Stage mode. One switch, and the world goes quiet.

Flip into stage mode and Takt One stops being a tablet. No notifications, no system prompts, no accidental swipes to somewhere else. The screen stays awake, the brightness stays put, and the only thing that can move is the page.

Beyond the stand

A musician's tablet, and a tablet for everything else.

When the setlist is closed, Takt One is designed to work like a normal Linux-based tablet. Browse, read, watch and stay productive in a familiar way, all from the same device.

Everyday tablet

Use it like any tablet.

Browse, read, watch and stay productive without leaving the device you already carry.

One device

One device for two worlds.

Keep your music workflow focused, then switch to everyday use without changing devices.

Linux-based

More than a music reader.

A general-purpose Linux-based tablet alongside your dedicated musician experience.

Everyday app support is planned and depends on the final operating system.

Outreach mission

Save the trees. Save your back. Stay fit for the performance.

Takt One is designed to reduce the weight of paper scores and support the materials that make music possible. We want every device sold to help protect the trees that give us sound.

Conservation commitment

We plan to contribute $2 from every Takt One sold to the conservation of pernambuco and rare tonewoods.
