When Brockett Parsons, Lady Gaga’s keyboard player, looked at the sorts of fancy designs available to his bandmate guitarist, he set out to create a fancy, yet useful and playable keyboard design. He recruited some friends from the keyboard manufacturing industry, and the end result is the PianoArc, a circular MIDI keyboard controller. It previewed at NAMM 2014, and Keyboard Magazine reports that “it’s surprisingly natural and very inspiring to play.” I want one!
It brings us a step closer to the funky instruments from that old Buck Rogers episode with the 25th-century band, Andromeda:

Hey,
I didn't know of the 25th century band Andromeda, but I'm glad I found your blog. It seems we share the same interest: music technology. Actually, my team went to NAMM this year and seeing PianoArc was pretty awesome. Would love if you shared some of your thoughts on my article. http://nextsound.co/2014/02/07/pianoarc-paves-the-way-for-novelty-musical-instruments/
Also -- my site has only been up for two weeks. I really want to connect with the other music tech blogs so we can strengthen each other. If you would be fine with it, I would love to link to you on http://nextsound.co/our-friends/.
Best,
Your Friends @ NextSound
