Folks,

The long-awaited Indiegogo campaign is here, thanks to Bogdan,
Dylan, and the rest of the crew. It's an unprecedented chance to get
a generalized keyboard for less than many conventional keyboards.

For the same price as a Nord Electro you'll get 280 keys each with
its own Hall effect continuous position sensor. The Electro contains
an off-the-shelf Fatar keyboard... 88 keys with 2 electrical
contacts each to determine velocity.

This sort of thing doesn't come along every day!

The Microtonal community needs you behind this project! This may be the only
chance we have to start the production of a generalized, microtonal keyboard.
Quoting Kite Giedraitis [http://www.indiegogo.com/individuals/4827593]:

Looking at the non-12 layouts, if 1 step in the 4:00 direction goes up A steps
and 1 step in the 1:00 direction goes up B steps, and the octave is where it
usually is, there are 7A + 5B steps to the octave. Assuming A & B are relatively
prime. The LLsLLLs scale is the same shape in all these layouts. This means once
you get used to the layout, you can play in all these EDOs:
12, 17, 19, 22, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 37, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 45, 46, 47
(twice), 49, 50, 52, 53, 55, & 56
Wow!
