That's a damn good deal man. I noticed he upped the price of the kits. I pre-ordered on the initial run so I got my kit for like $68 + $50 for the bliptronic. I've seen quite a few apps that tun the launchpad into a monome too. Mmmhmm... went on a splurge and bought max for live as well... currently trying to setup SevenUp Live. That's exactly my setup on the bliptronome man =) Been having fun just messing with it, hella quick and easy to lay down beats too!

awepittance Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 yeah to my knowledge the monome is not, that's the only one i've had experience using. i just think until touch screens respond in a tactile fashion where they actually feel like buttons they aren't going to fully replace things like the monome.

sneaksta303 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 it would be really hard for blinds to use touchscreens too.

Yeah monome's arent velocity sensitive either, at least the older models that I am aware of. I was talking with Deadelus about his before a show about what he liked/didnt like, he said his would be perfect if it had velocity sensitive pads. That's my only gripe with the LP, when I was using it I really began to miss the pads on my Maschine.

I agree... plus these touchscreens are going to need to be built to take a beating. Watch most live performers with an MPC/APC/Monome/KontrolPad/LP/etc ... they rock it hard with them... some even use drum sticks. The only area I see fit for touch screen would be for sliders.

That's my only gripe with the LP, when I was using it I really began to miss the pads on my Maschine. This is why I kept my PadKontrol and built the mini-monome, I have the best of both worlds. I easily program a back beat on the bliptronome and then do crazy cuts over the top using the PK. I'm running NativeKontrol software on it to turn it into a sort of launchpad I guess. I can launch clips/scenes, mute channels, record a clip on the fly etc, but it also has a drumpad mode too. It's really nice. I just painted the PK black too so it looks super sleek Edited May 11, 2010 by hautlle Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Hautlle's signature Hide all signatures Albums/EPs Free to DL or stream Newest stuff is on Soundcloud Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/53641-monome-on-the-cheap/page/2/#findComment-1321779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iamabe Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 sorry, i didnt mean to talk about the monome, launchpad etc (despite this being a monome discussion thread), just that as a rule for my gear, I like hardware interfaces. I like buttons that click in, pads with velocity, rubber feel... etc. Touch screens just don't really interest me yet, though I am sure I will change my mind one day. I would love a monome or 8x8/16x16 grid type controller for some really fast step sequencing. there's nothing like sequencing drums on a big grid to see relationships between parts...
