monome 40h running fourths

More cool stuff and free music at http://stretta.com

A demonstration of using the 40h as a simple alternate controller. The beauty of the 40h is it can be anything you want it to be - this is just one example.

cheers man...awesome app. i use it all the time! quick question...how did you hook up your sustain pedal to the patch?

Thanks!

[stretta]

@alexjnewbury For a sustain pedal, I simply used max to patch [ctlin 64] to [ctlout 64] and routed it to the same MIDI destination.

fourths = 4 semitones inbetween each note ?

[stretta]

@WARDISWARD No, a fourth refers to the interval, not the number of semitones. A fourth = five semitones. A major seventh = 11 semitones, etc...

Hi Stretta.

Loving the demos, keep them coming.

Its sort of a silly question, but how would you rate a Monome 64 vs a 256? I realize the 256 provides more workspace, but cant the 64 be configured to basically have unlimited work space, giving you scroll? Im stuck between which one of the two i want to get.

Any answer will help.:)

[stretta]

The 64 monome has the broadest application support - most developers code for it first. Sometimes you'll find 256-only apps, but much of the time, interesting apps don't make use of the larger surface. You can, however, run helper apps that gang together four 64 apps onto one 256 surface. The 64 also has the tilt sensor. I suggest going for the 64, and work with it a while to see if you want to upgrade.

forgive me if this as been asked before, but isn't this arrangement simply an eight string bass (or guitar without the half step change in the 5th and 6th string) rotated 90 degrees?

what's the name of that song at 1:30? I can't remember who composed it

[foreverwii]

Holy crap i used to have one of those little keyboard things!!!

whats it called!?? :P

thanks

[squiresuzuki]

Nice concept, you must have been thinking of a guitar when designing it. This is actually really cool because if you know all the intervals between strings on guitar, you'd be able to use this with ease.

Is there any music related stuff a monome can't do?

[audibleobsession]

@clakkerclique Hey there, I know you posted your comment a while ago, but I thought I'd mention that I've done the same thing with my Launchpad and APC40! It just takes a while to map out all the pads to the required midi notes, but when you're all done, you're rocking! (I'll post a video soon of my Launchpad implementation).

Respect to you having a Casio VL Tone at the top of screen. I had one when I was young.

[faunflynn]

That's really cool.

[gtrgdss]

Thank you for explaining that. I am just getting into researching this instrument (monome) and have not found a lot of "noob" info on it. Appreciate your video! Thanks!
