Full-41 layout: added a new pic with double the keys
Line 47: Line 47:
The obvious full-41 layout has keys one edostep apart adjacent to each other, forming a column. The top of one column "jumps" to the bottom of the next column. It's like the [https://hpi.zentral.zone/tonalplexus Tonal Plexus] layout, but omitting 80% of the keys to reduce 205-edo to 41-edo. This picture shows 2 octaves, with the white keys running C to C. Each white key has a sharp (upper right) and a flat (lower left).

To avoid awkward reaches when playing near the upper or lower edge of the keyboard, some duplication of pitches might be desirable, analogous to a button accordion having 5 rows of buttons but only 3 rows of keys.

Various hexagonal Lumatone layouts are a possibility too.
