Traditional MIDI controllers are typically keyboards or grids, designed to be played with one technique. But there are so many more ways to create. Enter the Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1: a new kind of digital instrument that adapts to you. Strum, slide, tap, and drum any sound on a single interface.

WHAT PLAYERS ARE SAYING

Testimonials
Testimonial 7

I love the INSTRUMENT 1 for so many reasons. I'm a singer-songwriter first, a technology lover second -- and I find that the INSTRUMENT 1 not only meets me where I am, but helps me improve my music skills and opens doors for what I can do tech/production wise.

As a touring musician, I am always on the go. Having the INSTRUMENT 1 with me means that I can make most any sound that I want to, at any time. I’ve never been a synthesizer person, but now I can be!

Testimonial 1

The point isn’t to substitute a real guitar. It’s to give producers access to another tool: just like the MPC wasn’t meant to replace a drummer or the MIDI controller wasn’t meant to replace the synth.

Testimonial 4

I tend to produce with the guitar in mind. Translating the way I understand chord movement to a traditional MIDI controller has often left me unimpressed. The INSTRUMENT 1 has changed that forever.
