Lumatone mapping for 46edo: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

Unfortunately, basic 5-limit chords are quite complex using the [[leapday]] scale, requiring awkward stretches to play. 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.

Line 9:

The expanded mapping fixes this, but now the chroma goes diagonally down, requiring an adjustment of playing style when doing chromatic runs.

The [[amity]] mapping is a good compromise between them, providing an even heptatonic scale while making the full gamut playable, with the chroma going in the correct direction.
