Aodyo Instruments has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its multidimensional MPE MIDI controller which offers musicians immediate playability and expressiveness to expand their creative possibilities.

Building on the expertise developed through the creation of the Sylphyo and Anyma synthesizers, Aodyo Instruments designed Loom to provide musicians with a versatile and powerful tool for live performances, studio recordings, and bedroom compositions.

Whether you play live, record in the studio or compose music in your bedroom, Loom will become a flexible and original addition to your setup.

Loom features

  • Playing modes: Includes keyboard, ribbon, strum, and drumkit modes, with more to be added via software updates. All are customizable with the included editor. Third-party development is also encouraged via a developer mode.
  • Multidimensional multitouch surface: Allows independent control of pitch (X), timbre (Y), and dynamics (Z) for each finger. Available in two or three-octave configurations.
  • Enhanced control: Provides unique sensors that complement the main surface: thumb-activated tactile sliders and bars on the front and back edge, as well as a pressure-sensitive action zone on the left.
  • Built for MPE and legacy MIDI: Optimized for MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression), but fully compatible with non-MPE MIDI instruments, with easy connection via USB-C or MIDI TRS cable with a wide range of hardware and software.

Aodyo Instruments is gearing up to kickstart the production of the Loom. People interested in backing the campaign and having an opportunity to secure a Loom at a reduced price can participate in the Kickstarter campaign until April 11th, 2024. Deliveries are expected in Summer 2024.
