Unlike acoustic instruments, existing keyboards lack the techniques needed to create tuneful melodies with simple actions like bending a string in a guitar, or continuous travel between notes in a violin, or blowing air harder into a flute.
Ariano’s K2 advanced expressive keyboard has five new gestures that allow musicians to play smooth melodies across multiple musical instruments by sensing multiple dimensions of information within a single key.
Till date, the startup has received interest from over 40 international musicians. Acclaimed musicians, who have experienced the early versions of the product, affirm that it is – “the greatest advancement to the keyboard since the keyboard”.
Ariano is working closely with Intel mentors in its journey to build its first version of Ariano K2. The team plans to leverage Intel technology and expertise in advancing its product to include AI algorithms to learn the patterns of the musicians for personalization.
Ariano is a music-tech startup, building the world’s most expressive keyboard using sensor technology, enabling professional and amateur musicians to create expressive melodies.
