GitHub – BenjaminPoilve/minichord: A pocket-sized musical instrument

Wow, this seem great. I know pretty much nothing about making music, but I've wanted something that I can stim with that's nice and tactile, but also makes sound depending on how it's touched. I looked at Glo, The Polyphonic Whale, but never got one. I have an Otamatone, but don't like how I can't do more than one note at the same time (no chording).

This plus headphones seems like a fun time!

Meta: This is a very messy title, it should just be "The minichord: a pocket-sized musical instrument" or something like that. We have the github info in the auto-generated blurb right after the title, after all. Thanks.

Context: this seems to be an hommage to, or inspired by, the Omnichord. [0]

		I can confirm that it is :) Though I never had one (they are rare in France), it became sort of a pop culture icon. For me it was through the work of Rebecca Sugar on Adventure Time. I always liked to play silly made up songs, so I made a silly instrument to go along with it! If you want to listen to a true musician using it, I recommand Hijaq's work on YouTube[1]. He uses many other pocket instruments if that is an interest of yours! [1]:https://www.youtube.com/@hijaqmusic/videos

Super cool! I wanted to click on the device buttons on the landing page and expected to get video or sounds. Maybe include the youtube video there?
