Thanks for the informative replies! I’ll look into getting a new(ish) grid. Gotta sell some old gear first :slight_smile:

i love and hope i never move past an old grayscale 64. if you are wanting to explore with max 64 is plenty.

That’s the thing. For programming and experimentation, a 64 is plenty. I can always scale up if I go anywhere with it.

you can always scale up. i do not miss varibright btw. don’t get me wrong, it is gorgeous and amazing, but if your prime goal is delving into max, brightness will be the least of your issues for a very long time.

all that said, i cannot rec highly enough buying new stuff straight from source as you can’t support a better business.

i just have an attachment to the old black silicone and weight/feel/size as well as how the button action has aged so incredibly (hope they don’t fail).

you’ll love it. just take some time and don’t be in a hurry for the setup part. and then don’t be in a hurry to just explore what others have done as there is a whole lot of incredibly amazing free goldenwonderappz!!!

If you’re covered in silicon buttons you should go get checked out. :laughing:

Or hang out with the similarly adorned.

True! I haven’t met any fellow monomers in Flagstaff yet. If I see a stranger covered in those sweet silicon buttons I will have to approach him/her.

I had a solid day of Max patching, working with cycle~ and other primitives to get the feel for how they work together. I’m on the road this weekend and didn’t bring my new griddy friend, so as to give me more Max time. As fun as all of the applications already created for monome seem, in my heart of hearts I’m interested in doing my own thing. That being said, having a passing familiarity with the various apps will help me understand what people are aready doing with the device.

More power to you. I’m not good at coding or Max (maybe someday) so I really appreciate and need patches that others have created. Luckily there are lots of good ones!

I’ve been working in Max on and off for seven years. I’m finally getting to the point where it’s starting to click. In the past, once the going got tough, I just bailed and went back to my Elektron gear.
