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
