so c1978 and i wrapped up our DIY monomes today. his dad helped us with
the wood working ans we got some sweet aluminum top plates (sans rounded
corners) for pretty stinking cheap.

we're both very stoked here's a video of us having an impromptu jam out…
with limited sample resources we had. looking forward to getting deeper
into the programming and stuff… let the fun begin.

c1978 witll upload some more pictures of our monomes together nd when i
get home ill do some "product: shots of mine. super fun everyone!

tehn great job with the kits man. i'm really pumped.

that's awesome, call in sick tomorrow and have some fun!  cool that you 
got the apps up and running, no problems, that's good to see.

so what do dads think of the monome stuff?  mine's nearly 60 and it's 
not even worth beginning explaining it all.

both devices look fantastic.  excellent job folks!  nice video, looks 
like you guys were having some dual-laptop flip love?

yeh flip seemed to be the easiest t get rolling for complete n00bs. we 
were having a blast.

we were havin so much fun baking in the sun, building these suckers, we 
forgot to keep the photos rollin, but you'll get the idea. my pops loved 
helping us out, he's already asking when we're getting 2 more so he can 
help build a modular wooden case for them to slip in and out of. haha. 
big thanks to him. and damn this thing is fun...

nice job guys! i dig the wooden enclosures

soul mates. <3<3<3 hahah.

This looks great, one thing I'm still wondering about is how did you 
attached the usb port, I havn't seen it on the pictures.

hope this makes some sense for you. we basically have the cable coming 
out from a hand carved notch in the side of the case. its being held in 
place by the bottom plate with a knot tied behind it on the inside.

amazing job guys. nice woodwork  skills. is this the first confirmed 
completed kit  with enclosure? is there a prize?

so flin's playing the moog? shweet.

looking at that photo of the USB cable - is it not disconnectable?

the usb cable is semi permanent. to disconnect youd have to unscrew the 
bottom plate and then unplug it. we were going back and forth on what 
would work best. and came to the conclusion that it wouldnt bug us at 
all to have the cable coming out of a small hole from the side. dunno 
bout you, but im not gonna have this thing unplugged very often. haha.

I ended up tying down the USB cable for my novation SL25 because it 
wasn't a tight fit, that was a year ago, no worries.  it's kinda nice 
because when there's a bunch of USB cable ends lying around I know for 
sure which is the SL.

on the whole i think c1978 and i decided that alot of the simple wood 
working traditional decisions were the best. We started thinking we were 
gonna cnc and ended up with the chop saw… i feel alot closer to my 
monome than i think i would have had i used a $10,000 machine to make 
mine. cant really explain it we just feel like we have alot invested in 
ours.

glad you guys like em. get out there and finish yours! i wanna see em 
fewls!

<jealous>  ooh, voyager!  </jealous>

=)

nice work! wish i could see it in person. we'll be doing the residency 
at machine again this coming spring, but that's months from now...

keep posting video.

Not only the 10,000 machine issue, but from a woodworking standpoint - 
the mitered frame is the correct decision!

Nice job

figured id try syncing up the ol' midi retrofitted speak and spell and
seeing what came out. this seemed to have worked out nicely. oh yes oh
yes. what a tasty crusty beat indeed.

cant wait to see whatchya guys come up with when you get em done. cíao!

Hi guys,

Thought I'd ul my temporary enclosure for my new monome (whohee)
Since I'm planning to use it for visuals I thought my matrox dualheadbox 
would be ideal.

LOL that's pretty cool.
