ONDO Music Editing Phone

ONDO Music Editing Phone
"Ondo enables a more flexible and physical experience with mobile phones

Pilotfish, a progressive industrial design and product development studio based in Munich, Amsterdam and Taipei introduced Ondo, a dedicated music editing phone concept. The Ondo concept enables OEMs to visualize a new form of user interaction for mobile phones.

User
The target user for “Ondo” is the music enthusiast who seeks to interactively capture and edit sounds. Going beyond software-based solutions of other products, it is specifically designed to effectively collect pure sounds and is specially constructed to create a tactile sound editing experience.

Jamming
An innovative feature of “Ondo” is the three removable display ”sticks”. In their normal state, the “sticks” act as a unified touch display for the mobile device. When removed, each can be separately clipped onto a musical instrument or person to capture live sound. Like a portable recording studio, “Ondo” makes mixing tracks easy, because each “stick” picks up isolated sounds from each individual instrument. The recordings can be immediately sent via MMS (Multimedia Messaging) around the globe allowing musicians at different geographical locations to jam together.

Music Editing
Made from form-sensitive flexible materials, the “Ondo” allows the user to modify recorded sounds by physically twisting and bending the device. Like a guitarist pulling on a whammy bar, the user can feel and hear the musical effects as they create them.


Mixing
In party mode, “Ondo” works as a digital mixer enabling the user to create seamless transitions between songs. This is made easy with interactive touch functions combined with integrated software support."

Yamaha YC 25-D

via Rumski forum. via fischek.

via Harmony Central user reviews:
"It's a loaded duo-manual combo organ, with 16,8,4,1,2,2-2\3,1-3\5, trombone, kinura (?),trumpet, and string for the top keys. 16,8,4,2-2\3 on the bottom. It's got a 19 not bass section,which can be turned on or off. This has 8, 16, and "bass guitar" which is suprisingly ahead of its time. (Think 1980 synth) There is also percussion, and vibrato, as well as optional bass pedals. The weirder features are the very unmusical "Attack Glide" stop which bends the note up to the desired pitch. Next to this a "Touch Mute" stop is located, which just changes the tone, and drops the volume a bit. I find the action noticably bad. There's no sensation of "click" when the key is pressed. It feels like playing on rubber pads. This is quite irritating."
