In the video, within the first 10 seconds, I should understand the offering of the product by seeing it.

You can get into the details later but right now I've got no idea what's going on here and don't know why I should invest my time in it.

You need to motivate people by showing off the thing.

Also on the phone it just says basically "go away". Once again, show me some video, song, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, something that would motivate me to switch to a desktop.

Apologies for the long video! I didn't want to rush too much as it's supposed to serve as a tutorial.

CLAVIER-36 is a musical instrument, so it will necessarily take some time to master it.

You can jump to 7:14 in the video - https://youtu.be/rIpQmJVMjCA?feature=shared&t=434 - to hear and see how it works. It's a grid based instrument, where you place "operators", or functions on the grid.

That's the 10 second version. The longer version will require a bit of a time investment unfortunately. But it's quite interesting once/if you get into it and start making patches.

@rwhaling posted one of his compositions: https://www.instagram.com/p/DOUUIfeEQWY/ hopefully that's more what you were looking for?

Also, if you click OP's link - https://clavier36.com/p/LtZDdcRP3haTWHErgvdM - you should be brought to an example patch. Is that working for you? Unfortunately, a mobile version is not available right now (it would be tricky to port it, without having to dramatically rethink the UI).

Cheers
