Chromatone 312



The 'wholetone' or 'Janko' keyboard layout for this confusing looking instrument was patented in 1882 by Hungarian mathematician/musician Paul von Janko. Notes are repeated, meaning that chords in different keys can be played the same way and an octave span is smaller than on a normal keyboard.

The Sidstation takes musicians back to the early 1980s. The synth contains a SID chip – the same microprocessor that provided the Commodore 64 with its unique sounds.
