A warm welcome to our Corporate Partners, Digit Music

Technology in Music Education UK (TiME) is delighted to announce that Digit Music has joined the organisation as a Corporate Member. 

Established in 2020, Digit Music are a Derbyshire-based music company that aims to bridge the gap between creativity and music for anyone who wants to play an instrument or make original music. In 2023, they launched ‘CMPSR’ (pronounced composer), an innovative MIDI instrument built with user-friendly gaming hardware that enables users to create music through simple finger gestures. 

CMPSR has a 5-octave range, built-in key/scale/chord engines and smart sustain. It connects to anything that accepts MIDI by USB-C or wirelessly via Bluetooth. CMPSR is hand-built in the UK and offers an accessible design, making playing an instrument instantly accessible and fun for more people.

Designed with a focus on creative simplicity, Digit set out to create a straightforward musical instrument that helps people to make music freely. CMPSR is ideal for DJs who want to make beats, beginners who want a shortcut for production and composition, professionals looking for a different approach to keyboards and pad controllers, and people with access needs.

“Music is part of the cultural landscape, and everyone should have the opportunity to play, so we created CMPSR, a tool designed to make music and creativity accessible to anyone. We are proud to launch this product to market and are excited for the future of both CMPSR and Digit Music.” Si Tew, Digit Music Co-Founder. 

Digit has already made significant inroads to broadening access and inclusion in music-making. We look forward to working with Digit and supporting their engagement with music education through new music technologies such as CMPSR.
