i assume you mean for some sort of sequencing/routing/mixing application, not for meadowphysics specifically? yeah using a 256 in that way would be cool, especially if you could use it to control a matrix mixer of some sort (i’ve been hoping somebody would build a tt expander for the 4ms vca matrix…)

#4

i was thinking for meadowphysics specifically, like every column in the matrix represents a row in the top half (every row represents an output) and u could re-route them to different outputs on the fly, and then the other 8x8 could have control duties for each output, like transpose, mute, solo, hold?

I’m not sure if this would make sense in eurorack context though since u have mixers for that type of thing.

so a matrix for assigning outputs to rows? yeah, i like this idea (something i had on a back burner for a while is an idea of a sequencer with a built in modulation matrix, this reminds me of that).

there is no transpose in the eurorack version as it just outputs triggers and it’s up to you how to use them, but i like the idea of using one page to control multiple rows, which would be beneficial to the current functionality (where you control one row at a time) instead of just duplicating it.

#6

a modulation matrix with sequencing sounds awesome. u could probably use per-led brightness to visualize modulation on each cell. (i bet that would look amazing)

#7

obviously this wouldn’t be possible with meadowphysics but maybe with a few ansibles linked together it can be done?

#8

you’d only need several ansibles if you want to have more than 4 CVs and 4 trigger outputs (and you’d need to control them from a teletype to use them together). but maybe i misunderstood?

Possible to use Monome 256 (pre-varibright) with Eurorack?

found and fixed some bugs [the hex file in the original post updated]:

  • in preset mode pressing anywhere in the bottom half caused freezing
  • changing rules/settings also changed the current row

This is great!
I got it working without any problems on my 256.
I’ll let you know if i run into any bugs or anything unusual or unexpected.
Thank you very much for your effort, it’s nice to finally get a bit extra out of having 256 instead of a 128 with the modules.

This. Is. Awesome.

Thank you so much for the time and effort you have poured into this and Orca.

Dusted off my 256:

That’s awesome! is there a 256 mod for white whale? Might be on the look out for a Meadowphysics.

#13

yep, was going to look into modding ww next.

Would it be possible to see your sourcecode?
I’m trying to learn and it would be very helpful!

#15

of course, just like the original firmware it’s open source.

here is the branch:

and here is the diff so you can easily see the mod itself:

it’s a pretty straight forward mod, the implementation was intended to be done in the way that would have minimal impact on the original code. will be happy to help with any questions!

#16

one thing i realized i didn’t add was a proper support for non vb 256. is that something that would have enough interest? adding that would result in a lot of duplicated code [or refactoring some of the original code, which i’m trying to avoid].

#17

I have a non vb walnut 256. I’d definitely make use of this, but I’m not sure just me would justify a bunch of your valuable time.

#18

it’s actually not as bad as i thought, should be able to add it easily!

#19

looks like i don’t need to do anything extra for meadowphysics - it calls the same function for both VB and non VB, so you should be able to use this version. for white whale it does have a separate function for non VB, i’ll make sure the 256 mod will support both.

#20

Cool! I give the meadowphysics a try when i’m back to my studio next week.

Amazing

I almost sold my 256 so it’s staying for now

@scanner_darkly

I have a DIY 512 and I’m certain it would detect two 256 ?

I’ll check this later and post

super excited to try this with a simmons sds and akai S900 and disting :slight_smile:

should be mucho sample triggering fun :slight_smile:

not sure how it will work with a 512, in theory if it reports itself as a grid with 32 columns and 16 rows it should work. i’ll be curious to hear if it does!
