I&#39;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. #music #instruments #electronics #wip

@AceArsenault@fosstodon.org Perfect for playing during the seventh inning stretch on a bus!

@AceArsenault@fosstodon.org That song sounds great, and you make it look easy to play. Did you model this after the Linnstrument?

@AceArsenault@fosstodon.org perhaps worth looking at concertina and accordion keyboard layouts too?

@AceArsenault@fosstodon.org Great project. Kinda reminds me of a Harpejji because of the 2D layout of the keys.

@AceArsenault@fosstodon.org Neat, looks a little like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_button_accordion

@AceArsenault@fosstodon.org you need frosted keycaps with LEDs. That way you can change the configuration/scale.
