Artiphon’s Instrument 1 can act as a guitar, violin, piano, drum machine, bass, and more, which means the instruments you own will not limit your creativity.
Instrument 1 is a singular instrument that acts as the whole band. The instrument does not depend on an individual’s skill level and can be used by those with even a limited knowledge of creating music. The digital interface acts as strings, keys, or drum pads that simply need to be tapped, strummed, or slid across like a bow.
The instrument can connect to smartphones, tablets, and computers, and is also compatible with a variety of music production apps. It can also be custom tuned via an app.
Instrument 1 has a compact design so it is easy to transport, and has built-in speakers so no amplifier is required.
The company’s Kickstarter campaign has surpassed its $75,000 goal with nearly one million dollars pledged. If you want to reserve one you’ll need to pledge $349.
