This MIDI controller features a distinctive hexagonal arrangement of 140 keys, with an RGB LED under each key to illuminate the notes as you play. With the simple interface, you can easily change the note layout to fit your preferences, allowing for a fully customizable experience. It comes in a stylish, compact form-factor making it easy to carry around in a backpack for producing music on-the-go. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, the HexBoard MIDI controller will let you explore music in a fun, intuitive, and uniquely inspiring way!

These controllers are hand-built to order, so it may take 2-4 weeks to build and ship out your unit. I will keep you updated via email as I go.

Orders outside the US may need to pay customs fees/duties on delivery.
Features
  • 140 hexagonal, non-velocity sensitive keys: 133 in the isomorphic play area and 7 as function keys on the side.
  • Per-key RGB illumination places GOD'S ENTIRE RAINBOW under your fingertips.
  • Reactive animations allow you to make this the musical equivalent of the most obnoxious gamer keyboard you've ever seen.
  • Rotary encoder and OLED display make picking layouts, tunings, and other settings a breeze.
  • Open-source firmware gives you the option to hack in your own features. It doesn't run DOOM yet, but that's just a matter of time...
  • Powered by the RP2040 maxed out with 16MB of flash memory just in case you actually intend to port DOOM.
  • Simple built-in synth for those times you want to play music, but not bad enough to fire up your DAW.
  • And much much more, but I'm too tired to keep typing.
