I would try all of @stretta’s. edw is pretty amazing. Be warned that a bunch of the old arc patches don’t quite work out of the box. (Or didn’t for me.) I’ve been meaning to do a more thoughtful survey of what does and doesn’t work but have been too busy fiddling with some max patching of my own. Anyway, if you do play around with things do post your experiences. You won’t be the only one looking for treasures… I’d be happy to help sort things out the best I can as well.

Cheers! :beers:

cool thank you.
I’ve been running max since 1999 so i am hopeful i can figure out a few things. And i have a few plans to make a app for a Xenakis patch i wrote in grad school and some jitter insanity too. This weekend is going to be fun :slight_smile:

Serious question, do you like the Arc more in front or behind the Monome? These are the types of questions that drive you nuts as you wait for delivery haha

probably depends on the app
also arm length / hand size, playing style, etc

I prefer the arc closer for fine adjustments (in fact often to the right of the grid since I had an arc 2)

this setup was determined by length of the USB :slight_smile:

Mine sits closer at the moment.
Seems to make more sense to me.

@laborcamp, Is this the 2013/2014 walnut monome plus new arc? how do the differing heights/materials feel? I’ll be in this boat as well when my arc arrives

#110

yes.
it feels like I want them to match, of course :wink:
it also feels a little gluttonous to feel that way.
but…

#111

yea, I’m hoping I just embrace it, but have a suspicion it will leave me wanting a matching set. from your pic, it still looks nice as a combo. any chance the arc knobs are close to the height of the grid? that might curb my OCD a little

VERY close to the height of the grid.
so much so, that you probably could not tell just from looking/using.

They are absolutely wonderful. Congratulations on a unique INSPIRING device(s).
I spent the last few hours browsing through the githubs full of cool max patches. Never having had a Grid/ARC pair before i am like a kid in a candy store. I am enjoying “grainchild” presently

cheers~

looks like I’m a little late and ARCs are out everywhere. is there any chance to get one in the next 2-3 weeks?

#117

we’ll have a new batch ready hopefully within 3 weeks. waiting on a new batch of parts.

Wondering if the two arc apps in ansible are ports of existing apps? And if so, are there docs for those in the wild?

Started exploring after my arc and ansible arrived today and think I’m going to need a little more to go on than the, nicely done, diagrams currently available.

I know it’s early days, so not trying to put a rush on things. Plenty of things to work on…

#119

Yes, I found myself wishing there was a nice diagram of the grid buttons for kria and meadowphysics as well. The verbal description works, but my poor tired brain has to work a bit harder to make sense of that.

@carvingcode @jasonw22

documentation is now my top priority. just finished building and shipping the last units.

thanks for your patience and i apologize the docs weren’t polished on launch. they will be soon!
