| -Wholetone layout system and visualizer for the Linnstrument, Launchpad X, and computer keyboard. I consider this to be one of the most accessible and playable musical note layouts, and once you learn how it works, you'll realize why I've made it my primary layout. |

| 9 | +This program maps the LinnStrument, LaunchPad X, and your computer keyboard to use an isomorphic wholetone layout that I discovered years ago. I was surprised to find out this layout and its variants were not in common usage, despite being incredibly easy to play. This project intends to bring it to more people. |

| 23 | +## Important Notes |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +So far, this has only been tested on the LinnStrument 128 version. If you own the 200-note version, it's harder to set up, but please feel free to test it and me know how this works for you. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +This program is *experimental*, so some things will be buggy and tricky to get working. Let me know if you run into any issues and follow the directions carefully. If the wrong notes are playing, there's probably something wrong with the way you've set up the linnstrument during the instructions. If a device persists in a different state after ending the program (such as if a crash occurs), simply reconnect it. The LinnStrument also has a reset feature you may find useful. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +And since this is experimental, please use it at your own risk and prepare to do basic troubleshooting to get it working. |

22 | 31 | ## Setup
|
23 | 32 |
|
24 | 33 | - First create a midi loopback device. You can do this easily with LoopMidi on Windows or using "Audio MIDI Setup / MIDI Studio" on Mac. Then set your DAW to use this device instead of the linnstrument. Make sure the virtual device you set up has "loopmidi" in its device name, since this is how its detected by the program.
