Lumatone: the coolest isomorphic MIDI keyboard we’ve ever seen

-

We’ve seen isomorphic keyboards before, but we doubt that there’s ever been one that looks quite as nice as Lumatone. This marries ancient music theory concepts with some state-of-the-art design.

Designed for microtonal composers and isomorphic keyboard enthusiast­s in general – and, yes, they do exist – Lumatone offers 275 velocity-sensitive diagonal keys, each of which can have its MIDI note and

LED colour programmed individual­ly. These gradually rise to make them more playable. There are ten onboard preset buttons, and the unit has a premium anodised aluminium case.

And that’s about it as far as the design goes, but the Lumatone could open up a whole world of potential. Its isomorphic layout can be mapped to any tuning and you can connect it to anything you like.

Coming to Indiegogo soon.
