@doctroid @nickzoic That's awesome!
I've seen the Janko layout before. Seems like a cool idea.
Once you get into microtonals, you pretty much have to ditch the old standard 12tone keyboard layout all together.
I wish I had a layout that could play a Septimal harmonic 7th. I play it on brass and flutes all the time, but have no way of playing it on keyboard.
@nickzoic I've never played an button accordion, But they do look neat. : }
I play bass, so making a theoretical "12 string bass" layout was the most logical step for my brain.
@Qxkw Yeah. it's a bit like the Harpejji. Just half steps are side to side instead of up and down.
This is like a bass guitar with many strings. : }
@alter_kaker I've actually never played a button accordion before, They look like fun. : }
It's also fun to wrap your brain around. Playing bass guitar helps a LOT!
@retech That's actually a pretty cool idea. : }
I know they make keyboard stands to hold more the one keyboard as well. Those are normally on top of eachother.
I always liked the offset staggered layout of electric organs.
@retech : }
I honestly felt really cool playing the freaky fusion jazz.
Glad you like the keyboard design! : }
@matthewconroy It is portable. : }
Packs a lot of notes in a small space. Also the key widths are 1" so it's standard piano sized keys. Just in two dimensions.
@elsemusic Thank you! : }
I wanted something more compact to sit beside my other gear, but didn't want to go with those smaller 3/4th sized keys.
This gets the entire keyboard in a width of only 12" inches. as compared to 40" inches for a 61 key or 54" inches for 88 keys!
I've been working on a prototype for an instrument that fits an entire keyboard in a compact space.
This is tuned in 4ths like a bass guitar, if only it had 12 strings and a really wide neck.
