 IsoKeys™ is a free isomorphic musical
keyboard. All intervals, chords, and scales have identical patterns,
regardless of the key in which one plays. Similar in spirit to Musix for the
iPad, IsoKeys provides a starter isomorphic keyboard for Android users.
IsoKeys is polyphonic on devices that support multi-touch and, when properly configured with a paid feature, can function as a MIDI controller over WiFi. Isomorphic (also known as "consistent-interval") keyboards are easier for many people to learn than piano keyboards. Theoretically, they reduce the time required to learn scales, chords, intervals, and arpeggios by more than 92%. This is because on an isomorphic keyboard, once the fingering for, say, an individual major scale is mastered, this same fingering pattern may immediately be used to play any major scale. Instead of 12 major scales to learn, isomorphic keyboardists need only to learn one. Instead of twelve minor-seventh chords, only one. Instead of twelve variants of any technical exercise, isomorphic keyboardist need learn only one. Pianists, and many other instrumentalists, spend much time working on rudimentary elements like scales. Isomorphic keyboards promise to reduce the time required for you to move from beginner to expressive musician. For more information about alternative keyboards, see the altKeyboards site. IsoKeys currently offers the following layouts:
IsoKeys delivers the power of isomorphic keyboards to all
Android users. But patience is needed in the beginning. There are a lot of buttons,
including redundant buttons, in IsoKeys. Take your time and let the patterns
emerge. Eventually, you may wish to graduate to a physical isomorphic keyboard, like those offered by C-Thru Music. IsoKeys is available through Google Play and the Amazon Appstore.   If you are having a problem with IsoKeys, please open a ticket. |
