[The playing feel is just like an acoustic instrument, the birth of a completely new electronic instrument like no other]
aFrame is a completely new electronic instrument like no other that can be played with the feel of an acoustic instrument without compromising the player's original feeling. The uniquely developed* ""Adaptive Timbre Technology"" allows you to express sounds, tone changes, effect control, and more, all by ""hitting,"" ""pushing,"" and ""rubbing,"" which are the original methods of playing percussion, but which were not possible with conventional digital percussion using PCM sound sources.
The striking surface, which is the basis of playing, is made of a material with a supple feel that is reminiscent of the resilience and friction of skin, achieving a natural playing feel.
The wooden-like outer frame of this unit is made of ""bamboo."" It has the advantages of being less likely to shrink and having good volume balance. The gentle feel on the player's hands is a finish that symbolizes the ""organic"" concept of the product.
This outer frame part was created in collaboration with Fujigen Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of guitars, various musical instruments, and wood panels for cars.
* ""Adaptive Timbre Technology""
A technology that dynamically adapts the characteristics of a large number of filters in response to the changes in the striking surface and the movement of the frequency components of the sound associated with the various playing methods of percussionists, creating a wide variety of timbre changes in the instrument.

● Stress-free bare-handed performance
Percussionists and drummers can play without changing their ""bare-handed playing style"".
You can play a wide range of sounds, from traditional percussion sounds to new digital sounds, without stress.
● Various playing styles
The unique rectangular shape with cut corners achieves a wide variety of timbre changes depending on where you hit. In addition, you can play in a variety of styles without being bound by stereotypes, such as ""holding it"", ""placing it on a stand"", or ""hanging it around your neck"" with a strap.
This unit can be powered by a commercially available mobile battery. Connecting the audio output to a wireless device makes it cable-free, allowing for flexible response to performances and productions on stage.
●Free sound creation
The new technology ""Adaptive Timbre Technology"" is used to create preset tones such as acoustic tones and electronic tones.
It also has a high-quality stereo effector, allowing you to create an infinite number of sounds by combining tones and effects. Up to 80 user tones can be saved in the main unit.
