Abstract

RelayerForAll allows the Lumatone and Exquis keyboards to play two-dimensional microtonal tunings with isomorphic layouts and customisable key colours. RelayerForAll also allows standard piano-style keyboards to play two-dimensional microtonal tunings with non-isomorphic layouts. Custom tunings (e.g., higher-dimensional or irregular tunings) and layouts can also be specified in tables.

RelayerForAll’s core features:
- For 2-D tunings, the sizes of the period (e.g., octave) and generator (e.g., perfect fifth) can be specified and smoothly morphed between
- Irregular custom microtonal tunings can be specified in a table listing the microtonal pitches for all keys of your instrument
- Tunings are transmitted via MIDI MPE, which is supported by all major DAWs and a large number of soft synths
- For Lumatone and Exquis: several different isomorphic mappings of the period and generator to the keyboard with associated (and customisable) key colours
- For piano-style instruments: several different non-isomorphic mappings of 2-D tunings to the keyboard
- All settings can be saved in presets, and many useful presets provided
- Individual key velocity calibration for the Lumatone.
