Steve Boyer: sole designer, builder, software and electronics engineer

The Trichord is a keyboard styled interface exploring visual and spatial relationships between notes of the chromatic scale. 

Steve Boyer writes —
The Trichord is a keyboard instrument with keys arranged in a hexagonal pattern in order to emphasize harmonic relationships of 5ths and 3rds. The instrument is a keyboard with keys laid out in a hexagonal pattern. The relationship between the keys is such that triangles represent triads. An upward facing triangle is a major third and a downward facing triangle is a minor triad.
