I have no vested interest in project. It looks interesting and I signed on. Your opinions sought.
Here is the Kickstarter address:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/88 ... reinvented.
It is called a "re.corder".
The premise is that they take a soprano recorder and electronically modify it to:
1. Be played as a regular soprano.
2. Be played (blowed) as a sort of EWI with software emulating various instruments.
3. Be played as a MIDI controller (not blowed) emulating various instruments.
To me:
Pro:
It uses recorder fingerings and can connect with a computer over Bluetooth.
The fingerings (they say) can be set to other tuneings.
The cost will be about $80 shipped.
Con:
It is a soprano recorder and thus small, shrill and too small for my hands.
It is a Kickstarter and my money might be gambled away if this never actually gets to production.
I always wanted an electronic recorder so this might fit the bill.
