808-Boom has been affected by the severe congestion of cargo
ships being held up at the Los Angeles Port causing heavy
backups of containers waiting to unload.
The new expected fulfillment date is projected to be
late April/early May.
We received confirmation that the ship carrying TKC’s
container arrived at the port as of 3/15. Due to the
congestion at the Los Angeles Port, the assigned date for
our container to be loaded onto a rail transport is
scheduled for 3/28. Please note, this date may be subject to
change from the carrier.
Once the container is loaded
onto a train and in transit, it takes approximately 15 days
to reach the fulfillment center. TKC will email all group
buy customers for address and/or order changes after the
fulfillment team has received, unpacked, and processed all
items from the container.
Please do not hesitate to
reach out if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Thank you for your patience and I appreciate your
understanding during this unprecedented time!
I wanted
to share with everyone here that the payment towards the
charity has been processed. TheKey.Company was exceedingly
generous and rounded their donation up more than $500
additional dollar to make it a full $7000 that went to
Children’s Music Fund
- We are currently working with the charity to get a receipt
of payment so we can share that with you and TKC is writing
up a full blog post about the whole thing.
From the
president of CMF, Ronda Grech:
“What a remarkable
response to your custom design! Congratulations!! Your fans
where so kind with providing their support too. We saw
incredible traffic to our website on the promotion weekend
and an increase in social followers.
On behalf of our
board, volunteers, therapists, and most importantly, the
amazing children we help, thank you for making a difference
in their lives. Your generosity will provide 140 Music
Therapy sessions to children in need. Please stay in touch.
You will always be a part of our CMF Family.”
Thank you
to all who joined and supported the CMF in other ways. Big

Welcome to the Group Buy thread for Infinikey 808-Boom!
This buy is LIVE through August 14th.
There will be a
Bass kit giveaway on 8/08! Please follow
TheKey.Company,
C.Y.O. Keycaps, and/or
Langelandia
for details.
TTYlerdurden of C.Y.O Keycaps, Thatcliff, and I have
teamed up to bring yall a keyset inspired by one of the most
iconic devices in music production and beat making.
The
device is a drum machine that was manufactured in the early
1980s and has continued to influence drum beats for decades.
It was one of the first to allow producers to program beats
instead of having to choose from preset sounds and patterns.
It was discontinued from production after only 12,000 units
were made. Between the difficulty of stocking the
semiconductors used, and analog synthesis sounds being ahead
of their time (pre-electronic/hip-hop), the machine was
eventually replaced by a later model.
The device
features some of the most recognizable percussion sounds in
music history and has been used on more hit records (either
originally, or through track sampling) than any other drum
machine. The booming bass lines, crisp snare, classic
cymbals, and renowned congas, cowbells, and handclaps are
what make this machine’s sounds so celebrated and
sampled.
We are proud to say that we are partnering
with
Childrens Music Fund. They are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to bringing
music therapy into the lives of sick children to help
overcome pain, fear, and anxiety. We are donating 100% of
designer profit. TheKey.Company is also adding to this
amount so that each Bass Kit sale will give $10 directly to
the Children’s Music Fund, and a portion of the sales from
every additional item sold will directly contribute to the
Fund.
We set out to produce a set that we were
passionate about, as well as use the power of design for a
greater good. We spent a lot of time considering how to
support 40s folks, as well as Alice layout users, and boards
of all sizes. We strived to design this set in such a way
that it remains visually consistent throughout almost any
keyboard layout, yet also offers users a range of options.
We appreciate your feedback and insights, and look forward
to your support in the future as we look to take this set
through group buy.
A FUN NOTE
Initially, I had begun development with my brother on
a similar set several months back; however, we hit a wall
and let it sit to try and figure out how to execute it well.
Recently, C.Y.O sent me a mockup of the set he was
designing. We learned that we had been working on the same
concept completely independently of one another! It was at
that moment, we knew we had to team up. Its funny how life
works, eh?
