A grid for easy improvisation on a pocket synthétizer

 

Do you know the KORG Kaossilator 2 ?

This is an amazing pocket synthetizer with a lot of  imbeded sounds and drums paterns  to play with your finger.

Here a sample of sounds.

Very fun to create music with your  finger and loop them with the two banks  is 'n it ,  but in fact it is not very easy to play  melody 

because the touch pad has no keys ! 

The goal of this project is to print a grid for the touchpad in order to get some keys as a keyboard  and easy melody compostion.

 

 

First of all i made studies drawing and some "paper" prototype in order to validate the concept.

here is the paper protoype with 3 , 8 , 5 and 2 notes in the range .

 

 Then I created my first grid in 3D.

Now I look forward to test the first 3D print  of the stl file below

 

 

 

 

 

2n version , HExa grid for 2 ranges od 8 notes. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

see you soon to talk about tests results .... and more musics ...
