Customizable Elements From Action keyboards and Adjustment settings to rhythmics Objects
Grid Based Representation is becoming the new standard for expressive music controllers and is inspired by string instruments where each line is separated by a fourth. It can be tuned into any isomorphic representation to help with deeper exploration of musical harmony and improvise with new musical ideas.
This note arrangement uses geometric patterns so your finger can play chords by simply shifting or gliding the shape along the playing surface like on a bowed instrument.
The pad was designed with simplicity and minimalism in mind in order to capture the musician slightest nuance and emotions.
The low coating silicone surface is covering the entire body structure made of aluminium and allows for smooth gliding gestures. It was also built and tested to resist heavy drumstick hits and intense playing sessions for the most demanding artists.
