I’m prototyping a palm-sized breath-controlled synth/MIDI instrument. Is this something you would actually want to use?
It’s called Ikal. The concept uses 10 finger pads, two thumb controls for octave changes and a pressure sensor for breath expression. It would include internal sounds, a speaker, headphones and BLE-MIDI.
I already have the electronics on a custom PCB, while the enclosure is still being refined and 3D printed. Nothing is for sale and I’m not taking preorders. I’m just trying to understand whether musicians genuinely want something like this.
The idea is to have a poket size instrument, that don't have to be connected to a computer to work, with a lot of synth sound opitons and some samples sounds.
Would you use it? What would your main use case be, and what would make you lose interest?
