Editions & configurations

2 complete-configuration records

Distinguish the titanium launch configuration from the Beijing Crane zirconium shell, then read the separately available collaborative panels; panel counts do not add to complete-product counts.

Names identify documented complete configurations. Material differences and browse groups do not establish official sub-series; components and included items are listed separately.

Table dates refer to the documentation, not necessarily the release. Confirmed release and quantity information appears in each record.

01

How it plays: push the button for tones

The launch MELODY triggers its internal tone device by pushing the top button. The maker describes a sound with every push and changing tones, explicitly distinguishing it from spring-and-bead tuning. Brass forms the mechanical track and steel forms the button. Magnetic attachment is documented for the side panels and does not change the registry’s mechanical classification.

Hold the launch slider

Shows the documented manual push only; travel, note sequence, volume and internal proportions are not measured. Internal edition specifications are not inherited.

  1. Hold the launch slider
  2. Push the top button by hand
  3. Continue pushing by hand to trigger sound
02

Titanium launch and Crane edition

The launch combination identifies its parts: titanium body, brass track, steel button and titanium-and-brass panels in two artwork orientations. The Beijing Crane edition specifies a zirconium-alloy shell and an announced count of 99. Its track material, weight and treatment are not listed in that edition announcement. Compare the confirmed shell and artwork changes without automatically transferring every launch internal detail.

03

Body panels and separate collaborative parts

Magnetic panels on both sides are part of the launch construction described by the maker. A side opening accepts 3 mm cord, but the source does not state that cord is included. The August Chaohua Xishi collaboration announces panels: 18 Rock Cat and 2 Cassette designs, 20 in total. They sit apart from complete sliders. Read exact accessory compatibility and package contents separately, and keep panel counts out of complete-product edition figures.

Choosing: sound and appearance

For mechanical tone feedback, start with the launch button and documented material roles. For Crane artwork and a zirconium shell, read the Beijing edition. To change appearance, explore magnetic panels and collaborative illustrations without assuming an artwork change alters the mechanism. Dimensions, weight and surface treatment are unconfirmed for both configurations, so they do not support a calculated handling advantage.
