Agreed, I will use a CV keyboard for normal tunings, the TKB is for everything else. David Salter Reuters Consulting Tel: +44 20 7542 2402 Mob: +44 7990562402 Fax: +44 20 7542 2699

Subject: [Doepfer_a100] Re: TKB - different responses
fairs/group
Wondering wether it makes sense to indicate tones and semitones
in
the layout of the TKB or if it is just confusing bcs the actual
tunig
can (and usually will?) be totally different. The latter might
be the
reason why - to my knowledge - both Serge's and Buchla's TKBs
have
their plates simply side by side.
I'm looking very much forward to the TKB but most likely will
never
scale it like an ordinary keyboard thus I prefer an appearance
that
don't suggest a certain tuning. Regards Ilanode
