Lumatone mapping for 46edo: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

There are many conceivable ways to map [[46edo]] onto the [[Lumatone]] keyboard. Only one, however, agrees with the [[Standard Lumatone mapping for Pythagorean]].

Unfortunately ~~this~~ makes basic 5-limit minor and major ~~chords~~ quite complex ~~using the [[leapday]] scale, requiring~~ awkward ~~stretches~~ to play, ~~since 46edo is not meantone~~. The [[~~rodan~~]] mapping is probably more intuitive ~~and has a wider range~~, but has the disadvantage of skipping a chroma on some of the transitions between columns, making it impossible to play the full gamut of each octave, and each octave is substantially higher up on the keyboard.

Unfortunately the [[Leapday]] diatonic scale is not meantone, and makes basic 5-limit minor and major interval quite complex and often awkward to play. (For example, reaching 5/4 using only sharps and flats would require a triply-augmented unison, such as C–C𝄪♯ or C to C triple sharp). The [[Rodan]] mapping has a slightly wider range and is probably more intuitive, but has the disadvantage of skipping a chroma on some of the transitions between columns, making it impossible to play the full gamut of each octave, and each octave is substantially higher up on the keyboard.

The [[~~amity~~]] mapping is a good compromise between them, since it provides an even heptatonic scale, making the full gamut playable, puts 5-limit minor and major chords within easy reach, and has the chroma going in the correct direction.

The [[Amity]] mapping is a good compromise between them, since it provides an even heptatonic scale, making the full gamut playable, puts 5-limit minor and major chords within easy reach, and has the chroma going in the correct direction.
