Talk:Lumatone mapping for 12edo

Some things worth noting when comparing the Lumatone layouts for 12EDO

The Meantone/Pythagorean layout for 12EDO repeats the gamut enough times to enable the use of 4 manuals of just under 5 octaves each, while leaving some extra keys available both above and below to use for other purposes.

The Harmonic Table layout for 12EDO gives up the multi-manual option (because octaves are no longer horizontal), but in exchange, it provides a range of over 10 octaves, while still having some notes repeated vertically to avoid the need for awkward finger stretches for intervals that would otherwise wrap around vertically.
