If you do get this to market - consider making a version with this exact aesthetic - the white on pastel green, the no labels, the keyboard that looks like claymation. It just looks like something that wants you to play with it.

As a graphic designer: hats off to the whole art direction and visuals. Really enjoyed this.

[chili-dilli]

I clicked on this because i thought the design looked cool, just to find out it's just a prototype - still one of the best designs I've ever seen

[MayMcDonough]

The complete serenity that comes with seeing a thing with no labels.

[JackMellor]

I’d love to hear a whole ambient lo-fi electronic album made entirely with this instrument!

[dear_doob]

I am an absolutely noob on music theory so I don't understand 80% of the video, but it looks really cooler than other similar instruments. love it

[Silly_Genius]

The engineers and designers behind this masterpiece are LEGENDS.

4:37 made me tear up with Don't Go Changing. My first instrument was a Yamaha PSS170, purchased by my late grandparents, which had that as the demo song. Countless hours trying to learn Super Mario World songs at 5 years old on the warmth of their living room carpet; grandfather smoking his pipe, listening to Paul Harvey on his transistor, grandmother sipping cherry coke from a can through a striped straw & flipping through a Danielle Steel novel, their voices and living noises still faintly in my head. I've missed all of it. You just made those memories louder and clearer than they've been in a while. Thank you.

As someone studying music theory I think this will REALLY help beginners with a way to easily visualise the theory without having to have experience in piano

[mcsheesh]

Even if Nopia wouldn‘t be a stand alone instrument, it would certainly be the most straight forward and user friendly way of making digital music

[nestorbettison]

you should definitely start a kickstarter to get this funded and manufactured, seems like heaps of people would love to see this come to life and be an available product! Myself included!

[mattjackson]

The democratisation of music production is producing some amazing tools for anyone to make great sounding music. Taking classic musical theory and abstracting it away to a simple interface eliminates a very large barrier of entry to creating music. This is among the most inspiring instruments I've seen.

[HHGilean]

This is an amazing concept.

This would be a huge, huge help to those who want to create music (beats, lofi, anything) but didn't have a musical education growing up. But alongside that, it would also be an invaluable tool for any bedroom producer, limited by space in a studio apartment with room for only a few tools on a small desk.

I will absolutely purchase one of these if they go to market.

[Chitus]

"Oh wow" would just be an understatement. This is freakng amazing. Even me with no musical talent would like to play around this piece of hardware.

[MichaelTempest]

This is just the next level. It is what most people dream about having to get ideas out of their heads and onto paper. Well done all involved.

[_computerra]

As an engineer and a musician this brings me joy. This was clearly built by someone who is inspired and passionate about both - this can be said about the whole music industry, but a lot of modern products lack the creative push and precise finish that you presented in your beta. Chords builder, bass and variation knob were beautiful concepts!

[mieshacanb]

I am a professional singer, A lot of musicians know the note, but they don’t know the cord progression. This is brilliant.

[StereoGirl]

This is such an amazing instrument not only to attract people into playing with it but it has so much potential to teach beginners about complex music theory through discovery. I’m very excited for this instruments progression :)

[CrysiCrysis]

I love this so much. The aesthetic. The simplicity. The subtle functionality.

I’d get one in a heartbeat.

[jacksonmasco]

this instrument is the closest thing to what my brain does when making music; i have never cared about theory or chords, just numbers 💚 awesome demo and besides video
