DulceLabs.com Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 This thing looks really cool! Now I can't quite tell if it has MIDI DIN or just USB, but it has Bluetooth so you could make it work if it doesn't. Anyway - thought you guys would be interested: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoken6 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Why only up to 61 keys? We get requests for 73-76 keys all the time here on KC... Cheers, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherScott Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Very cool. Yeah, 73 keys would be nice, maybe they'll add support for that, though I don't think gigging musicians is their target market. For one thing, I suspect it need to be on a table (or other kind of pretty solid stand). If it were placed on the most typical gigging stands (which support the boards from the sides), it might fall apart if you banged in the middle... Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reezekeys Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Yea everybody on the video is a DJ. No examples of an actual musician playing, and I think AS is dead-on about needing a table I can't imagine it on a typical stand. And only one pedal input, so you can't have both sustain & expression. So I'll pass but I know I'm far from the target market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miden Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Doesn't the VAXX do the same thing? There is no luck - luck is simply the confluence of circumstance and co-incidence... Time is the final arbiter for all things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Dan Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I had this idea at least a few years ago, except my design had the modules sliding together with a fairly rigid brace for live performance. I also envisioned several different left and right end cap sections to allow for typical 61/73/76/88 key layouts as well as preferred LH controls (wheels, stick, ribbon, etc). As an example, a left section with 8 keys, a right section with 8 keys, and 5 C to B sections would make a traditional 76-key. Leave the L/R sections off and you have a 61 key. You could have a left section with 3 keys and a right section with 1 to make an 88.
