There are many conceivable ways to map 40edo onto the onto the Lumatone keyboard. Only one, however, agrees with the Standard Lumatone mapping for Pythagorean.
Diatonic
Blackwood
Compressed, forward chroma
If you want a wider range, the blackwood mapping is the most efficient as long as you don't mind the sharp fifth being easier to play than the flat one.
Expanded, reverse chroma
If 40edo is mapped for blackwood with a reverse chroma, the range is much less than in the forward-chroma version (at 4¼ octaves), but the flat (patent) fifth ~3/2 (23\40) is much easier to reach (by moving three keys right plus one key down-right from the root note). The slightly sharp classic major third ~5/4 (13\40) is even easier to reach, at one key right plus one key down-right from the root note (this is the same as in the forward chroma version). Bryan Deister has used this mapping in 40edo improv (2026).
