Ten years! Congrats on the longevity. Certainly I hope Novation, Livid and Ableton get together and send you a cake for the broadcast.

Given your output in the past year, it feels like you’re just getting warmed up too.

Congratulations indeed.
I still remember seeing that demo video of the 40h (or whatever it was called) with green LEDs, with an early mlr, and that 60hz mediation thing. Seemed so crazy/alien at the time!

Yup that’s the one!
It’s crazy how far it’s come along (in terms of design/interfacing) while still retaining the fundamental monome-ness.

And here’s the earliest video I remember encountering that featured a crazy many button light-up thingy. Blew my mind…

that’s a nice reminder of how i first found out about all of this- the video that killed me was:

can’t imagine how kelli and brian feel after 10 years… if you would have told me 9 years ago when i got into this that a present day me would have gone on the journey i’ve experienced so far, i could not have predicted such a lasting and deep adventure that these people have given to me!!!

thank you for everything, you have been a constant inspiration and refuge through these many years!

thanks for this nifty look back! i recognize several friendly faces, as i met them for the first time in 2011 at SCUM2 and the monomeet performance later that year. so many folks have been around since the beginning.

also, i never knew that the keypads on the earliest 40h units were handmade.

were you using a prototype 128 with the 200e here?

also also, pineapple for scale.

nah, that’s two 40h’s. i’m guessing peter’s (portable sunsets.)
