final 2013 grids and arcs

news
  • tehntehn

    we found a handful of stray plates which were sent off for refinishing, which means we will have a few final grids and arcs this year. 64's and 128's have shown "sold out" on the order site, but i've added stock back-- purchases made now will ship first week of december. we have only a few 64's and less than ten 128's. we also have about a dozen each of the 256, arc4, and arc2.

    we're also planning out future productions-- there's a very strong likelihood we won't be producing all 5 devices. while we really like each individually, we also see a need to focus our energies and also focus more on software. i'll be posting as new developments emerge. several projects on the cusp of sharing!

    i'm reeeeeally interested in the future of grids

    each edition has been a refinement . makes me curious to see how the new ones will change [and in other ways remain the same]

    hopefully 128s make the roster cut :)

    no doubt. back in 2009, i don't think tilt was finalized, yet, and perhaps the LEDs were of a different shade. also, the walnut seems to differ year to year, but yea, my favs startup of all times.

    Do the 2013 Arcs still have the buttons on the encoders?

  • gligli

    @BillyL nope

  • BillyLBillyL

    Is it possible to modify them at all to have the buttons?

  • oootinioootini

    nope :)

  • gligli

    on the bright side they do have higher resolution than their older pushbutton cousins

  • BillyLBillyL

    Yeah I was looking at that. Quite significantly higher it seems so that's nice.

    @BillyL
    But since you're going to be most likely using Max anyways, theres a lot of work arounds you could do. Set keys on the keyboard, make an arduino with two buttons to chat over serial, etc.

  • BillyLBillyL

    @MCDELTAT Thanks for the suggestions :)

  • tehntehn

    we're out of 64's. check the forum for used devices!

  • tehntehn

    we're sold out of 128's!

    also we won't be shipping any more grids/arcs until the new year. if you want to get something quickly, control voltage has stock ready to ship. http://controlvoltage.net

    Are the pictures on the main page dated or are you no longer designing Monomes with the "frame" of wood around the metal faceplate?

    first photo is the most current edition. second photo was discontinued in 2011.

  • hr_alberthr_albert

    do I see it correctly that you still have 256s and arc 4s that would be shipped if I ordered?

  • tehntehn

    yes, it'll take about a week to get them built, we're launching back into aleph building.

  • QuantikQuantik

    When - if so - will 40h be made again?

  • c1t1zenc1t1zen

    you mean sixty four? 40h hasn't been built in years.

  • tehntehn

    we're have a new edition of the 128 announced soon.

  • QuantikQuantik

    Yeah I mean 64, it's actually been years since I last looked into it

  • miskmisk

    @tehn can it be an updated, varibright 128GS? please? :)
