H-Pi Instruments begins shipping TPX/2/4/s Tonal Plexus microtonal
keyboard synthesizers.

Tonal Plexus keyboards are now shipping in two and four octave
versions, with and without a built-in General MIDI synthesizer
option. Tonal Plexus keyboards feature 211 keys per octave, 32 user
programmable tuning tables, and a default master tuning based on the
limits of human pitch perception. The synthesizer option includes a
powerful 22 watt stereo amplifier with speakers, and hardware control
of synthesis waveform envelope attack, decay and release, as well as
a 3-band equalizer, panning, volume, modulation, and key velocity.
These smaller keyboards also feature octave transposing buttons,
allowing realtime full navigation of 8 octaves of each tuning table
with sustain pedal support. DIP switch settings allow for a global
pitch-bend mode in which the modulation control affects the global
pitch in the same way as a standard pitch bend control, allowing
global control of gliding pitches. A velocity bandwidth feature
allows the non-velocity sensing keys to produce natural sounding
output by varying the key velocity with a choice of three bandwidths
as specified by the user. Fully compatible with GM equipment, each
Tonal Plexus keyboard can be used to control external synthesizers,
for full pitch control of favorite synth sounds on existing gear.

Thanks, Bryan ; ) The Tonal Plexus has been almost
10 years in development, and you're right I've put
my heart and soul into it, and I will continue to do so,
as I build each one of them.

Yours,
Aaron Hunt
