There are many conceivable ways to map [[14edo]] onto the onto the Lumatone keyboard. However, it has no generators that create a diatonic or antidiatonic scale that covers the whole gamut, so the [[Standard Lumatone mapping ~~for Pythagorean]] is not one of them. Due to its composite nature, only~~ two generators work at all to produce single period mos scales.

== Whitewood ==

The closest thing to a diatonic scale is the whitewood mapping, which puts the naturals in a straight line and the second unconnected circle of fifths above and below.

[[Bryan Deister]] demonstrates this mapping in [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7rIthSC8zfY ''<nowiki>Casting Shadows On My Mantle - 14edo [short]</nowiki>''] (2026).

== Beep ==

In terms of approximating simple consonant intervals and giving them comfortable fingerings, the [[~~beep~~]] mapping is the most efficient, although they still sound quite dissonant compared to 12edo.

== Smate ==

The [[smate]] mapping is most effective if you want to maximise range, although you should still probably expand it from [[1L 1s]] to [[2L 1s]] to make chords easier to ~~finger~~, as 11 octaves is still beyond the range of human hearing.
