Lumatone mapping for 36edo: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

There are many conceivable ways to map [[36edo]] onto the [[Lumatone]] keyboard. Unfortunately, as it has multiple rings of 5ths, the [[Standard Lumatone mapping for Pythagorean]] is not one of them. Since it is [[Highly_composite_equal_division|highly composite]], many other mappings will also fail to cover the entire gamut, including both the second and third best alternative 5ths. If you want an evenly distributed heptatonic scale that gives easy access to the perfect ~~5th~~, you instead need to use the [[squirrel]] mapping.

The [[Liese]] mapping also provides a heptatonic scale which reaches the ~~5th~~ in three steps, but is very lopsided.

The [[Liese]] mapping also provides a heptatonic scale which reaches the fifth in three steps, and keeps octaves horizontal, but is very lopsided.

Line 11:

Reversing the direction of the chroma makes the diatonic scale easier to play, but ~~puts~~ octaves all over the place.

Reversing the direction of the chroma makes the diatonic scale easier to play, but makes fingerings for many chords somewhat awkward while putting octaves all over the place.
