Introducing move.ment - Soft Synth From Kia the Car Company


Introducing move.ment | The story behind the instrument | Kia video upload by Kia Worldwide

World's first synth released by a car company?

"Movement in nature has always inspired Kia.

Scientific research shows that the sounds of movement found in nature produce a sound frequency that can help trigger inspiration. In collaboration with synth builder, Arthur Joly [Reco-Synth], we captured the natural sounds of movement all over the world and turned them into an instrument called move.ment.

Now, we bring you the story of move.ment and the inspiring journey that led to its creation.

    1. Not the same really. Yamaha has been making synths for the sake of it since the beginning. KIA has nothing to do with synths.

    3. Still interesting and a valid point on your end. It just depends on how you look at it.
