APC40 Hack 1: Monome Emulator for the APC40 by !INCLUDE

This video shows a max msp patch I made for Akai's APC40. It basically allows you to use all of the Monome apps with an APC40. Download the app for free at:

Thanks to Cassiel for his great Shado Library.

hi does this run flinn,mlr and boiing ? just asking as they are my favorite monome patches

after thinking that monome patches would feel odd on the apc caus of the lack of a same size 8x8 grid i realised how many use the bottom for control buttons anyway so in a way it makes more sense

peace

It should work with any monome app out there - as long as the apps don't use frame. I don't think many do and i've heard frame doesn't work with the OS X version of monomeserial either. about the apc as a monome, I actually like it better, the buttons on the monomes are tiny. Its hard for me to get a in a real groove because im always concentrating on hitting the buttons. With the apc i can be more relaxed because i don't have to worry about missing the buttons so much...

what is this? Please show how you got the APC40 to work with monome apps. I tried and it would not work.

go to the link in the about and download the monomulator patch...

correct me if im wrong but isnt the point of using an apc40 for making/performing music? what exactly is the point of this?

[banginclude]

Why watch another video of someone playing with a monome app. Who cares? The point of this is art, Im using the APC in a non traditional way to create.Also, the blinkie lights is a Monome graphics framework called shado. so it is actually showing a Monome app working on the APC40...If people followed that logic humans never would have hit two rocks together to make percussion, or then tied animal skins to a hollowed out piece of clay to make the first drum, because thats not what skins are for

I know I'm probably being a fool, but is there anyway to run this through Ableton? The patch is killer.

Did you make the visuals in Quartz? I would love to know how you did the visual aspect of this video. It would be amazing to perform and have my APC be the lightshow. =]

i read that this Monome-on-APC40-thing works even without MAX/Msp or M4L... but how can this work?? i dont even own MAX/Msp or M4L... everybody shows and talks about that it works, only by mapping and stuff, but i dont know how it works...any idea where i can get a template from? ...btw great visuals, what are they made with?
