Keith McMillen Instruments has announced that they are rebranding as Muse Kinetics.
The name change was in the works prior to KMI founder Keith McMillen’s death a few weeks ago. Here’s what the company has to say about the name change:
“In the past several years, Keith McMillen Instruments has undergone substantial changes, while introducing new features, colors, and software updates to an enhanced product lineup. The company has also made significant improvements in their core technology, quality control and customer service, all with the goal of amplifying the potential of its instruments to inspire creativity.
The company’s new name, Muse Kinetics, embodies the dynamic relationship between musicians and their instruments”
The following instruments are the first under the new brand:
- QuNexus Galaxy – A new color option, available now
- BopPad Galaxy – A new color option, available now
- 12 Step2 – In stock now
- SoftStep3 – Available in October.
- Accessories: Step Adapter Kit, QuNexus Adapter Kit, MIDI Out Adapter Cable
The following products will keep KMI branding until the current inventory is sold:
- K-Board C (available in all 5 colors)
- K-Board Pro 4
- Accessories: BopPad Mount, MIDI Expander, K-Board Pro Case
The K-Mix and QuNeo have been officially discontinued, and no remaining stock is available.
“As we move forward without Keith, we are profoundly grateful for the foundation he laid,” said Eric Bateman, CEO of Muse Kinetics. “We stand on his shoulders, striving to continue his legacy of inspiring creativity and innovation through our musical instruments.”
