Dodeka keyboard

The Dodeka Keyboard Design is an isomorphic keyboard invented and designed by Jacques-Daniel Rochat. It is similar to a piano keyboard but with only a single row of keys containing each chromatic note.[1][2][3] The keys corresponding to C, E and A flat are highlighted to provide visual landmarks. The creators aimed to create a rational and chromatic approach to music and performance.[4] As an isomorphic keyboard, any musical sequence or interval has the same shape in each of the 12 keys.

Music notation

The Dodeka design was developed together with the Dodeka Music Notation.[5][6][7] It consists of a four-line chromatic staff, and represents rhythms only using the visual length of a bar on the staff, reminiscent of the appearance of "piano roll" in digital audio workstations.

gollark: There are probably some jobs which work significantly better if you can physically talk to people. Although this is just a communication software problem, in many ways.
gollark: Presumably, if this was actually as productive (for normal people doing moderately boring jobs), offices would just work that way to mildly improve morale.
