There are many conceivable ways to map [[53edo]] onto the [[Lumatone]] keyboard. Only one, however, agrees with the [[Standard Lumatone mapping for Pythagorean]]. This is also "Preset 9 — 53-ET Bosanquet" in the official Lumatone manual.

Since 53edo is a [[schismatic]] tuning, the best approximation to the 5th harmonic is the diminished 4th. The [[Kleismic]] mapping makes playing familiar 5-limit chords easier, but does not quite span the full gamut unless expanded from [[4L 3s]] to [[4L 7s]], which puts octaves all over the place.

The expanded [[4L 7s]] mapping fixed this problem and covers the entire gamut, but puts octaves all over the place.

For easy access to single step movements and both the third & seventh harmonics, the [[buzzard]] mapping is quite effective.
