At first thought, mapping a suitably-equipped digital piano’s output to the MIDI standard seems like child’s play, certainly compared to other keyboard instruments, synths and the like which can generate and transmit far more musical data. The Issue A standard piano really only needs to transmit the note number being […]
Kaona has announced its B.A.C.H. melodic, harmonic and rhythmic generator Eurorack module, which can generate over four tracks and gain feedback from the pitch, duration and dynamics of the existing track activity, plus compositional rules and constraints defined by the musician.

Valentyn Danylchuk has created a virtual toy synth in code which can be installed on an ESP32-based device, or alternatively played with in a modern browser.

The cat-and-mousing and ethical shuffling around the use of AI in music continues as leading digital music store/streaming platform Beatport outlines its position on what tracks it will allow on its service. In a nutshell, Beatport will no longer accept fully or majority AI-generated tracks. Such submissions will be withheld, […]
From the dawn of synths, through the iconic Yamaha DX7 and beyond, we’ve had amazing instruments which felt as if the musician needed a degree in physics and audio engineering in order to successfully program — power with complexity. So we’ve then seen a number of instruments offering powerful sound […]
The Roland Future Design Lab has announced the launch of the V-STAGE Accessibility Guide, a project offering accessible information and tutorials for using the Roland V-STAGE range of performance keyboards.
