Smart MIDI Music Controller

Created on 31 Oct 2018

An all-in-one music creation device for real-time performances

A lot of music making depends on the hardware, so we want to make that process smarter. We want to build a standalone MIDI-compatible device for making music, rather than a simple button-mashing instrument that most MIDI instruments are. The device will allow for on-board sampling of audio for creating music in real-time from real-world sounds and instruments. This will make the music industry more creative.
