Lumatone mapping for 24edo: Difference between revisions

(One intermediate revision by the same user not shown)

Line 11:

The above layout has a potential disadvantage, in that each successive octave is now located substantially lower on the keyboard than the previous one, eventually requiring a jump of hand position where it wraps around to the top again. Inverting the direction of the chroma keeps octaves closer to horizontal, but going down to move pitch upward can seem counterintuitive.

=== Emphasizing Neutral Seconds ===

Another neutral thirds mapping uses a [[6L 3s]] scale (3:2 step ratio) to make [[24edo]] neutral seconds (3\24) more easily accessible, as demonstrated by [[Bryan Deister]] in [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3ZvbKIGBLoY ''24edo groove''] (2026). The range is only four octaves, but the octaves are close enough to level that the layout could be split into two manuals with some keys to spare, although the slight downwards octave slope would make them noticeably lopsided.

=== Compressed ===

[[Bryan Deister]] has used the [[3L 1s]] layout, as demonstrated in [http://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZnAl6EN_wq4 In Your Hands (microtonal 24edo) (alt layout)] (2024). The octaves rise just slightly while moving to higher pitches, and the range is somewhat over eight octaves. Although rotated left from the usual orientation, the notes of a standard diatonic scale (within each ring of fifths) are within easy reach of each other.

[[Bryan Deister]] has used the [[3L 1s]] (7:3 step ratio) layout, as demonstrated in [http://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZnAl6EN_wq4 In Your Hands (microtonal 24edo) (alt layout)] (2024). The octaves rise just slightly while moving to higher pitches, and the range is somewhat over eight octaves.
