Most conventional electronic keyboards feature a classical piano-like arrangement of keys. While this sort of design makes the transition from traditional piano playing easier, it can limit some of the possibilities that an electronic keyboard can accomplish. Piano layouts are arranged in that way because each key corresponds to hammers that strike string, but an electronic keyboard doesn't necessarily need to take any specific form.
Taking this theory to a whole new level, two Louisville Soundbuilder designers created an isomorphic keyboard with a dramatically different layout. Featuring 192 different keys, this keyboard produces a plethora of different sounds. The keys are also velocity sensitive, meaning sounds become louder as the keyboard strokes are harder.
Isomorphic Keyboard
Although the current construction looks a bit confusing with hundreds of computer keyboard keys, the designers hope to create custom color-coded hexagonal keys for future models. Check out the above video to see the creators' explanation on the construction, layout and abilities of this innovative keyboard device.
