I'm quite tempted but thought I'd ask if anyone has tried one.
The reviews seem to go for Apple (iOS) software, but the blurb
implies that it is just a midi device, so it should be usable
on Linux.
Any opinions?
It is both midi and audio device, but does seem to be able to work out
of the box with macos according to this page:
http://artiphon.com/quickstart-for-mac-pc/
and this page:
http://artiphon.com/technical-specifications/
which has the magic words "USB 1.0 Audio Class Compliant" and "USB
MIDI Class Compliant" it also says "USB 2.0" meaning there is some
extra functionallity Linux may not be able to see/use.
However, "The Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1 Editor" would not be available for
Linux. So setting different tuning (5ths, 4ths and it looks like
range) may not be possible. Even settings like multichannel or single
seems to assume an editor is used.
Assuming it holds it's settings without power or you don't let the
battery die, it may be possible to set it up in a generic enough
fashion that a good midi filter may be able to give almost complete
control. See:

I've emailed them and asked if there is enough information to enable me
to cobble together
a crude editor for Linux. If the answer is positive, I'll probably buy
one.....
