lumatone-rs

Tools for controlling the Lumatone isomorphic keyboard.

This repo contains a work-in-progress library and GUI app for controlling the Lumatone, a super cool MIDI keyboard with 280 hexagonal keys arranged in a regular pattern.

This work is a continuation of the lumachromatic app I wrote a while back. I decided to implement the MIDI bits in rust, partly to get better at rust, but also to make it easier to bundle a standalone desktop app without getting Electron into the mix.

This project is not yet stable, and I'm likely to push breaking changes to the main branch frequently until things settle down a bit.

Status

Mostly working:

• MIDI driver
  • all command and response types are implemented, but some have not yet been tested against the device
• Lumatone preset files (.ltn)
  • Can parse .ltn files to a LumatoneKeyMap struct
  • LumatoneKeyMap::to_midi_commands() returns the commands to send to the device
• [-] Command line tool
  • Sends .ltn preset files to the device

On the horizon:

• define the data model for tunings and scales
• replace dioxus gui with tauri & port UI code from lumachromatic over.
• implement control api
  • used either via tauri's IPC bridge, or headless via websocket (or similar)
