7 parts simultaneously, perhaps more, can be accomplished on the Monolith. Instead of "individualization of hands" - "individualization of fingers" is the required technique. Here is an excerpt from "Sixth Angel" from the Symphony of the Seven Angels - 2nd Movement, that I just finished composing.in 2019.

Invention
The synthesizer deserves a brighter future than what the 300 year old piano keyboard can offer. The piano is a beautiful instrument, but it was never designed or intended to perform multi-timbral music. The Monolith however, was invented for this express purpose - to perform arrangements of instruments by manual fingering on a two-dimensional plane.
For more information on the Monolithic Two-dimensional Multitimbral Keyboard please visit the Monolith webpage.
Jacob Duringer performs an excerpt of "The First Seal."
Watch a music video of Jacob Duringer performing "Longsuffering" on the Monolithic Two Dimensional Keyboard.
The Monolithic Two-Dimensional Multitimbral Keyboard is still in the prototype phase and is not in production. If you would like to be kept abreast of its manufacturing status or are interested in bringing this instrument to fruition for others to enjoy please put your contact information on the guestbook web page.
Electronic Music
Since the inception of the synthesizer, synthesists have wanted to individually manually perform all the parts of their composition live without accompaniment such as multitracking, programming or programmed mapping. However the one dimensional piano keyboard prevents musicians from realizing this dream. The Monolith makes this dream a reality.
The Monolithic Two-dimensional Multitimbral Keyboard allows a player to perform live all the parts simultaneously of their composition by manual fingering on a two-dimensional plane. Each linear chromatic row is a different midi channel therefore a different instrument. A player assigns different fingers to different instruments at any given moment. There is no sequencing, tracking or programming. Please visit the Monolith webpage for more information.
The live performance album “Gates of the Unseen” , a musical study of Biblical accounts where Heaven and Earth intersect, is now published and available on iTunes, Amazon Music, Bandcamp, and many other providers.
Synthesizers used on this album: K2000RS, B2600.
