Now, plug in any analog synth or virtual instrument. Turn off your mind. Follow your gut. Open up a new melodic pathway. Stumble into tomorrow’s beats. Discover new chords. Hear new notes. Lumatone is colour and music, together forever.”
280 Keys.
Millions of Colours.
Lumatone’s rising hexagonal grid of 280 keys gives you access to more notes than you’ve ever been able to reach with one hand. You can create unlimited mappings thanks to its LED keys. Choose custom key colours, assign them to trigger any MIDI note and channel, and choose from exciting key behaviours that enable new heights of expression.
Go Isomorphic.
Never Look Back.
Lumatone’s layout enables fully isomorphic mappings. With Isomorphism, the same chord or scales retain the same hand shape anywhere on the keyboard, no matter what the key. It’s incredibly intuitive, encouraging performers to use less common intervals, or explore microtonality. Discover musical passages you might otherwise not think to play!
Familiar Feel.
Advanced Expression.
All the familiar key travel of a keyboard, with all the advanced expression of a next-generation MIDI controller. Lumatone features polyphonic aftertouch. You can convert any key to a fader to modulate CC parameters. Plus, a new expression mode called Lumatouch allows you to modulate what you play across the entire range of the key.
