Self-taught musician of over 20 intermittent years. Mostly learned video game music repertoire by ear during childhood with the Halberstadt layout using the Yamaha PSR-273, then started improvising and creating medleys during adulthood alongside learning jazz theory while still retaining usage of the Yamaha PSR series (up until the PSR-EW425). Increasingly grew frustrated by the Halberstadt layout due to the onerous task of learning multiple fingerings for the same chord and/or scale, so I started searching for isomorphic solutions and encountered the LinnStrument (200) from Roger Linn Design on the Xenharmonic Wiki's Keyboard page, which I acquired during the pandemic. Invested about 5 years intensely learning it, but the skill ceiling for proficient polyphonic interplay became an exponentially insurmountable challenge, so I continued my isomorphic layout search until I learned about the Seven Limit Mosaichord from Desiderata Systems in the Kite Guitar community (on Matrix), which I acquired during 2025. The Voronoi layout it uses recycled my isomorphic experience from the LinnStrument, so my hand finger shapes became a natural focal transition point, and I eventually decided to fully commit to learning the Mosaichord instead.
