News for techies that like and or play music. REVOLUTIONARY RADICAL NEW INSTRUMENT, the Eigenharp, debuts for the first time in the U.S.! The Eigenharp is a truly innovative new type of musical instrument.

Available in a variety of finishes, it has 120 highly sensitive keys, 12 percussion keys, 2 strip controllers, a breath pipe and numerous pedal inputs. This gives almost endless possibilities for flexible keyboard layouts, fast instrument switching and expressive musical control. The comprehensive software system provides a wealth of musical performance features, including playback of its own native instruments, many common software plugins, soundfonts or midi instruments.

Eigenlabs will be demonstrating 3 instruments for the first time in America at Winter NAMM on January 14, 2010: the Eigenharp Alpha, a professional level instrument which allows the musician to play and improvise, change scale and key, transpose, alter tempo, program beats, create arrangements, switch and layer multiple sounds -- all while performing live on stage; the Eigenharp Pico, a versatile and fun instrument that anyone can learn to play ; and will be unveiling a NEW mid-range product for the first time ANYWHERE.

The Alpha requires a Mac computer to run. Click here for full software specification.
