“Rather than the simple on/off switches of a standard MIDI keyboard, the LinnStrument’s RGB-backlit note pads sense each finger’s subtle movements in five ways, enabling musical performance expression rivaling that of fine acoustic instruments
The five types of touch sensing are as follows: Strike Velocity Pressure (Z axis) Left-Right (X axis) Front-Back (Y axis) Release Velocity Some LinnStrument PhilosophyThe piano’s note arrangement is great for turning a sound on and off, but its uneven pitch intervals and rear-positioned black keys make it ill-suited for performing natural pitch bends and slides, an important element of expressive performance
And the piano keyboard isn’t isomorphic; for each chord or scale, you must learn 12 different fingerings, one for each of the 12 musical keys
Stringed instruments don’t have any of these problems because the physics of a string require the semitones to be uniformly spaced and positioned
