Monome MPC Style by Chili - Sweet & Savory

Introducing the Fresh-a-Sketch! a monome 40h kit built into an old Etch-a-Sketch complete with working pots knobs and two infrared controllers... Think DIY D-beams!

I'm using monome_midi_64 from monome base to route monome presses to Ableton Live. The adc function of this patch makes it handy for mapping the pots and beams...

Ableton is basically acting as a sampler in clip view with some midi mappings and macros for the fx chains...

all clips are mapped to buttons, the bottom two rows are dedicated to the Finger, knobs and beams are assigned to parameters of that plugin...

Track is Sweet & Savory part of a new project. On this track the guitar licks are brought to you by Abramius Bromide. Bells, drums and other random noise, yours truly.

Enjoy!

Super sweet! I'm just wondering, if you want to clear the samples do you pick up the unit and shake it?

[chilipalmero]

@CReadiusPro

that is technically possible of course. surprisingly your the first person to ask. Most people just ask if the knobs work.

[deadbeatslacker]

Wow man, I've been meaning to upgrade one of these. I currently have a mpd24 and I know you can do so much more with monome. Are they hard to put together?

@deadbeatslacker

the monome electronics are very easy to build even for beginners, especially now with the newer kits. The fun part is building an enclosure for it. A little creativity goes a long ways. check CDM's recent post for some more inspiration. The vintage radio is one of my favorites.

How did you set up live to act as a sampler like in the video? What I mean is, you are able to activate multiple clips in a vertical row, something that the normal clip view doesn't allow. Or did you just midi map each individual clip to a button? I tried to do that, but for some reason it wasn't letting me map them.

[chilipalmero]

@TheRealDrDude I mapped every button to it's own clip in live. This is a fun way to play the monome but is rather limiting in regards to live performance as you can only have one "song" loaded at a time.

Damn you, I came up with this idea without realising anyone else had, but obviously it's an awesome idea, so it makes sense someone else has done it already. Also, it sounds fucking awesome.

[djnotsomuch]

you are a really good player. Nice job all around!

[datavortex]

Very cool, well done!

[rawfflecakes]

could u do this with an APC?
