~~There are many conceivable ways to map [[60edo]] onto the [[Lumatone]] keyboard. Unfortunately, as it has multiple rings of 5ths, the [[Standard~~ Lumatone mapping ~~for Pythagorean]] is not one of them. Since it is [[Highly_composite_equal_division|highly composite]], many other mappings will also fail~~ to ~~cover~~ the ~~entire gamut~~, ~~and~~ even those that do will have limited range~~. For example, [[magic]] needs to be expanded to the [[3L 13s]] mos, at which point it only has a range of three and a half octaves~~.

{{Lumatone mapping intro}} Due to the very large number of notes, even those that do will have limited range.

== Magic ==

For example, the [[magic]] mapping needs to be expanded to the [[3L 13s]] mos, at which point it only has a range of three and a half octaves. [[Bryan Deister]] demonstrates this mapping in [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nlKHUDCR3pI ''60edo improv''] (2025), although with the first note 0 in the upper left corner instead of most of the way down to the lower left.

The [[3L 10s]] mapping is still playable and covers 5 octaves, but skips a number of chromas along the way, and this escalates with more compressed mappings.

The [[3L 10s]] mapping is still playable and covers 5 octaves, but skips a number of chromas along the way, and this escalates with more compressed mappings.

The [[~~amity~~]] ~~mapping~~ also suffers from chroma skips between most columns unless expanded outwards from the [[4L 3s]] mapping to the [[7L 4s]] one, which also makes octaves further apart vertically.

== Amity ==

The [[Lumatone mapping for Amity]] also suffers from chroma skips between most columns unless expanded outwards from the [[4L 3s]] mapping to the [[7L 4s]] one, which also makes octaves further apart vertically.

Other possible mappings include [[bleu]]

== Other mappings ==

Other possible mappings include [[bleu]] and [[tritonic]], but it is the [[fifive]] mapping that produces an octotonic scale which maximises range while providing access to all the notes and makes it easiest to play simple ratios together.
