Keyboard Case Turns Your iPad Into a Pint-Sized Piano

While there are many iPad cases out there with built in keyboards, one company is attempting to bring a more musical type of keyboard to the iPad.

Meet C.24, a two-octave wireless keyboard case for the iPad that replaces the computer keyboard from a traditional keyboard case with piano keys. The case sends MIDI input to your iPad wirelessly, and will work with any music app you have installed on the tablet.

A strip of buttons above the piano keys lets you control things such as what octave the keyboard will play in and add effects like tone modulation.

Miselu, the company who designed the keyboard, also designed an open standard for hardware expansion modules. That means that tactile controls such as faders, knobs and XY pads could also be available in the future to help you with your musical stylings.

The C.24 isn?t quite ready for the market yet. Miselu has created a Kickstarter project to help fund production of the device, and for purchasing materials for the project in higher quantities, thus making it cheaper to acquire.

A $99 donation to the Kickstarter project will get you one of the first C.24?s off the assembly line, with estimated delivery in November.
