Bumping for anybody new who missed this way back. Time is still a go-to for me.

I’m thinking about selling all my gear except the 128. The only thing that keeps me away from doing so is that there’s no Kria for Max for Live…

norns is your future :sparkles:

hi does the arcs 2 work with the Terms ableton stuffs?

#96

Hello, I have Grids Varibright, and am pretty new to the whole Monome Concept.

I’m having trouble sorting a few things, and I’d really appreciate any help I can get. Thanks

  1. SAVING/STORING - I’m wanting to store or save some of the sequences I’m creating for later use. I haven’t quite figured out how to do this in Max or Max for Live Terms. I see a store option but it doesn’t seem to do anything.

  2. MULTI-TRACK SEQUENCING - Are any of the sequencers Multi-Track or Instrument rather? I’d love to be able to sequence multiple instruments on multiple tracks. Like my Squarp Pyramid, but with the uniqueness and variety that Monome patchers offer.

  3. ABLETON LIVE SYNC - What Is the best way to get audio into Ableton Live and sync it to Live Tempo? I’m using soundflower right now and that works fine for audio but not sure how to sync time with Ableton, besides using Terms, which obviously doesn’t have all apps, meadowphysics for one.

  4. COPY/PASTE SEQUENCES - Would also love to be able to copy/paste sequences into other “tracks”. Is that possible in any of the apps?

  5. AUTOMATION - Do have any options for automating anything in any apps. (i.e. filter cutoff, resonance, adsr, etc…)

Ultimately, I’d really love to use this a Multi-Instrument/Multi-Track Sequencer/Sampler for a few pieces of gear. I just need a few basic operations … SYNC, SAVING, COPY/PASTE, AUTOMATION? I realize this is in Max and isn’t clearly cut out for me (that’s part of the fun/creating), but I’m just really new and want to get down some basic functionality down first before I start trying to write anything.

Thank you for any time.

Best

Hello Monome friends,

I use Live 10 and Terms-Step in order to play a Monome 256 with synth plugins and a Monome 128 for the Abletom internal drum rack.

However sometimes the Monome 256 plays the drums the 128 is supposed to play as well and vice versa.

What can I do to solve the problem so that both Monomes just play their own track?

Thanx.

Hi there!

I´m using two Grid Monomes (256 wood and 128 wood) when I perform live.

I use Ableton Live 10 Suite as DAW, an APC 40 MK2 and an UAD Apollo Twin interface. Terms Step is the app I´m using to play the two Monomes.

The Monome 256 is supposed to play several Arturia synthesizers where I want to play arpeggios on the fly and the Monome 12 is there for playing 808 and 909 drum sounds with the support of the Instrument Rack (please see both screenshots of the set up).

The issue is that the upper half of the „256“ buttons also play the drum sounds of the Drum Rack together with the Arturia synths ALTHOUGH I have set up two separate tracks for each sound class. The lower half plays only synthesizer sounds so that for what reason ever the „256“ takes over the job of the „128“.

What am I doing wrongly? Any idea? Thanx in advance.

I think the autofocus should be disabled to make it work

#100

Do you have the two monome devices on separate tracks?

#101

Yes. Sure. They are on two different tracks with Terms Step but they play partly the same.

#102

Thanx for the hint. Could be the right idea indeed. How to?

#103

Im probably wrong, but i think autofocus should be on and with the “track” on setting; so when you change the selected track in ableton the monome “focuses” on the monome device in that track.
Another option is to open the max devices and add — “3 dashes” but that can be tedious

Unfort. not the solution :frowning:

Hi,

Is there something like a scene number limitation on Launchd? Seems I can’t scroll through more then around 200 (ok it’s a long track) :slight_smile: scenes on 128 using Nav button even if there are more clips in the session below. Would appreciate any help!

Thanks!

Ok it’s exactly 128 scenes - maximum I can play using Monome 128?

I just got max for live and downloaded the terms M4L package. I’m trying to use Flin, but my grid doesn’t show any activity. I re-downloaded serialosc on my computer and didn’t have any luck. Tried following the read-me, but the page is now non-existent
( http://monome.org/docs/app/terms ).

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I know that terms is pretty old now - is it not updated for Live 10?

hi! apologies for the readme redirect – I’ve added it to the docs todo list. were you directed to Terms from the Ableton site? thankfully the search bar up top of monome.org/docs still indexed it and it is correctly linked through the grid + computer applications list. here it is, in case you didn’t find it: https://monome.org/docs/grid/app/terms/

as far as serialosc troubleshooting, I’d encourage going through these steps to make sure serialosc is working beyond terms: https://monome.org/docs/serialosc/setup/

feel free to email help@monome.org to troubleshoot!

Sounds good. I found it through the search bar. I’ll give it a shot!

Edit: That did it. Thanks!

I have looked and have seen similar topics, but many different kinds of answers. Essentially I’m running The newest Ableton 9.6.1 64 bit with the latest Mac OS 10.11.4.

I’m getting the monome to work in Live, although it’s not recording midi events. I’ve seen some people say you need to use another Max device, others have said they needed a library file… Just very confused how to proceed to have midi events record to Ableton. I’m primarily looking to use Terms, but would love to find more. It appears I can’t use Pages since its for 32 bit?

Thanks for any help!

this is the way ableton works. clip -> device chain. and since the m4l device sits in the device chain, it comes after the active clip of the channel. you need another midi channel and route the other channel to it (select the source in the input dropdown). then record there.

Thank you. Pretty simple solution. Funny as I have to do that to get Midi out of Reaktor, you’d think I would tried that with the monome.
