I just ordered the 2 to 1 module! Questions for anyone out there who uses one of these and the monome switch (or something like it):
-does it get confusing if you use both? Say, with 2 ansibles, arc, grid, teletype, keyboard and earthsea (seems like a wild ride to say the very least, but generally I’m using at least 2 of these.)
-does the 2 to 1 make plugging grid into teletype safe the same way the switch/offworld did? Seems like yes, but wasn’t sure. Also, if the arc and grid were switching back and forth from 2 to 1, should you be careful where you send the arc? (Like to Teletype)
-what is the best way to switch between two ansibles, earthsea, and teletype in 2019? not using all 4, but maybe 3? I mean, if I’m not concerned about power supplies, is the best way to switch between monome modules currently to use the monome switch, offworld, usb splitter with mods, or something like this, or hot swapping? Seems like most racks I’m seeing don’t even use the monome switch anymore. Not sure if this is by choice, or because it’s discontinued, or because of how annoying it gets when it stops working on certain modules mid-patch.
I decided to stop sequencing with my varigate 8 and Rene v2 and just use monome modules/voltage block/shuttle control. Not sure if it’ll do for drumming but so far so good. Mostly just confused if I should keep my switch.
