Miselu Inc.

edit

Miselu derives from the Japanese word “to show” and “to enchant”. We are a team dedicated to the use of technology in showing our world in new and enchanting ways. Android-powered, social back-end music device that brings a new experience of creative interaction with music and video.

Miselu, founded in 2008 by Japanese entrepreneur Yoshinari Yoshikawa, plans to release the music device in 2012 consisting of a piano keyboard, touch-sensitive panel and camera that can connect to social network websites.

The California-based company developed the device jointly with Yamaha Corp., a major Japanese musical instrument maker, and other concerns.

Yamaha and Miselu are planning to develop MIDI and audio processing Android-based software module “Music SDK” which will be necessary for development of music instruments and music production environments on the Android platform.
