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.

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. I used to map this layout to my mechanical keyboard and just play it like that. Because of this, my friends and I referred to it as playing the "mech", but

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.

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.
