BTW - it will only work on a MAC. It's not Windows compatible and you still need to hook it up to your stereo or guitar amp to get any kind of decent sound. The drums sound cheesy. $5600 is way too expensive for this toy. I wouldn't call it portable either. You need a computer at all times to hear anything. Does it have a spit valve? Where does the condensed breath water accumulate?? Horn players will know what I'm talking about.
@4Thugno That, sir or madam, is a matter of opinion. All forms of music have complexities, and simplicities. Choosing any one style may not please your ears, but it will debut the instrument. Listen closely, there's more going on than just beeps.
I don't think there are any Guitar VST's out that can handle The Eigenharp. Prominy is probably the closest but you have to load up like 10 different racks to get ONE sound. I would definitely use this as a controller for Wallander Wivi (Saxes) An you can change how the keys are laid out, so that's a plus!!!+++ I would learn this, and play my own guitar, bass, brass and w-wind tracks instead of hiring players. NOW I NEED IS A GREAT ORCHESTRAL STRING VST AND I'LL HAVE A COMPLETE BAND!!! LOL
I want one. Badly. One problem, however, is that I work on PC. My sequencer software, midi, etc., is all PC-based. If I spent the money to purchase an Eigenharp, I'd also have to spend a few grand for a Mac-based system. I've just purchased a Core i7-965 EE in April, so another computer purchase is out of the question forme.
Is there going to be a PC-based software design available?
Too true, you'd think they'd make it compatible with PC, that would expand their user base vastly. You already have to dish out $6000 for one of these, they just pour salt in the wound by asking for the majority of computer users to spend an extra $2000 dollars.
I just got an email from Eigenharp saying they expect to do a US tour and have PC ready software available early 2010. So this is good news. I'm serious when I say this is the most compelling new things I've seen in the music industry in 25 years. If it can emulate the sound of my Les Paul, I'm SO there, brother! BTW, they said they'll be at the 2010 NAMM show in Anaheim, too.
I have to say your product videos are pretty dumb.All very stylish, fast-cut and all but no way to figure out how the instrument actually looks as a whole because it's all just cut out micro-and macro views from stylish camera angles.Dumb.
Also - why is this video so dark ? All i can see in your stylish video is some lights in the dark.Not very helpful.
Is it so hard to produce a normal, calm video in a daylight setting that shows the actual product ?
I agree. And it wouldn't hurt to get someone who could record music that makes sense, as opposed to weird avante-garde nonsense. Hearing random beeps and outdated thump thump sounds doesn't make me want to learn more about the instrument

They are planning a PC software release in the start of 2010. So just hold tight.

If you really want to see what the actual instrument looks like, do your own research. There are plenty of videos out there.
