In a matter of hours, this new musical instrument has shattered its Kickstarter goal.
The Artiphon Instrument 1 is an expressive digital music controller.
How does it work?
Adjacent the fretboard is a set of six strummable inputs for guitar-style play.
Theres also a rotary knob that lets the user scroll through sounds and control other elements of the equipment.
Its worth noting that the Artiphon Instrument 1 isnt breaking new ground, necessarily.
There are many other virtual controllers that allow for unconventional control of digital instruments.
Weve covered a few of the stand-outs in our six years in publication.
And look what our friendJeremy Elliscan dowith a Native Instruments Maschine.
Is the Artiphon Instrument 1 all that different?
What do I mean by realistic instrumental experiences?
I mean that strumming a guitar on the Artiphon has similar action to what a guitarist might experience.
The piano layout is translatable to an actual keyboard.
Drumming is expressive and intuitive.
It also makes it a brilliant creative tool.
Beginner and professional alike.
