Eigenharp is a brand of electronic instrument made by Eigenlabs, a company based in Devon, UK,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eigenlabs.com/about )〕 invented by John Lambert and released in 2009 after developing it for eight years. The "instrument" is in essence a highly flexible and portable controller, with the sound being actually generated in the software it drives. Characteristics of all of the instruments are: * A matrix of velocity sensitive multi-expressive keys, each of which act like a 6-way analog joystick. This allows the simultaneous pitch bend and modulation (or other parameters) of each played note individually. * A stick-like vertical form factor akin to a sitar for the larger models or a flute in the smaller ones. * A built-in wind controller, giving the larger versions of the instrument an appearance similar to a bassoon. * One or two ribbon controller strips. * The software is available as open-source under the GPLv3 and runs both on Macintosh and Windows. Additionally, the larger models have: * A series of percussion keys * A built-in step sequencer with indicator LEDs for each key. * A headphone amplifier with an output on the instrument ==Models== The instrument comes in three models: Alpha, Tau, and Pico, in decreasing order of size. Each has a breath-pipe, a key matrix (120, 72, and 18) and a ribbon controller. The Alpha and Tau also have 12 percussion keys each, a second ribbon controller, and headphone output. The Alpha also has microphone preamplifier with an input on the instrument.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eigenlabs.com/alpha/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eigenharp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
