Tehn, are we getting email confirmation when our order ships?

I agree with fluxsta. I don't know how it will play out, but don't just roll over. I would also do my best to get higher quality pictures of the damage. Sucks that this didn't go well. nearly all transactions with people in the momo…

I really love the idea, I'm very glad you went through with it. I added "The sunflower goes ah"

Re: minimalism in setup docs for me it was quite difficult to wrap my head around the interpretation of the docs accompanying monome related stuff. The minimalist aesthetic permeates a lot of things here, even into the "help and setup" do…

There's been no mention of a battery, though I have thought it would be nice. I imagine though, with all the stuff going on inside the aleph that it would be kind of difficult.

Really appreciate the updates tehn.

Whats a pokey machine?

Thanks man!

Incase anyone is annoyed by insurance: my 256 was stolen in the mail before it got to me, tehn had to send me another and file a claim. Insurance is a good thing.

I saw a live performance for a radio station by galapagoose, like three or so years ago. it was posted on MatrixSynth, That shit sold me the first time I watched it.

What if, as a first option, we could connect the Soundplane to Aleph via the current SoundPlane client. Soundplane -> computer -> aleph (via usb). I know it sort of defeats the purpose of using the aleph instead of a comp, but it seems like it…

@carp Now we're talking.

Guys. I think we should get a little group together of aleph + soundplane owners. I think we need to work together if anythings going to happen, because there are going to be so few of us. maybe just a thread, maybe a google docs account. or Gi…

Regarding I2c, I feel like many of the ideas we will have about possible I2c connections will be already achievable with the Aleph. When i thought about a photocell / generic expression controller, my first thought was that it could be easily achiev…

@tekcor Tehn and Ezra mentioned in the Aleph thread that the hardware is not going to be open, and that a kit is not going to happen. There's simply not any extra room for things in the enclosure, and that the components are too complex / expe…

If anyone is looking for quality instrument cables, I actually make them. I mostly make for myself, to save money, but I had to buy like 400 feet, so I have some extra product. I've sold them to people for about $35 for a 12 footer. They'…

I just wanted to mention, I know that a communication protocol for the Madrona Labs Soundplane was mentioned to be in the works, but I'm so excited by the possibility of using it with the aleph that I just wanted to say I'd be willing to h…

"proof positive that rules of counterpoint sound pretty uninspiring(or at the very least, only sound good from a subjective perspective), when taken outside of their original Catholic-church context:" The reason this sounds bad is not bec…

I just had a thought, I'm guessing at this point none of the audio IN's have phantom power? I know there is a gain switch for mic vs line level. Is there a stand alone phantom power box that anyone here can recommend?

Just placed my order! WHOOO

Im curious how open it is to upgrades in the future. If more memory or a better processor becomes available in a year or two at a cost effective price point, will the aleph be able to be upgraded, or will we have to wait for aleph 2.0?

@ioflow So a new community of apps and app builders will have to be constructed around this device, all using C to program? It sounds like a pretty long term goal. I mean, it's exactly what happened with the monome, but with C instead of Max …

So, am I right that you cannot load existing max patches onto the device? As in, I can't use "Plane" as a step sequencer for a modular synth / Tempest / whatever? there would have to be a new step sequencer written in C?

Damn, prices are really coming down on these.

Hey guys, I'm not sure how many people use this app, but I'm trying to get the score following function to work. is anyone using it effectively?

@oootini what's a mcu/soc? I guess this would be the thing with ezra buchla. I wonder how much money i should save for that whole thing.

Somehow I doubt there would be much of a market for an Arc 8. But I probably would have said the same thing about the monome before I was converted.

I'm pretty unfamiliar with his github. Is stretta still operating any sort of blog? is there any other way to follow his work?
