Evolution of classic keyboard keys in the light of modern touch technology.
THE EVO
Our masterpiece! Keys with touch, an interface faster than any other, a housing of anodized aluminum, state-of-the-art technology, and all designed by us. For those who accept no compromise, the evo represents the technological feasibility of our "Magic Key" technology.
Communications
Concerning communications we have chosen a rather untypical interface. The evo transmits its data via ethernet. The main reason for this is the enormous advantage in speed compared to other interfaces. The result is a keyboard faster than any other.
Comfort
Besides all the technical achievements, we consider it important that your evo is ready to use out-of-the-box. In general, all you have to do is to connect your evo to your host-system using the supplied ethernet-cable. With COMM, the evo‘s software, the rest becomes mere child‘s play.
Reliability
Not only is your evo an innovative masterpiece, we have also made sure that you can rely on its functionality. For example, only highest quality parts have been chosen in order to guarantee steady work.
Housing
In our opinion, an instrument as technically advanced as the evo deserves a proper housing. This is the reason why we used highest quality anodized aluminium building it. On the one hand, this results in a valuable and appealing look, but on the other hand also ensures the evo‘s stability and ruggedness.
Made in Germany
Every evo is assembled by hand. Every screw, the whole wiring, all the boards and finally the housing are put together piece by piece. It is the only way to guarantee the evo‘s high quality, to discover any faults which might arise and to eliminate them. It is not just quality „made in Germany“, it is „handmade in Germany“.
Keys
Looking at the keys a little closer, it will certainly strike your eye that they slighty differ from other keys in form and size. This is caused by the integration of the touch-sensors. In order to ensure the perfect usability of these sensors we had to slightly modify their measurements. As a result, you get the perfect usage of the touch-surface.
Velocity recalibration
Every digital keyboard describes the power of a keystroke as so called velocity using a curve. With the evo you are now able to calibrate this curve for your specific keystroke. Furthermore, you are able to tell the evo what a hard or a weak keystroke is.
Sensors
The evo has got touch in every key! We have used sensors which scan the position of your fingers 500 times per second using a resolution of 8 bits. As a result, the evo recognizes movements within a range starting at as small as 0,1 millimeters.
Mapping
Both black and white keys are equipped with a specific sensor-layout. With the help of this array it is possible to touch a key avoiding to gather the data of your finger‘s position.
Active area
This area is touch-sensitive. The sensor extends over the whole key and scans for movements. Touching the key automatically submits the starting position.
Non-active area
Everything that occures in this area will not be scanned by the sensors. Touching a key has the same effect as with an ordinary keyboard.
