Man, this is literally my dream keyboard. Since I'm a teenager I can't afford it though lol. Hopefully it'll still be around by the time I am able get a job and save up some money.

I WANT ONE SO BAD

[@grumpytime9375]

LOL @ "merged with the machine world." Guess I'll be watching the rest of this series. Thanks Dave!

[@Arbco75]

Charming overview of the ins and outs, though I can't get the picture of the hammer out of my mind.

[@hammondjones9484]

Who is this guy? Absolutely hilarious, great overview

[@dangelobenjamin]

It's got a nice smooth gradient on the keyboard. Really helps you *feeel* like Spiderman

[@katmai90210]

that global brightness feature sounds something to go on exploring.

4k for a midi controller, however interesting, is crazy no matter what you put in it...

[@matthewbertrand4139]

i guess my biggest question is, does this have to be hooked into a computer running a DAW to play? this seems amazing but i would prefer to just be able to play it outright without having to create a setup around it

[@lumatone]

You've got options in that case. Doesn't require a computer, no, but it IS a controller a heart. There are a lot of small analog/digital synth and sampler options you can use instead of a computer and just plug directly into the back of it. We wanted Lumatone to be sound agnostic -- everybody likes different sounds!

[@Craig_Hilbig]

Needs a smoke color keys option. Any chance the key caps are removable for future customization?

[@lumatone]

The key caps ARE removeable and replaceable yes. All sorts of thing in the future are possible, including tactile keys for the blind, different materials and weightings, etc.

How should I do this if I want to play it through a speaker? Do I need an audio interface? Is Focusrite Scarlett Solo (3rd Gen) USB Audio Interface with Pro Tools good? Also, can I play the microtonal scales through a speaker without a computer?

[@lumatone]

Hi Eliseo, these are all great questions, and most of the answers can be found in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnOWXnuFprarnLs A computer or an analog synth that supports microtonality is the best way to play microtonal scales without a computer.

You said "wondrous machine." Do you know Henry Purcell's song, "Wondrous Machine?" In that song he calls the pipe organ a "wondrous machine."

Sadly it doesn't have a built in speaker, or any sound output for that matter, so unfortunately it's not gonna be useful for me at this moment
