A typical piano has 12 keys per octave. This “Tonal Plexus” microtonal MIDI keyboard however has 211 keys per octave, and each key can be custom tuned! Aside from the fact that it looks like its made up of Lego pieces, it seems like a pretty cool idea.

It’s not quite time yet to throw out your old keyboard, but the AirPiano might make you want to. The Airpiano is a musical interface that allows you to play and control software based instruments by simply moving your hands above it.

Above the AirPiano is a virtual matrix of keys and faders, each assigned with MIDI messages and ready to be triggered. The length of a triggered note is equivalent to the time a hand
is placed on the corresponding virtual key.
This is also confirmed by LED feedback.

Here’s some videos to check out.

The Airpiano is only a prototype at the moment, so there’s no word on whether you could actually wind up with one of these in the future.
