Has anybody here ever plugged a Lumatone [ https://www.lumatone.io/ ] into Ardour?
Looks very interesting, but it’s not quite my price range

Understood!
But I am in the Autumn of my life, so I actually ordered one,
and (after several months) it has just arrived. I confer
the honor of opening the package, to my musical son-in-law,
who will be arriving later today.
Sometime next year, I hope to see my upcoming granddaughter’s
fingers on that keyboard, tuned to 53 EDO.
For now, I just hope that the blessed thing will simply plug in to Ardour !
It seems like it should just show up as a multichannel MIDI controller. What will you connect the stream of MIDI data to? Seems like it will need a lot of configuration.
I don’t believe you mentioned which OS you use, but a cursory search for “lumatone linux” gives:
Introducing Lumatone Editor. The easiest way to connect to your Lumatone.

Lumtone Editor is free software that allows you to create and modify mapping files for Lumatone, and save them as presets on your instrument. You can work with or without a Lumatone connected. When connected, you’ll get real-time visual feedback as you work. Every mapping allows you to define the unique characteristics of each key including key colour, midi note number and channel, and a variety of mapping-specific settings such as velocity curves, Lumatouch, polyphonic aftertouch, and expression pedal sensitivity.
First of all, I would like to hear sounds, when someone presses those keys.
Then, I would like the on/off option of recording the sounds.
Ardour, given a MIDI file, definitely can play it, and one can edit
to heart’s content.
Thus far, I’ve been going back and forth between Ardour and Melodyne,
and gotten some results that I like, but the labor involved is immense,
compared to a keyboard input.
Lumatone + Lumatone Editor + Universal Tuning Editor
with some ad-hoc Lumatone mappings of mine,
should speed things up, and make the task of composition
much more fluid and natural.
