While the presets that come with your Lumatone are a great way to explore your new instrument, real magic can happen when you start creating and editing your own mappings. There are thousands of potential instruments waiting to be unlocked inside Lumatone, simply by customizing the colours and MIDI assignments of its keys.
There are countless resources online for learning about various approaches to isomorphic layout design, as well as many schools of thought around non-isomorphic approaches to hexagonal grid keyboards. We encourage you to read as much as you can on the subject to inspire you in building Lumatone mappings of your own.
To create mappings you can then save to Lumatone and play, you use our free companion Lumatone Editor software. In the articles in this section of our Help Centre, we’ll show you how to use the software to create, edit, load, and save mappings.
