I have two 64 grayscales and would like to use them together as a 128. Mainly for terms and 16 bar drum patterns. Is this a hassle to setup, or an easy solution?

Modern alternative to Griddle for merging monomes/arduinomes?

I have essentially done the same thing with two diy 40h grids. It’s not super hard - but you do need to be prepared to do some hacking inside Max for Live, so if don’t own a full Max/MSP licence and you’re relying on ready made devices, then this journey may not be for you.

The main steps are to add in a second device selector and to put some logic around that so that any output from the terms patch (for example) to the grid gets split and translated to the relevant physical grid. Likewise any input from one of the grids gets translated so that it appears to come from a 128 instead of a 64.

I’ll see if I can dig up the example mids I’ve done - I never tried to mod terms, but I think the same technique should work.

monome serial used to support offsets for individual devices, which would handle this without any special max programming.

but, looking at the osc docs for serialosc, it doesn’t actually look like that feature made it over… maybe there was a good reason why?

yeah it seems like the best solution would be if it functioned as a 128 at the root level, and everything else just knew it was a 128.

#5

I’ve done some minor tweaking inside of max for live, but I dont think I own the full license. You can edit things in Max for Live, i’m not sure what the limits are.
I mainly would like to use the terms step sequencer for drum patterns.

@tehn or @wrl, was there a reason for omitting this? seems like it’d also be helpful for turning two modern grids into a 256
