Great video. I have two ideas for the hexboard. Maybe its possible to add this in the future. The first one ist an Arpeggiator. And the second one: An custom Scale Editor for the different Tunings. At the moment, I explore the 31 EDO tuning. And made an Cheat sheet for scales and scales ideas for that tuning. Would be very cool when it is possible to make that. Thank you so much for this great piece of equipment
Good thoughts. I hadn’t considered an arpeggiator before as I just do stuff in software where that’s easy, but it makes more sense now that I have the TRS MIDI jack.
I wish it was modular so that i could put two or more together to make a bigger keyboard. That way I could use the Janko/Bosanquet-Wilson layout more effectively.
@@ShapingTheSilenceThank you very much for the consideration. Btw, I think what you're doing is awesome. You've made a Lumatone-style keyboard more accessible to people than anyone else right now. The only other the time I've seen such a thing being done was during the early 2000's when DIY tutorials were made for how to make your own Jammer (a microtonal instrument made by Thumtronics which is very similar to another instrument they made called the Thummer).
I am curious about how to add a new tuning onto the device. Is it possible to add a new scale into the firmware? Along with this, is it possible to add custom light layouts? And what are limits on colours available, are there more than 12 colours to choose from? Thanks for creating such an awesome piece of hardware, open sauce too? Very cool project!
Yes, you can add your own scale by defining the playable notes in an octave or tuning by setting the precise cents interval between keys. We are working on a more robust tuning system that will allow beyond equally spaced tunings. You can also make your own light layouts. All this you’ll need to edit the firmware for currently. The number of colors available is somewhat dependent on the brightness selected. Each LED can be set between 0-255 for each color channel (R, G, B). At the lowest brightness setting, you have less color resolution to work with, but there is still plenty more than 12! The firmware is all open-source, so you can take a look into how it works. I may have forgotten to link the source under this video, but you can find it under my other HexBoard videos.

I’m considering it. It will require redesigning the circuit board which is a bit tedious. I don’t have time for it right now, though.

@Xen-p6p thank you. That’s really encouraging to hear. ❤️
