C4NDY KeyVLM is a 65-key keyboard with an ortholinear layout and direct turntable and digital device connectivity. That means you can mix the music from your devices and your records, which is a bonus for DJs and sampling producers alike.
Its creator, Yamamoto Shunichi, has demonstrated the C4NDY KeyVLM on Instagram and there’s a GitHub repository if you want to help him out on the software end.
