Sure, this is a different kind of keyboard, but some of you may like it anyway.
CHOMPI is a sampler and looper from the two-person team of Tobias and Chelsea.
As electronic music enthusiasts, they try to make the world of sound design more accessible to a larger audience. More than 10 years into the hobby, their passion has evolved into a unique musical instrument platform.
CHOMPI is built around the Daisy platform which, as of my understanding, is a set of controller boards and an Arduino-like ecosystem made specifically for audio projects.
