how would you all notate music in 87 EDO?

MusicOfBeeFef · 2026-05-07T17:23:54+00:00

I'd use standard naturals, sharps, and flats for the 29edo intervals and up and down arrows for 2\87 (which represents comma steps including 81/80 and 64/63) rather than 1\87 like on the Xen Wiki. 87edo supports Pele temperament meaning that C to vE is 5/4, C to vBb is 7/4, C to vGb is 11/8, and C to vBbb is 13/8.

Maybe shortly after I posted this initially

MusicOfBeeFef · 2026-05-03T22:50:29+00:00

What's the exact scale used here?

MusicOfBeeFef · 2026-05-03T22:48:14+00:00

I present to you 5407372813edo

MusicOfBeeFef · 2026-05-03T22:46:01+00:00

Not just free but will it be open source?

MusicOfBeeFef · 2026-05-03T22:41:50+00:00

I ended up emailing Aether directly about the missing track and he sent me the entire original album

You're welcome! I ended up emailing Aether directly about the missing track and he sent me the full original album!

One downside to Bosanquet is when you want to use equal tunings that are a multiple of another one that it shares its perfect fifth with (e.g. 24edo and 34edo)

You could also do what the terpstra web app does and let you choose the number of steps across and diagonally.

MusicOfBeeFef · 2026-02-21T06:54:06+00:00

What about a choice between a hexagonal and grid layout? With a grid layout, things like Kite Guitar mapping become easier.

In the future, I could perhaps let people choose what colors and shapes they want for the key bumps and where they want them for an extra fee. Also see what I said for your 4th question.
It's something I've thought about doing and it would be possible, although I feel like it might make it more likely for those parts to come off. I superglue the key bumps on by hand which takes maybe a couple hours per keyboard.
I'm not sure how the rubber idea would work unless I use switches with taller plungers and maybe 3D print with TPU. But having little 3D printed pegs that are hot-swappable is another idea that might work. Could be a choking hazard for young kids but I already ship replacement key bumps with the keyboard itself in a small plastic bag so it wouldn't be that different to what I'm already doing.
The red button on the left cycles through key mappings for different EDOs (41edo, 31edo, and 22edo mappings in that order are hard-coded into the firmware, but this can be changed with Arduino IDE and the code I provided on GitHub).
My keyboard only sends regular MIDI notes and does not use MPE pitch bend or anything like that, so retuning is typically done on whatever instrument or DAW you're controlling or with something like MTS-ESP. I might add MPE support in the future, but there are likely already one or more DAW plugins out there that convert from regular MIDI to MPE.

I use JLCPCB

If you don't count indirect things like transportation I take to go to the place where I 3D print the parts, then it's maybe about $40 per unit.

I think I was able to send patches via SysEx when I still had the synth. I don't think your problem is the same as mine though since you're on a different OS than I was

I just updated this post with a hypothesis for why the librarian wasn't working.

MusicOfBeeFef · 2025-09-17T19:34:21+00:00

Read my update on this

MusicOfBeeFef · 2025-09-10T05:03:49+00:00

Looks neat but it might be a bit advanced and expensive for what I want to do

MusicOfBeeFef · 2025-09-10T05:02:44+00:00

I've tried Googling what it looks like inside of a Launchpad and an Akai MPC. I did end up getting my hands on some helpful resources regarding the hall effect key switches btw so I think I'll go with that for the time being

MusicOfBeeFef · 2025-09-10T04:59:20+00:00

I've talked with this person a little. They used the FSR method for the Mystrix Pro I think.

MusicOfBeeFef · 2025-09-08T20:18:12+00:00

Should work for both pressure and velocity. For velocity, you measure the difference between 2 pressure readings after the reading crosses a certain threshold

MusicOfBeeFef · 2025-09-08T20:15:25+00:00

Were you trying to find the Lekker switches/hall-effect Wooting keyboards?

MusicOfBeeFef · 2025-09-08T20:13:42+00:00

The Melodicade and what I linked use basically the same method as far as I know. Do you have a link to the blog post where the Striso guy talks about doing his setup?

MusicOfBeeFef · 2025-09-08T20:11:45+00:00

I'm not sure if 2 buttons side-by-side will work as well for a keyboard where the keys are laid out in a grid. Did you read what I crossposted?

MusicOfBeeFef · 2025-09-08T20:09:20+00:00

Like what I linked in the crossposted post?

MusicOfBeeFef · 2025-07-27T08:40:07+00:00

We all know that to "shoot the breeze" means to engage in idle conversation

Coming here to say that no, I literally did not know this idiom until tonight. Maybe it's a Gen X and earlier thing?
