Cam’s DR94 Bosanquet and Multi-ring mappings for the Lumatone

These are some of the many custom mappings I have saved and played around with on the Lumatone. These ones are all mapped with naturals from A1-G6 along either the central row starting from the third (middle) rank, or from the 4th rank below, allowing at least one rank of keys below the naturals. Laying out the mapping from there means the sets of 12 at the bottom fit the keyboard’s geometry nicely. I’ve found that having keys down to A1 or so much handier than having to stop around C2, where I made the default mappings for the Lumatone.

The mappings in this library all use the “DR94” colour system I’ve laid out in Facebook posts and YouTube videos since May 2021. 7 colours in light and dark, laid out in (reverse) rainbow order, with white “naturals” and black “semi-tone” accidentals splitting the rainbow into cooler colours for lower pitches and warmer colours for higher pitches. Colours are mapped from the closest pitch of 94-equal, one of the most accurate and consistent high-limit equal tunings under 300.

Dark: violet – indigo – blue – green – black – yellow – orange – red
Light: violet – indigo – blue – green – white – yellow – orange – red

Contains mappings for:
3 rings of 19-equal (57 tone mapping minus one pitch) for adaptive JI. Tuning each ring 1/3-comma apart gives a pretty huge lattice.
26-equal
31-equal
3 rings of 12-equal (36-equal)
43-equal
4 rings of 12-equal (48-equal)
53-equal
53-out-of-94-equal
55-equal
2 rings of 29-equal (58-equal)
6 rings of 12-equal (72-equal minus 14 pitches)

I will also upload my much larger library of DR94 mappings starting from C in a separate “patch”.

    Hi Cam!

    I have a Lumatone and I absolutely struggle with it. :) I’m not a weird tunings guy, or a synth guy. I play the Ableton Push 2 as my main controller and I would like to map some of the simple, iso tunings Ableton made to the LT (like c maj in all fourths, three note groupings). I have tried to do this on my own, as simple as it seems, but I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. The company hasn’t been any help with this aspect of my experience (they don’t seem to have any tunings available outside the handful that it ships with.. and none of those sound musical to me). Do you have any simple iso tunings like the Ableton ones, by chance?

    I create orchestral music with the Push 2 (https://youtu.be/IxOe-tEYDPM), so I was hoping to use the LT to expand on that, but the keys feel kind of cheap and weird (I prefer pads), and the hex shape sends the patterns off in an angle (would have much preferred a simple grid and pads instead of keys).
