Cygnet

Cygnet is an extension of the original fourths application. First, it grew the ability to play different grid configurations, then I added a 4-tap delay, then I added an 8-track sequencer. I created this to realize a piece of music which I'm still working on. The max patch is far enough along to create a demonstration video, and share with the patch with the monome community. Hopefully at some point in the future, I'll be able to share a real music statement and not simply a bunch of noodling.

Additional information and the software can be downloaded at stretta.com

Have you ever listened to Brian Eno - Music for Airports? Your playing sounds alike.

[stretta]

@ubercoolmanna Music For Airports is a work of monumental importance. This is an insignificant youtube video. I think it would be impossible to escape eno's influence, directly or indirectly, in the field of ambient.

so from all the demos i've seen i'm left with the impression that monomes can only be effectively used with live. would it be possible to use these applications with the monome in reaktor or some other sample/synth program other live?

[stretta]

@CaptainErn Monomes speak OpenSound Control, and can directly communicate to anything that can parse OSC, Reaktor included. Go to the monome forums for more information.

Ok so, how did you get all these skills? Like how did you learn all your music and all the things that go with it. Mostly, how the hell can you afford all of these things

[stretta]

I've been obsessed about the subject for 25 years.

[loftyj]

such an amazing piece of equipment

[Copiophonica]

Hey Stretta. I'm a fan. Wishing I was as skilled as you are with my Monome.

[WhatAxBrit]

for a starter to monome's, which model would you recommend?

[hideyourface]

This wouldn't work on the 64, much to my dismay. One day I'll own a 256!

Everytime I hear "The Grid" I think of Tron...I freaking love that movie.
