Behringer unveils open-source Polykeys 61 MIDI keyboard
Original: Behringer Polykeys 61: an open-source MIDI keyboard controller with polyphonic aftertouch
Behringer has announced the Polykeys 61, a MIDI keyboard controller with 61 keys and polyphonic aftertouch, described as an open-source design. Polyphonic aftertouch lets players modulate individual notes independently, a feature usually found on rare, expensive instruments. Behringer's move to open-source hardware, if confirmed, would let users and third parties modify or build on the design, drawing attention in the music production community.
Why now: Behringer combining polyphonic aftertouch with an open-source approach at a likely low price is notable for musicians and gear enthusiasts
