Here Hero digs deeper into the mathematics of the keyboard, and why she believes that the mathematical relationships played through the keyboard express deeper aspects of the nature of the universe:
Hero’s views will strike many as being “new age” – but it’s also very clear that the Pythagorean Lambdoma Harmonic Keyboard offers an interesting tool for understanding and exploring the mathematics that underlie both music and nature.
According to Hero:
THE PLHK KEYBOARD has the unique capability of sounding any musical interval in a matrix of harmonic frequencies in the audible range. Its diamond-shaped matrix holds 64 keys in one quadrant. A total of 256 keys in any microtonal keynote may be played. Each keynote produces harmonic stereo intervals relating to the player’s chosen keynote. Overlays of the three other quadrants in colors and frequencies of the musical notes (in a C scale) are included. Since another set of overlays of the intervals are based upon geometrical ratios, the shapes of the musical intervals may be seen as the keys are pushed.
MUSICIANS will have the ability to play microtonal music in real time and experience harmonic and sub-harmonic interval sounds. A midi software program “Fractal Tune Smithy /Lambdoma” composed especially for the Lambdoma Keyboard enhances the musical capabilities of the keyboard.
The PLHK is available via Hero’s site. The devices are in limited supply and start at $4,000.
It looks like the Lambdoma Matrix could also be implemented with devices like the monome or the Novation Launchpad. If anyone’s done this, leave a comment!
And, if you’ve used Hero’s Pythagorean Lambdoma Harmonic Keyboard, leave a comment and let us know what your thoughts are on both the keyboard and the ideas behind it.

catchy name
Yeah – Pythagorean Lambdoma sounds a bit like something your dermatologist would remove.
i think we have something here.
Not exactly catchy tunes, though. And surely everyone knows that the "key to the universe" is the stylophone.
For the monome:

Numerology is live and kicking.
That was fast!
Once this is running on the Novation Launchpad, nirvana will be within reach of all…..
Hello Friend,
I have a Novation Launchpad and I’m trying to find a FIX, Code…anything really to have the Lambdoma Layout on a Launchpad…did u figure out a way? For MAC or PC
Thanks,
Shaheer
mriltron if u spent as much time rambling about the stylophone your music would still go no where
That was relatively incoherent.
Where's "mriltron" when you need him?

Mister Iltron here!
He's absolutely bongo. If I spent as much time taking away the other, I too could be blank!
(Psst, I think he's either mad or both, but give him the clap he so richly deserves.)
Thanks for your support – I will continue to wear it.

i dont think u should scoff the device or brushed aside just yet because of the geriatric playing it
"Mr Iltron" is actually a pretty decent moniker.
Maybe it could be your rap personae.
And I don't think that you (spelt 'you') should tag my critique of the device with an offensive description of the inventor, Ms Anon. But as long is your ageist remark was only intended in fun, who am I to publicly hold you up to ridicule?
Thanks. But at my age, it's precisely because of my hip that I am unable to hop!

Coolest grandma ever!!!
By far.
I was just thinking that I should adopt her.
Whoa, be careful! At four grand a keyboard, she obviously doesn't come cheap.
that's not numerology. that's physics. phenomenology mayhap. hard science in either case. maryanne would dig it.

Heya! I realize this is kind of off-topic but I had
to ask. Does operating a well-established website like
yours take a massive amount work? I am brand new to operating a blog however I do write in my journal on a daily
basis. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my personal experience and
views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips
for brand new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
