Musix is a fully-customizable multiple-layout isomorphic musical keyboard. Each hexagon on the screen is a note, and surrounding hexagons are harmonically related. Songwriters benefit by discovering new melodies and musical relationships. Novices find it easy to learn to play. Experienced musicians are rewarded with an intuitive interface. Shiverware presents Musix: the definitive isomorphic keyboard. For beginners, for experts, for you!"

Some additional notes via Shiverware:
"Just thought I would let you know that we just released version 1.1 of Musix (the isomorphic keyboard).

The main change is that we now support the iPhone!

As well, you can now just drag the keyboard around on screen to change what range of notes are shown.

If you didn't catch some of previous releases, we also added Midi and OSC over wifi along with the ability to have the note velocity change depending where you strike a note and the ability to do vibrato by wiggling your finger within a note."

"Simmons SDS9 Drum synth died, and the SDS8 has no MIDI. This is what I did to get the sounds sequenced."

CHAMBERLIN RHYTHMATE Drum Machine

via this auction

"Approx. 15 7/8” wide x 11” deep (including knobs) x 6 3/4” tall (including steel bracket -- 5 1/8" tall without). Total weight: 15 lbs.

DESCRIPTION:
Rare, vintage drum machine.
Chamberlin Rhythmate model 20. Serial #4151. 14 tape loops, each loop with 3 different prerecorded drum tracks on it. Volume and tempo controls. Power indicator light. Single RCA jack on back. New 9 volt battery and 1 amp fuse included. (Note that this model does not have an internal speaker. Use an RCA to 1/4" plug to play through your guitar amplifier.)

Plywood cabinet finished with wood grain plastic laminate (formica). Painted aluminum face plate. There is a large steel bracket mounted on bottom bearing the Chamberlin manufacturer's plate (this bracket hugs the edge of my kitchen counter nicely, but presumably also functions as a means to hang the unit vertically, face plate up).

Circa mid 1970s (assuming the wiki article below is accurate), but the technology definitely belongs to the 1950s-60s. USA.

According to the wiki article below, fewer than 700 Chamberlins (comprising all models) were made 1951-1981, with fewer than 50 working examples accounted for today. "

Combine multiple polyphonic or monophonic synthesizers and 13 different synthesis methods to create incredible results.
All this comes with an easy-to-use interface, high-end sound quality and remarkable low CPU usage for an instrument as feature-rich as ElectraX.
The comfortable preset management provides instant access to a large library of sounds by professional designers.
