Isn't it more akin to playing piano (being like using a mouse), reaching for octaves, vs. playing, say, a saxophone where you press a "meta" key to change octave (and alter breathing, but that's just a limitation of the analogy) being more like using a keyboard?

The problems I have with keyboard are usually discoverability.

Nah, they're both like keyboards. Playing piano is like typing. Changing octave with a "meta" key is like using Meta (Alt) on your keyboard.
