:: It works on my newer machine. Cool! Initial thoughts: Why do you have two lattices side by side? And how would one play beyond one octave? The note names aren't what I would expect. What are ab, ga and bc? Why is 10/9 labeled Db1? For edos 29, 31, etc., have you seen my [[ups and downs notation]]? --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 07:43, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

::: Thank you, Kite. I tested two recent applications, including the one you are talking about, and found that it was my fault: my usual warning on the browser capabilities is lost. I'll put it right, and then the recommendations/requirements to the browser will be exposed to the user.

::: Now, two lattices: this is how I try to play with different ideas of presenting the lattices with more keys in a window, and this one of the things I wanted to discuss with you. My initial idea (ears ago :-) was to overcome the limitation of the rational-number tonal systems in terms of the ability to transpose and play different tonalities in the same piece. The idea was to have the keyboard re-tuned on the fly, depending on a chosen tonality. Of course, the idea itself is questionable. For example, it is not suitable for atonal music. Now I'm returning to the idea in different forms. First of all, this is research. As you may have guessed, more than playing in different octaves, I'm concerned with the more fundamental problem of the possibility of harmonic modulation in such tonal systems.

With two lattices, we have more nicely used room on a page and can experiment with two different tunings at the same time, changing the tunings independently. Or something like that.

:: More thoughts: For your microtonal chromatic keyboard, I would really like to see [[The Kite Guitar]] layout! It's rectangular not triangular, so a QWERTY keyboard input isn't ideal. Also, I don't have anything with a touchscreen. Wondering if a touchscreen would give some control over the volume? Or is it always a single fixed volume? --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 08:50, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

:: All in all, very impressive, thanks so much for sharing all this with me! Good to see that it is all non-commercial and open source! I look forward to collaborating. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 08:54, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
