@nickzoic@aus.social @AceArsenault@fosstodon.org I'm in the thinking and drawing stages of something fairly similar. Probably a Jankó layout as described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jank%C3%B3_keyboard but also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomorphic_keyboard for others. Not so compact because of its redundancy, but allows easy transposition and can be used for microtonality.

@doctroid@vmst.io @nickzoic@aus.social That's awesome! I've seen the Janko layout before. Seems like a cool idea. Once you get into microtonals, you pretty much have to ditch the old standard 12tone keyboard layout all together. I wish I had a layout that could play a Septimal harmonic 7th. I play it on brass and flutes all the time, but have no way of playing it on keyboard.
