CHROMATONE in da house!!!

[masterbate23]

what exactly is the difference from a real normal keyboard??

[AlphaCentauri00]

What a beautiful piece

[expandingvoid]

uhhhhhnnn!!!! funky shit

[Xoltoath]

I'm not convinced this is easier to play than a piano. On a piano you have the offset black and white keys to give you a reference. This looks just like a sea of buttons, I would feel like one could easily lose their place; I know I would.

[44eelz]

whoa when was this invented?

[clumsygirlboy]

wow.. just wow

is this difficlut to play? how about compare to piano

[JLMoriart]

It's actually 100 times easier. Because each interval is only one shape (whole tone is always one to the right, major third is always two to the right, etc) each thing you learn you know in every key right away, including scales, chords, runs, and entire pieces. It allows faster acquisition of the same musical ideas as the piano so that you can move on actual to musical expression sooner.

[RogerSquawk]

so the guitar is as isometric as this piano, but you dont see very many guitarists taking advantage of the system. they still get caught at f chord haha

[v3zero1980]

what the hell?? lol i cant even play a normal piano

[Smoothbassistthatsme]

wtf thats different

[anima1s]

hell yeah!

[DeepSeaSeamus]

apparently borth aurthur rubenstien and franz liszt supported this keyboard design when it was originally conceived and both felt that it would replace the old design without a doubt. If these two legendary guys thought it was so great why the hell aren't we using it today??

[JLMoriart]

Because the musical community is the hardest community there ever was to invoke a paradigm shift. Doesn't matter what the benefits are in the ergonomics of a new instrument compared to the old one, if teachers don't want to teach it then students can't learn it, and if parents want their students to be taught they make them learn the convoluted instruments with plethora of user interface load not at all associated with musical expression that people are actually teaching.

[tinyctlo]

I'd have to re-learn everything from the start and think of it as another instrument other than a piano. Hahaha Would love to try one!!! :)

[TranslationAudio]

this instrument is amazing

[linc1314]

what kind of piano is that

[HolyHansemandse]

Its a Jankó Piano

Look it up on Wikipedia

[llieske]

you play so well! what is the song, and can it be played on a normal keyboard ;)

[ericslane]

music such as this should never be attempted on a normal keyboard!

[llieske]

even if it shouldnt, that doesn't mean it's not possible ;)

[barcanard]

well something like this is possible, since there are a lot of chords in this that already are played on a regular keyboard.

[ericslane]

yes, but can you really achieve the nuance that the chromatone offers?

[kennethsmusic]

It's only the KEYS that are different. The sound is the same as on a regular keyboard. So it is ofcourse possible to play this song on a regular keyboard too.

[musserplayer]

Ah, never mind.  I just checked out you other vid, and it the same one, Rain, by Yukihiro Kitazaki

[musserplayer]

I'm just curious, but what piece are you playing?

[YukihiroKitazaki]

It is just what you say definitely and it enables most.

You can buy it in the CHROMATONE webshop if you want this

Check this out!!!!

However, it is necessary for you to put socks by the pillow if you believe in the existence of Santa Claus.

[atlanticus]

I play classic piano very well, looking at this chromatic keyboard i believe this could be a major improvement, the scales are closer and range is obviously bigger. Now I want some new thing for christmass.. ;) Thx for sharing

[ayao323]

はじめて見た！

すごーい。。。

[sharquteri]

How many octaves does it have?

[YukihiroKitazaki]

To the keyboard size of 61 keys, the chromatic system ( Muto method) realizes 71 keys. you wanna play it ?

[SwampNinjaof2006]

@YukihiroKitazaki the basic keyboard/piano 61 keys, consist of 183 strings, which is basically what she/it is playing. The standard 88 keys piano has 264 strings...SO BLAH!!!. Give me that shiznit, I bet I make her look like a dumbass!

[davidsmith633]

Why couldn't he just play that on a normal piano? Then you get all the beautiful choice of tones that modern pianos can offer?

[SquigglyP]

this is a demo of the device, not just done for the song. It would be sort of pointless to play it on a piano, no? :P

[emptyrayn]

... dumbass much?

[rx4u57]

There is an Italian company that makes an acoustic piano version of this keyboard for an extra 7,000 euros.

[heeerro]

oh iteresting! i want to buy one! if anoyone has any clue how to get hold of one please repy to this post or message my profile! :D (i've seen their homepage but it seems to be dead)

-mats

[MelaMan]

Excellent playing, but I think the makers need to work on reducing key clicking noise.

[wdtfs]

Are you going to post that same comment on every Chromatone video?

[familyguylover22]

ROFL!!!

[phoez]

amazing device

[groovey12791]

Well, it's not that pretty of a keyboard, but... love the music... it's relaxing.

[AleliusAlelian]

it's a typewriter that makes music, ya dumbhole

[ILUPEOPLE]

maybe you could be a bit nicer. Honestly.

[SlumphTehDirector]

lmfao

[YouVRay]

hahahah nice one, dumbhole??? -.-"

[NeoMalikov]

Looks cool, but what's the use for this thing? like, can you explain what I'm seeing?!

[fdqwt43qfdw]

It's a Chromatone, an electronic piano thing with a Janko chromatic keyboard. And it makes my head hurt to imagine playing one. :) I give this fellow some credit for his skill at it.

[Pdariean]

it s easer to play than a normel keyboard. if you can play a a normel board than you can play this in 5 minutes. the keys are the same. This keyboard is made so you can easily play with out need to bend your fingers out of wac. Each not has 3 keys in a line hit any one its the same note.
