What is a haxophone?
As for Rust, you might find haxo-rs a good starting project, if interested. Your knowledge of keypad logic should make the code easy to follow.

- midimech: An alternative musical note layout system and visualizer for grid controllers like the LinnStrument, LaunchPad X, and more. Unlike the layout of other instruments, notes that sound good together are closer together, and notes that sound worse are furthest apart.
- Midimech: a new isomorphic musical layout system and visualizer for grid controllers supporting the LinnStrument, LaunchPad X, and keyboard. Currently in Development.

Newbie question about grid (isomorphic) based instruments.
Yeah it would be nicer if it had more vertical range but it would be more expensive. I should mention I primarily use an alternate layout on the Linnstrument 128 when I play and it seems to have good enough range for most two-handed stuff I play.

Learning instruments for sake of production
If you can afford it, the LinnStrument (128 version) is a really good option. It's quite easy to learn so it's effective for writing and bringing some more articulation and technique to your music. I use an alternate layout based on the circle of 5ths which makes it even easier to play and experiment with chord progressions (https://github.com/flipcoder/linnstrument-wholetone).

Show HN: A saxophone with keyboard keys, in Rust
I own a LinnStrument and it's fantastic. I created a custom note layout for it to make it easier to play: https://github.com/flipcoder/linnstrument-wholetone. The firmware is also open source. It feels like the Linux of instruments.
