![]() ![]() LinnStrument sends standard MIDI messages over its USB or MIDI output jacks, and is configured by default to work out-of-the-box over a single MIDI channel for compatibility with every MIDI sound generator in existence, but with the advantages over a MIDI keyboard of performed vibrato, note-to-note pitch slides, polyphonic pressure sensing, and forward/backward touch control. Or if you're a piano keyboard player, do what many LinnStrument players do: place LinnStrument behind your keyboard for expressive solo performance with your right hand. Alternatively, you can light any scale and in any of 10 colors. ![]() To make it easy to find the right notes, the scale notes are lit, with all the C note pads lit in a different color and having a Braille-size bump for tactile feedback. 3) 5 octaves (on the large model) fit in a playing surface that's only 18.7 inches (475 mm) wide. 2) There are multiple instances of each pitch, permitting solo and accompaniment play in the same pitch range, and a variety of fingerings for each chord or scale. The Fourths String Layout has other advantages over the piano keyboard: 1) It's isomorphic, meaning that the same chord or scale fingering works in all musical keys. ![]() This note arrangement is called the 4ths String Layout and is fast becoming a new standard for expressive musical control, used in Ableton Push, Roli's LightPad Block, a variety of iPad apps and now over 4300 LinnStruments sold. By default they are tuned in musical fourths (five semitones), like a bass guitar with 8 strings. You can tune the rows like a guitar, violin or however you wish. Each row is a series of consecutive semitones, so bends and pitch slides are simple and intuitive: play a note, slide left or right to the destination note, then wiggle it for vibrato. So LinnStrument's notes are arranged as on any stringed instrument. ![]()
