I'm really curious what the new mlr has to offer...especially in terms with the 256.
on 02.09.2007 01:52
Thanks Tehn.Now it is my new windows wallpaper ;) ..I`m happy...of course.256...

mlr = think more channels with higher granularity (16 cut points vs. 8)
on 02.09.2007 09:29
looks amazing! how many mlr channels can the 256 support?

It looks gorgeous. I'm really looking forward to it!

dig the pics and the video. this marks a tremendous occasion - the first time we see something other than just hands and forearms in a monome video! nice work with the wurlitzer too.

seconded. very nice. noticeably thicker than the 40h as well - will the 64 be that thick? not a good or bad thing, just a comment. thanks for turning me on to vimeo too - that site blow youtube out of the water.

the new series is actually only 0.25" taller than the 40h. thanks for the kind words everyone.

absolutely beautiful. i swear it has to be one of the best looking interfaces I can imagine.

thanks for the kind words. we're looking forward to touring a bit so people can touch and hold them in person.

First posting... just a quick hello to everybody. Both the 256 & 128 certainly appear to be a lovely bits o' kit. Nice work indeed. I'll have to consult my accountant (ie girlfriend) to see how one of these can be squeezed into our budget ;) Additionally wanted to say 'hello' to Kid Sputnik whom I seem to remember from the Reaktor forums! Have a great night. John-Paul (was also pleasantly surprised to see that you guys like to make felt! more on this later)

This has really got my MIDI finger/Preorder finger itching... I am really glad I didn't jump on the Monome Kits. What I wanted to do looks like a crummy version of the 128. Can't wait to get my mits on one. Nice work, Monomen!

heh, i was wondering if that was you when i first saw john-paul at the start of the post... hey jp, how you doing? i hope you pick up one of the new devices whe they come out (or even a used 40h, for that matter), i got lots of Reaktor/monome treats to play with!

Things are going well. Currently busy working for the man.. which soaks up an inordinate amount of time and energy that I'd rather spend on other pursuits. But, my life isn't exactly full of hardship.. so one cannot complain about that! I've been very keen on picking up some Monome gear for quite some time... I'll work towards saving at least for a shiny new 128 (or possibly a 256). Though, my first priority is to grab a new laptop near the end of the year (ultra-portable is my new schtick!). So.. I hope the new Monome boxes sell fast.. but not too fast! :) I'm beginning to lean towards wanting to do interactive installation works with a mixture of audio/photography & input devices (from both modern and archaic sources) -- so I'm planning to brush up my serial interface chops (learn some C++ or possibly Java) and then go the Max/Msp route (though I still use Reaktor a lot). I'm sure it will be a huge commitment of time and money.. but worth it in the end. Pretty small place this 'internet thing' huh? Pleased (and also a little envious) ;) to see that you're working on such a cool project.

Sounds cool, jp! whats your e-mail? or, better yet, send me one, its kid_sputnik at yahoo, i dont think we should be tunring this thread into a reunion.
