I have small hands, and am I a guitar player, so I'm thinking I'll like the 4ths layout, but TJ Shredder has me considering the 6 semitone layout. I guess I will try both, run through some scale and chords, and see what feels right.

Thanks all!

Is there a way to get a 180 degree rotation of the key layout?

Rotating the LinnStrument itself would be the only method to do so at the moment.

In Global Settings > column 1, turn on the 4th note pad from bottom.

That changes the layout to left-handed mode, but does not rotate the notes. They are only vertically inverted, with the lowest bass note being on the bottom right instead of the top right as a rotation would do, and likewise for the highest treble note.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I've tried left-hand mode but it's not the 180 degree rotation I'm after.
I should be able to modify the firmware I suppose?

Here is how to get LinnStrument's default pitch layout with the unit rotated 90 degrees:
1) In Global Settings > column 1 (Note Lights, View), turn ON the 4th button from the front (Left Hand Mode).
2) In Global Settings > column 6 (Row Offset), HOLD the "+Octave" button, then slide your finger left until you see "-5".
3) Exit Global Settings to see the normal scale lights, then rotate your LinnStrument 180 degrees.

Right, I forgot negative values were possible for the offset.

That worked perfectly! Who's this Roger guy?! He has all the answers!

A small follow-up question on this. I just noticed that my pad light pattern is no longer following the key of C, which would be nice. Is there any way to get them to match the new tuning?

If you followed my instructions, your light patten and pitch when rotated 180 degrees will be identical to the default LinnStrument light pattern and pitch. Perhaps you had the Note Lights settings set differently than the defaults? To test this, you could do a Global Settings > Reset, then perform my instructions again.

I never knowingly messed with the light settings before but I'll give that a go. Thanks.

Yes, you were right, as always, Roger! Lights are looking good now. Thanks again.

I’m happy to help.
