Keyboards with built in 'smarts' about Music Theory - both conventional (eg TheoryBoard) and Microtonal (eg Lumatone) and everything 'in between' - including Brain Interfaces

Okay - I was watching the European Broadcast Union’s New Year’s Day Concert from Viena and my fingers were idle… so I wrote a plugin that I have initally called, “Chordulator”. It is fairly simple at the moment and only a proof of concept. Pressing a key with the right hand (above the split point) will trigger a chord, based on a chord selection made by pressing a key with the left hand (below the split point). This isn’t a feature rich as the controllers mentioned above but it may be a useful plugin that we can expand to provide functionality our users want.

I have only added three chords so far: major triad, minor triad and Mystical chord. This is just to prove it works. I haven’t yet considered the various mechamisms described above.
