overall approach

There are several ways to map [[porcupine]] temperament onto the [[Lumatone]] keyboard. This article uses the Porcupine[7] notation convention from [[Porcupine Notation]].
The mappings pictured below are based on mapping consecutive porcupine generator steps (~160 cents) to adjacent keys going generally left-to-right across the keyboard.
A completely different approach to playing porcupine music on the Lumatone would be to use a standard mapping for some porcupine EDO (e.g. the [[Lumatone mapping for 22edo]]) and learn the shapes of porcupine scales in that layout. For example in 22edo, porcupine steps go roughly vertically rather than roughly horizontally, thus requiring a lot of "wrapping around". But if you just learn the shape of a "porcupine tetrachord" that could be a fruitful approach.
