History

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.

7-limit Colour Notation (WIP)

Based on Kite's colour notation with multiple modifications:

1. Six equidistant colours (primary and secondary) derived from the RYB colour model (6EDCM?), while reusing white for 3-limit.
2. Split into "cold" and "hot" colours:
   • Cold: Purple, Blue, and Green
   • Hot: Yellow, Orange, and Red
3. Cold colours are allocated towards "minor/flat" generators (6/5, 7/5, 7/4) while hot colours are allocated towards "major/sharp" generators (5/4, 8/7, and 10/7).
   • All opposing generators are assigned opposing colours.
4. Since 7/5 and 10/7 are combinations of other generators within the same group, assign the middle colour of each colour group to them as well:
   • 7/5 receives blue.
   • 10/7 receives orange.
5. Reuse Kite's colour notation work by keeping 5/4's colour assignment to yellow, therefore assigning the colour purple to 8/5.
6. Reuse Kite's colour notation work by keeping 8/7 colour assignment to red, therefore assigning the colour green to 7/4.

For colourspeak, strictly use the first letter of each colour from the English language while appending "o" or "u" as a suffix depending on the generator, leading to this conversion:

1. Wa = Wa (no conversion)
2. Ru = Ru (no conversion)
3. Yo = Yo (no conversion)
4. Ruyo = Ou
5. Zo = Go
6. Gu = Pu
7. Zogu = Bo
