Sound & Colour
Sound & Colour is a sound synthesis device with powerful musical learning and jamming potential. Unlike many commercially available “learner” instruments, Sound & Colour takes an alternative approach to learning music, focusing on allowing the user access to the mathematical concepts and relationships which dictate musicality without having to develop a deep understanding.
Sound & Colour features a hexagonal harmonic table layout instead of a traditional keyboard layout providing enhanced ergonomics and minimising learning requirements. This is complemented by an easy to follow LED colour display, with colours mapped to different musical intervals allowing the user to navigate the musical tone field visually, through spatial and colour feedback.
