      Georgia, check out my color-shape associations with the notes. I designed my own honey-comb keyboard based on this keyboard format (the Terpstra keyboard).

    Fantasmical video as always, Dave!
    3:56 - It’s worth emphasizing that the cent-error numbers in red across the top of this chart are for regular 12TET tuning.

    So, when are you guys going to release a $500 budget version of the Lumatone?
    It's about time the world gets access to an affordable isomorphic alternative to classic keyboards. Maybe partner up with someone who already has a midi controller production line, like Roland, AKAI or NI?

      what features do you think a $500 lumatone would offer? the axis-49 was around $500 and offers far less features than the lumatone, it doesn't even have basic pitch bend or mod wheels, its key action was terrible and scratchy, and not to mention that it only spans two octaves.
      are you sure you want a 2 octave subpar lumatone? i own a lumatone for 53-edo and JI piano playing and its 5 octave range isn't enough for me

      ​@@jard what features? Just an isomorphic midi controller. For $500 you get pretty good midi controllers with decent keys, although all in standard piano layout. The only isomorphic controllers you can get are pads based. The fact that the axis-49 was maybe a bad product without pitch bend means very little. Even sub $200 midi controllers of today all have pitch bend. For $500 you can make a pretty sizeable Lumatone-like midi controller. I also only care about 12-edo, as most western musicians do. No wonder you feel limited with 53-edo on a Lumatone, or any key-based instrument for that matter. Fretless string-based instruments are probably more suited for that.

    Would a DIY kit be feasible and cheaper than the assembled keyboard? I'd like to buy one, but it's a... _tiny_ bit out of my price range.

      Same here. I'd happily build my own if it was possible to make it compatible on the software side somehow. (Eg, maybe we could buy the controller PCBs for a DIY device?)

    Can this control hardware controllers, either through MIDI channel round robin, or straight MPE? Or will it always have to interface through a computer?

    Question: OK, without wanting to diminish it unfairly, I guess, underneath that lovely surface, it's "just" a midi controller, right?
    So, that leads to the next question: As a potential customer I am convinced there isn't any real magic going on here except for the functional utility of the isomorphic layout and the potential to map the keys to tones. OK?
    Great so..... that means magic isn't going to flow out of it without necessary retraining on the keyboard and - the hard part - an understanding of the tone system you choose.
    All that might produce some interesting results but....
    What about the sound stage which these videos don't cover. If it is a load of buttons and dials but not a tone-producing device itself then you must have it connected to something that is a tone-producing device, right? So..... what?
    I love the sound of the patch you are using here and I want to know how you did it? Is it software which outputs to a specialist sound card or something? Ignoring how the controller looks and works.... what are you using to get that lovely old classic keyboard (vibrapone?) sound?

    • @jard
      @jard 5 месяцев назад +1

      usually the lumatone is paired with a synthesizer or sampler that can support its microtonal tuning. the audio in the video is direct from pianoteq 7 pro, the patch being the MK1 soft rhodes piano from the electric pianos pack (which is included with the pro version, which you need to purchase anyways for microtonal tuning)

    Why include the creepy assertion that "nature" intended for the harmonic series to be "in tune". Logically it's a category error fallacy, you're anthropomorphising a concept and attributing it with human traits. Really jarring & inappropriate inclusion to a video that could be free of perverse ideology.

      what an insane overreaction to a completely benign comment, maybe that's just his personal opinion, to call it perverse is ridiculous. It's an idea and maybe a personal belief, he never demanded you subscribe to that belief along with him. It also came off more as a joke so this is some reddit tier behavior to take such a minor, off-handed comment with such seriousness.
