The Chord Machine AKT-0.1 by Akuto Studio is a compact, intuitive MIDI device designed to simplify harmony creation. Inspired by the Tonnetz system, a geometric visual representation of harmonic space theorised by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler, it offers an innovative way to navigate chord progressions. The interface enables fluid exploration of harmonic relationships, making complex chord combinations more accessible. Featuring a touchscreen, USB-MIDI connectivity and an ergonomic design, the AKT-0.1 is designed with precision in Switzerland. Whether in live performance or studio production, it empowers musicians with a seamless and creative approach to chord generation, making complex compositions fun and easy for any type of musician.
