It’s always going to be a compromise. 2 values != 4 or 16 values. Some things will auto-translate better than others.

thank you so much for your responses, guys!
will definitely dive into it asap… glad to hear, that there are still so many possibilities :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

you are good people.

and @declutter: you will never get my grid, hahaha :wink: even if it gets obsolete one day, i love this thing way too much to give it away.

peace to @madeofoak as well for the inspiring video!

thanks! and yes, I’m using the earthsea module in the video (and off camera I recorded the fluttery parts with ansible running kria) but you can totally do the same thing with any grid application that just transmits midi notes which would be even better on a 256 with the extra room.

As a monobright user, I am intrigued.

20 characters of me too

Yes.

I will make a thread about this when I’m ready to.

Essentially a replacement for MAX7219 (led driver in 40h, series, gs grids) and a new firmware for the monome logic board to drive it.

Exciting news. I look forward to further details as and when they are ready!

#19

it did, varibright translation currently happens in serialosc (actually, libmonome) - levels above 7 are converted to 1 :slight_smile:

how you manage to get earthsea controlling the moog?
grid -> modular earthsea -> cv interface -> moog ?

#21

any clarification on this? I’m using /grid/led/level/map in a script which is working for both varibright folks and my 2010-ish walnut mono-bright, but it isn’t lighting up a greyscale 64 grid. I believe I’m sending 15 for on and 0 for off.

(using max and a modded serialosc object)

#22

that moog has cv in.

#23

hmm, what is the version of serialosc installed in the system?

#24

Then this should
Work in norns too.

If it doesn’t, or the default behavior is not ideal, That environment is very easy to customize.

#25

Just wanted to add that Ive had great success with using my 64 walnut with norns. I am not a programmer by far, but have had great results in modding mlr, who is made for a 128 varibright, to fit my use.

that might be a good thing to check on (paging @dude )

Hey friends,

I’ve had a few Monomes over the years. All of them have been the Walnut, non vari-light versions. I started on a 64, then went to the 128, and finally to the 256. (Who could resist more pads?!)

Since my Monome is an older version, at times I’ve had hassle getting the Max applications to work, for various reasons. Some are outdated, some depend on a particular serialOSC version, some don’t support the 256 grid… etc. Basically, a whole bunch of annoying technical things that I couldn’t be bothered fighting with when I wanted to make music. Because of that, I ended up mostly using the Grid with Mark Eats Sequencer, as it was the most reliable option.

Lately I’d been considering selling my Grid, as I was using Numerology and the Launchpad more for sequencing, but decided to give it another go. There are a few different Max applications which I couldn’t get to work before like Polygome which are really cool. However, what I’m really interested in is the support for the newer hardware options like the Eurorack modules and Norms… something which I just assumed wouldn’t work with the 256, non vari-light grid.

Could anybody give me a run-down of what bits of the newer hardware would work with my grid? I’m a bit lost as I’ve basically paid no attention to the development of all of these because I thought it wouldn’t be compatible. I have a full modular setup, so any way I can integrate the two in a different way which will be more sustainable than using legacy Max apps would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Just here to precise since you’ve mispelled it twice that it’s Monome “Norns” and not “Norms” ^^

Check out Loom for an awesome 256 norns script!

Hah, thanks. My eyesight is clearly worse than I thought.

Awesome, thanks! Just to confirm, would this work fine on a non vari-bright model?
