MIDIKalimba

Play like a kalimba, expressive MIDI out

MIDIKalimba is a MIDI controller played like a kalimba with fingers or thumbs on touch-sensitive pads and can output:

• MIDI over USB
• MIDI over TRS (a TRS-5-pin DIN lead gives MIDI over 5-pin DIN)

You can set any scale/mode, octave and root note, for example C6 Mixolydian or G4 Minor Pentatonic, and then you'll be able to effortlessly play the notes in that scale and key.

It features velocity-sensitivity for expressive playing and a built-in looper.

A note for US friends: The new import tariff is pre-paid. Your parcel will bear the PDDP logo to indicate that and should be waved through customs without delay or further charge.

Includes:

• Fully built and tested
• Custom firmware, written from scratch for this project.
• The manual

FAQs

Does it have audio out?

At present, MIDIKalimba is a MIDI controller only. There are some good solutions for a potable audio module, I us an MT32Pi here and use my phone here. See the playlist below.
