I think you'd have to do it by allowing the key to sound a note (in the normal way connected to an instrument rig, not using a talker), and then get the talker to move the whole keygroup up or down for the next note.

Hi all,

has anybody played with implementing a Samchillian layout?

Thanks!

This might be possible with a suitably laid out keygroup and a layer of talkers underneath, so playing notes changes what the other keys will play next. Will have to give it a try some day.

Thanks for this - had a quick look at talkers.

So you could have say 9 keys connected to a talker, -4 ... 0 ... +4. These talker keys would then be assigned to play a particular note in the scale, and then set the tonic of that scale to the note.

What's not clear to me how you could do the relative setting of the tonic. The belcanto examples use fixed pitches (say "C") rather than relative ("up two semitones").
