The INSTRUMENT 1 is a musical toolkit that adapts to the way you want to play. It’s the first MIDI multi-instrument that lets you strum, slide, tap, and drum any sound on a single interface.

Hold the INSTRUMENT 1 in multiple positions and play with a range of intuitive musical techniques. Revolutionary digital strings let you easily customize tunings, choose fretted or fretless, and even control effects and bends with pressure sensitivity.

Choose the way you want to play using a variety of traditional techniques. Strum any sound using the guitar preset or switch to tabletop position and tap for a more natural performance on drums or keys. You can even customize your own tunings for an instrument that is as unique as your music.

Use your guitar, bass, and other string skills to play any sound imaginable with synths or samples. The INSTRUMENT 1’s digital string interface can be fretted or fretless, and can be instantly re-tuned to any scale. It’s even velocity and pressure-sensitive, so you can map effects to your fingertips.

The INSTRUMENT 1 goes with you anywhere and sounds like anything. And since it’s Made for iOS, you can leave your computer at home when you’re traveling light. Connect to the Artiphon iOS app or hundreds of other apps including GarageBand, Animoog, and more.

The INSTRUMENT 1’s built-in speakers put out all the sound you need for the writing session, while the onboard headphone jack allows for stealth mode on the subway.
