No apologies need. I like a challenge (I always like a reward of course). As it’s the evening here I won’t be returning to the studio until the morning but will try it out then and let you know. Thanks for your support here too, it’s very much appreciated, as are the suggestions of everyone else!

Have a lovely day!

I finally got my monome up and running playing around with Fourths from:

Anybody have similar issues. Ableton Live Suite 9 with Max path configured to Max 7.3.6. If I play a note there is no LED feedback and occasionally it doesnt play a consistent note or sustains a note too long. How can I determine if it is a hardware or software issue? Maybe my monome is the problem?

I’m using μgrainstorm and grid position saves are inconsistent. Live 10 Max 8. Anyone noticed something similar? Thanks

Ok, admittedly I have a very nooby question to throw out there regarding Arclab. More of an Ableton question than a monome question (my computer recognizes the Arc just fine). Let’s say I want to use Rhythm Generator. What do I have to do in Ableton and the m4l rhythm generator device to actually trigger, say, drums (I’m not the most Ableton-literate)? I’m able to play around with the rate, density, etc. on my arc, I’m just not quite sure how to make it all work with instruments. In these instances, I wish there was some kind of tutorial…

Put the rhythm generator on a track. Put i.e. a drumrack on the same track. Press play in Ableton (you will hear nothing if you don’t press play). Enjoy.

Aha, thanks so much! I’ll try this when I get home. Does the same logic apply for other arclab devices, such as quad lfo?

yeah, put the device in the same track that you want the LFO to affect. The quad LFO, for instance, will want you to click the “map” button and then twiddle the control that you would like the LFO to affect.

When opening Arclab ArcControl, the js script was missing for me. I plugged in your code, but looks like line six has an illegal character? Thanks in advance for the help.

Looks like normal quotes " were replaced by smart quotes “ and ”

But I’m baffled how you’re getting the stretta gridlab devices installed without the included js

@jasonw22 Thanks for reply. Just downloaded again from Github. Same deal. No js script. How do I go about changing quote type?

if there’s anything I’ve learned from trying to distribute .amxd’s with dependencies it’s that it’s extremely unpredictable - as far as I can tell some people are just downloading my patches and they always end up with something missing

Use your keyboard to type " instead of “ and ”

Is there a way to see output routing for Stretta’s Gridlab Patchers (Dharma, ArcControl, etc)? Similar to all the monome patchers.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Sorry for necrobumping. First days diving deep into Arc / Monome universe. Using now Electric Dharma Wheels with big joy (Live 10, Max 8). One thing I can’t understand: how is this thing clocked? When I change tempo in Live, the tune goes unaffected. When I press “stop”, the LEDs stop moving, but the sound plays happily on. Would be nice to play along a clock, know the BPM etc.

thanks for any help

Ableton Link enabled ?

Yes it is. But the Arc seems totally independent from Live’s tempo control. I even imagine that having the old Max only version I could inject or extract a clock some how and send it to my modular etc. But here the wheels seem to be in a free run totally.

LC

Yep, EDW… I remember using it before Gridlab, when it was a standalone app. And yes, you set the speed with the way you turn the encoder. I don’t remember of any notion of tempo. Will check…

Dear all, does anyone still have the “obo” Max for Live monome device for download? It does not seem to come with stretta’s latest suite of maxforlive monome devices:

Does anyone wknow where I can find it? Would be much appreciated! Thank you.

It is still available here.
