ahhh, now you’re making me move my switch to the 1u strip of my case.
no room for the arc module otherwise.
off to github to hunt for panel files and get an fpe order in.

Great news. I was hoping this might be what @tehn was alluding to at the Control demo. Can’t wait to see the arc-centric module!

I’m happy there will only be a four-knob version – as the owner of a non-push arc 2 I’ll have an easier time justifying buying this new edition :slight_smile:

wowee! it looks beautiful, man. and i’m sure the companion module will be just as stunning. congrats!

looking forward…

Congrats, can’t wait to put my hands on it, very curious about the module as well…

#32

So the encoders are non-push. That’s too bad, I was looking forward to use these push buttons. Can I ask why these were removed?

#33

this is incredibly exciting. the monome/mannequins system looks so amazing. between that and a makenoise black system, nothing else has such deep direction unto itself. very inspirational. super huge vision. wonderful to live in the future (if i could only blind myself of the politics).

Excellent, better get saving then…

Will the module offer a different set of IO to what we have at the moment?

#35

Oh, i just realized it will be a non-push edition… That’s really too bad and almost vanishes my excitement. The push aspect more than doubles the potential, according to me.

#36

I never actually touched both models to do proper comparison (only nonpush) but I’d have been shocked if they went back to include a feature that was deliberately removed.

A brief quote from the old forum

the reason we switched away from the push encoder is due to the right reject rate of the encoders-- we had a good number go bad in production. and even the ones that work have poor shaft tolerancing (wobble). so while these first ones are useful and appreciated by their users (i think), losing the push was a compromise we were willing to make.

Arc - how are you enjoying yours

i see… thanks for digging this out.

I am confident that a monome module designed specifically to interface with Arc4 will make an amazing use of the Arc witmhout the need for push-button functionality.

When writing some patchs in Max for the non-push Arc4 I often wished that the push option was there, but with the module counterpart, additional functionality can be built/integrated with the Arc. As in: for example (and totally hypothetically) 4 gate inputs on the module can easily provide what pushing on each of the 4 knobs would have done…

@ithkaa fixed the non-push by replacing the function with a quick turn of the knob. There is always a way :slight_smile:

@kza fixed is a big word ;-). it’s a solution to the problem but it’s still not the same thing. I would be interested in seeing a new push button arc too but I understand @tehn 's decision. I Don’t mind using this workaround as I’ve become quite handy with it. I remember @Rodrigo mentioning another ‘fix’ over at the old forum (using a small gesture instead of a quick turn if I’m correct). Don’t know if he developed it further … Perhaps somebody else has an interesting approach?
