:::::::::::: Okay, this is fine by me. This is why I was asking: when I start to develop another instrument application, would it be more appropriate to call it something like "Aura Microtonal Diatonic Keyboard" (or based on your real name), or it has to be something else? Please advise. Note that this is open-source development, so, for example, the file names appear to all the public at a very early stage of the development. — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], 22:23, 25 November 2020 (UTC) | :::::::::::: Okay, this is fine by me.

::::::::::::: To be frank, it would be better for the instrument name to not reference me, as I don't want to accidentally claim credit for something that's not completely original. Given the selection of pitches we want for this keyboard (which I mention below), we probably need to come up with a name for this keyboard based on the properties of those intervals- something like "Connectivity Microtonal Keyboard" would suffice, since we want more than just the diatonic scales. | |||
:::::::::: But first of all, I am interested to know if you agree with my statement that you can mix fragments with different scales in one music piece? Sorry in this concern looks either too trivial to you, or not clear. | :::::::::: But first of all, I am interested to know if you agree with my statement that you can mix fragments with different scales in one music piece?

:::::::::::: Okay, this is quite enough for me for now, and sorry if I failed to figure the answer before. Here is my idea: I'm thinking about solving the more difficult problem of playing the instrument, yes, of a multi-tonal piece right at the level of the instrument. Instead of tune-on-the-fly, I could implement a light weight version of it more feasible for the performer. Let's say, for simplicity, you are preparing to play a piece with the harmonic modulations using only two tonalities. Then you use two keyboard rows, one implementing one of your scales, another — another one, and you can also transpose one or both of them to your convenience. At the moment of the modulation, the performer simply shifts fingering to another row. Think of it as a multi-manual organ, only with individual tuning on each manual... In this simple case, you don't switch anything during the performance, you adjust something ''before'' you play. What would you say about this idea? — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], 22:14, 25 November 2020 (UTC) | :::::::::::: Okay, this is quite enough for me for now, and sorry if I failed to figure the answer before.

::::::::::::: It's a start, but this would only be fitting when you're changing Tonics, after all, B Dorian and B Locrian use the same Tonic, which is B-Natural. Since this is the case, we could have each octave of each keyboard have access to pitches relating to the Tonic by the following intervals: 1/1, 33/32, 256/243, 16/15, 35/32, 9/8, 8/7, 64/55, 32/27, 77/64, 39/32, 16/13, 5/4, 81/64, 128/99, 4/3, 11/8, 45/32, 64/45, 16/11, 3/2, 99/64, 128/81, 8/5, 13/8, 64/39, 128/77, 27/16, 55/32, 7/4, 16/9, 64/35, 15/8, 243/128, 64/33, and finally, 2/1. This is perhaps the best pitch selection I can think of for the kinds of things I would try. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 22:53, 25 November 2020 (UTC) | |||
