Wow

A while back I was reading about keyboard spacing. This was because I had been watching a video online of someone demonstrating how to play bass lines on a synthesizer. Instead of a normal-size keyboard, they were playing on a reduced-size synthesizer and I thought it was cool.

I then got kind of interested in smaller-spaced keyboards and did a lot of reading. I have a bunch of links that I saved and wanted to post but will have to later.

Anyhow, out of that episode of research and reading I came across an article on the “Wolf interval“. In that article there is a section which mentions an “isomorphic” keyboard.

Very curious about this I immediately searched for videos on isomorphic keyboard and found some trippy stuff:

Someone playing Beethoven on this trippy keyboard:

I then found a video of this brilliant guy who created a Janko keyboard for his piano (check out the Bach piece at 7’30”):

All the above was sort of like a prelude, for the ultimate mind-blowing video below of the Terpstra keyboard and the science behind keyboards (it also mentions the Janko keyboard above and its place in the science of the keyboard):

And finally, putting all this into gear, here is a guy actually playing amazing music with a Terpstra keyboard (music starts at 3’40”):

I don’t even have words to describe this video below (starting at 2’00”):
