The unique capacitive sensor board of the device required a material capable of matching the tactile nature of the keypad, while also providing the long-term durability and aesthetics expected from a high-quality hand-held instrument.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Chorda features an advanced synth and sample engine, plus an enhanced interface with a 12-key bridge that utilises capacitive sensing technology for diverse finger interactions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cHand-held devices operated by touch and under frequent wear and tear conditions need high strength, rigidity and dimensional stability if they are meant to last for a long life without losing their functionality and appeal,\u201d said\u00a0Federico Baruffi, global marketing manager, Specialty Polymers, at Syensqo. \u201cOur Ixef\u00a0PARA resin gave Artiphon the perfect combination of high surface quality, scratch and warpage resistance along with the right haptic feel to support the intuitive approach of the smart electronic instrument.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The natural Ixef\u00a0grade selected for Chorda exhibits a superior flexural modulus compared to other non-glass filled plastics, preventing the long housing parts from bending when the instrument is played and still allowing the capacitive keypad to respond with immediate sensitivity to the taps, swipes and strums of users. When moulded thinly, Ixef\u00a0also offers partial translucency, allowing LED indicators to be visible and can easily be coloured in dark or bright shades. Its excellent flowability ensures proper mould fill over long flow paths and delivers flawless surfaces as moulded.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Adam McHeffey, chief marketing officer at Artiphon, stated: \u201cWe created Chorda with three core values in mind: approachability, multiplicity, and immediacy. At the same time, the long-lasting design of this sensory music instrument prompted us to look for a cost-efficient plastic material with the right balance of ruggedness and high quality to maximise the pleasure of play for many years. Syensqo\u2019s Ixef\u00a0material proved to offer the best property profile for all this to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With housings moulded in black, white or blue coloured Ixef\u00a0PARA, the first Chorda musical instruments were commercialised world-wide in November 2023.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>interplasinsights<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iranpolymer\/Baspar Syensqo\u00a0has announced that Nashville-based\u00a0Artiphon\u00a0company has chosen Ixef\u00a0polyarylamide (PARA) resin for moulding the housing and keypad of\u00a0Chorda, a novel electronic musical instrument.
