Overlay Design: Hex Keyboard

This is a design for an isomorphic keyboard, with hexagonal keys. The zip contains the senselmap, adobe illustrator file, and a PNG. The arrow keys are for octave up and down, the side sliders are CCs 1 and 7. This is a super fun MPE keyboard that makes it much easier to play key changes - just move your hand, but your fingers do the same thing.

An example the hex/isomorphic design in the wild (our office). In this case it’s being used to control a Korg Minilogue synth

Here’s the graphics and senselmap for anyone who wants to use this with their own Korg Minilogue. Requires a USB-MIDI host, such as a Kenton USB Host or Retrokits RK005 to plug the Morph into the Korg Minilogue. hexangle_Korg_Minilogue.senselmap (6.9 KB)

MIDI Implementation for Korg Minilogue (so you can modify the CC settings, if you like) is in a basic text file here.

Thanks for the upload of the overlay files.
I’ve just got my sensel and this was the very first custom overlay I have tried.
