Harmonic table MIDI controller
The C-Thru Music Axis 49 MIDI controller is now available, having been unveiled in June 2008. Like its older brother the Axis 64, the Axis 49 uses an array of hexagonal keys arranged in accordance to the harmonic table instead of piano keys. These buttons are assigned so that different shapes trigger different types of chord (major and minor triads, for example), no matter where on the grid you play them.
