Published on Mar 4, 2015 Opho Keys

"Pre-order on Indiegogo at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ke...

Keys is a keyboard designed for the novice and configurable for a pro. Learn your favorite songs in minutes through LED lit keys and create beautiful music without any previous experience. Plug into any device or computer and launch the app. It's that simple."

Some key bits captured from the Indiegogo page:

"Keys is an all-in-one keyboard designed to make life simple and mobile for the musician in everyone. Compatible with your mobile phone or computer, the possibilities are endless.

Each of the 24 keys are equipped with LED lights that can each illuminate 192 different colors. Weighted keys allow you to modify the sound output based on pressure and resistance for 'piano like' expressions.

Keys is equipped with next-generation gesture recognition technology so you can control various parameters by just waving your hand above the keyboard.

Wave your hand to the right and change the octave up.

Lower and raise your hand to change the tone.

Keys is fully USB-MIDI compliant. Use Keys with hundreds of music applications including Garageband, Ableton, ProTools, Logic and Cubase. Create music your way using your favorite tools.

You can magnetically link Keys devices together to create a larger keyboard or to other modules like Knobs and Pads to create custom music surfaces.

Keys uses AMON technology, a breakthrough magnetically actuated wireless communication technology which allows multiple Keys to magnetically connect and create real time ad-hoc networks. This means no wires and no configuration. Just snap Keys and Keys modules together to create variably sized keyboards or modular control surfaces. Then, when you're done, take it apart and fit your entire rig in your backpack.
