The definitive isomorphic keyboard.
Musix is a fully-customizable multiple-layout isomorphic musical keyboard.

Each hexagon on the screen is a note, and surrounding hexagons are harmonically related.

- Play along with your favorite song without practicing for years
- Learn one shape, play in any key
- Explore music by the relationship between notes
not by placement on an instrument
- Play along with your friends without being an expert
- Release the song in your head


FEATURES:

  • ✔ Different Key Sizes

What this means is that once you have learned a pattern, say a chord
or a scale, that pattern is the same for all keys, even the dreaded
A-Flat! What's more, you can learn to play melodies on a traditional
keyboard by playing them on the Musix keyboard and watching where the
sharps and flats go.

Songwriters benefit by discovering new melodies and musical
relationships. Novices find it easy to learn to play. Experienced
musicians are rewarded with an intuitive interface.
