    I would try to get a a middle eastern keyboardist to do a performance. I can do one of them taking advantage of the microtonality

    So beautiful. Been longing for this for a while now, if it were more in the $2k-3k range would buy the instant it's available.

      Hi Brock - the run of 200 keyboards we're doing this year is starting in march and if you're one of the first backers, around $3k is exactly what it'll cost. That's for early backers only - pop your email into the signup page at www.lumatone.io and we'll be keeping in touch with everyone there as to how to keep track of when the campaign launches. Thanks for the kind words :)

    Someday, no matter how long it takes to save up and afford, I WILL get my hands on one of these, and I WILL upload as much music written for it as I possibly could. I hope to become the best lumatone player in the world someday. (I'm being fully serious).
    Unfortunately, it is likely that I won't save up enough in time to be one of the early backers, but me buying this instrument is a matter not of if, but of when.

      I love your determination! It might be possible to start experimenting with a computer keyboard. I don't know what software will allow it, but it should be possible. I have myself programmed a little hacky thing that allowed me to play around with isomorphic layouts and sound synthesis.

    Wow, wow! I am so excited and quite astonished, not just because of the keyboard (it looks so awesome btw!), but also how Benton plays with harmony and the odd time signature. Couldn't believe it came from your hands at first... I play/improvise the keyboard a _little_ bit in a similar way. Except for the microtonal chords (maybe the most important bit)... oh man I wish! :)

    The similarity is not obvious so I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but this reminded me of Tom Raybould's "birth", from the SF movie "the machine":

      @4apla1n Рік тому +1

      it’s microtonal music dude, there we have deal with 31 notes in octave. Yeah it’s sounds like out of tune but it’s actually in tune, firstly you must find out about microtonal music and have it sounds(not like in video)

      @@4apla1n I understand the concept of microtonal music I also understand that my ear tells me it sounds like s***. Perhaps that is the failing of my ear and perhaps that is failing to use microtones in a way that actually benefits the song at hand.. but I'm not going to lie and pretend that this sounds pleasant

    is it tuned like the Fokker Organ?

    • @lumatone
      @lumatone  3 роки тому +6

      Yes in that it's 31-ET tuning just like the Fokker Organ. Lumatone lets you tune it any way you like - this Lumatone mapping that Benton is playing is modelled after Bosanquet which shares similarities with the Fokker Organ but I believe is slightly different. In any case, Lumatone can be mapped however you like!
