## What is the Mech Layout?
5757

The name comes from the fact that originally when I discovered it, I didn't yet have an isomorphic controller, so my friends and I used to map it to our mechanical keyboards to play. Because of this, we referred to it as "playing the mech". After getting a LinnStrument and LaunchPad, I've continued using this name for the layout itself. It could also be referred to as the "wholetone layout" or "grid-based Wicki-Hayden" but I still prefer calling it mech.

The more you play it, the more you'll notice it is strangely easier than other instrument layouts to learn and play, making it quite fun. Its relation to the circle of 5ths makes certain music theory concepts easier to visualize and apply as well.
