The Dodeka keyboard is an isomorphic keyboard on which the keys are arranged in consistent and linear intervals. On this keyboard, there are no more upper and lower rows of keys. All keys are set up at the same level in a linear fashion.
The consistent and regular configuration of this keyboard means that any musical passage or chord has the same shape or fingering when transposed to other keys or when played in other types of tunings.On top, this keyboard was specifically designed to work with the Dodeka music notation, making sheet music look very much like guitar tablatures.Read more about the benefits and advantages this keyboard can bring to creative musicians and keyboardists in this article: “4 Reasons why Isomorphic Piano Keyboards Can Revolutionise Your Music”
