To improvise, learn, compose.
Play. Play. Play. Play.
Made from emotions and among friends.

Nopia is a semi-modular harmony generator with an onboard sound engine and full MIDI connectivity.
It’s designed around the theoretical principle of perceiving chords as degrees, something that our ears already sort of perceive quite naturally.
The Chord Builder, Tonal Selector and Extensions dial let you navigate through chord progressions. These can be sonically manifested through the sound modules: Keys, Bass, Arp and Pad. They all feed into a master effects chain and Looper!
