Yes. 5U and MOTM. Been mostly lurking here since discovering MW forum.

Chess on a 256 is quite possible. Each square has 4 pixels, Black color pieces blink or have variable brightness dim to differentiate. 0 = on, x = off So for example pawns could be xx x0 king could be x0 00 queen could be 0x 00 rook 00 …

Some of Stretta's work fits into this category... Or should I say "Soome"...

I should check this out. DC is close by. Hope the weather cooperates.

"Beat juggling" is given a new meaning here. The 43 Tricks video is an impressive display!

If you only want to control Ableton, TouchAble is fine. Lemur gives you additional control and customizations. Also I believe TouchAble is wireless only, not sure this applies to the Lemur software. From the specs: "Connectivity Lemur s…

Great, now all I need is a bigger iPad :-D

If it's cheaper than an iPad then it's okay. Why do I not think so?

Maybe I should hold on to my Blofeld and Virus TI Snow after all...who knows what future generations will think. Monomes might be collectors items sooner

Now what about upsizing actual 256 to a bigger virtual grid like a 512 or ...? Thinking of stretta's plane...which already kind of does a similar trick although without "hosting" other apps.

SerialOSC and monomeserial shouldn't both be running I suppose. Either stop monomeserial or end the SerialOSC in the background and use the corresponding version of app.

Actually several videos...he seems to be giving that song new life. Shows what gold is hidden in old record bins.

I'll have to check this video out... I really like some of his turntable jazz performances...seems to me he'd be a natural with a monome and an arc... There's an old one on YouTube showing him play "Moon River" with a coup…

West Coast champ for a reason...

If you already have an iPad there are apps such as Griid and Touch-Able. But APC40 is nice with comparatively minimal setup headaches, depending on what you plan to do. The APC20 is another option but is open it some of the launchpad criticisms.

It has some nice touches, no pun intended. I like how you can change timbres etc. by hitting higher or lower on the keys, moving the x-y thing with its orbiting objects, and of course the oscilloscope graphics are cool but you can always toggle the…

@madronalabs: Indeed I have! Didn't mean to guilt-trip anyone, including the cat or Tehn's cat. I'm sure you've been busy enough spending hours in the company of these devices. (Company in multiple senses of the word) @ tehn …

I'll be trying this out later today...their filter app was nice. But this seems to be on another level entirely. Now I can have some serious fun playing my apps with my keyboards or my keyboards with my apps or controlling both with other gea…

Post a soundplane video! Let the cat stroll over it, anything! On second thought the cat could do damage if claws are enabled.

Can monomeforlive be far behind? But seriously I regard this as good news.

Would be great for a pinball app, wouldn't it.

Rockferry - Duffy Or is that too recent?

I hope the package of packing material arrives soon, carefully packed. Perhaps they made so much excess packing material, there was nothing left to pack it with?

Get both for those snow-blower sounds!

He called me Sean! I knew it, I would sooner or later get confused with "Someone Else" when in fact I am really Someone_Else. So who am I? Some call me...TIM

I'd be concerned about some of the tiles coming loose and having to put them back in the middle of a heavy solo. Then again, this may not be an issue! As another Snyderphonics (and C-thru Music) user, hexagonal layouts would be great. Should …

There is still a manta forum on Google Groups, it's where the new posts on the topic can be found. As another manta v.2 user I want to encourage bar|none to keep it up! I think it's amazing that one app can work on such different devices.

Looks like a fun device. But Mustn't...spend...money...

I have these crazy ideas for combining my four mk grids, two 128 faceplates, one black and one clear, with an encoder bank, all in one big awkward-looking but serviceable device. Maybe I can rack- mount it in my dotcom cabinet. I could call it my G…

Did you see Artful Codger's device in the West Coast Controller competition? Video is on You Tube. Bigger than the average doorway.
