool but also a bit pricy
hmm Launchpad?
🧐Ableton Push can do all of that and more.

Does it cv out?
Yes it does :)
Your voice is different.
How?
No it's the same old Jon 🤣
