Hi everyone.

I'm just about pulling our hair out trying to get this to work.

The problems arise when we try to use a MIDI keyboard with the monome in
live.  Monogrid still works, you can select the "pages" using the bottom
row, but all the other buttons make a generic piano sound and Ableton no
longer registers the midi inputs from chuck (or is it monomeserial?).

We wired the monome to ableton by installing first midi yoke, monome
serial in OSC mode, and running chuck in command line using monogrid.ck.
The monome works just as monogrid wants it to.

Our system:
Windows on a bootcamped macbook
Ableton 6.0
Mackie Onyx sattelite audio
Edirol USB 1x1

I'd highly appreciate any assistance in figuring this out and
subsequently preserving my awesome hair.

We are catching a plane for a gig in about .... 12 hours, any help would
be awesome.

do a chuck --probe when the midi keyboard is disconnected, and compare 
it to a chuck --probe with it connected.  I think you'll find that the 
entries in [0] and [1] have been shifted.  You'll have to make the 
correct selection in the monogrid script for the midiyoke output.

why use windows on a bootcamped macbook?

drivers? or just cause it's easier to find torrents for pc software?

I usually read that ableton performs better bootcamped to windows than 
in osx

well, afaik bootcamped Windows is the same as regualr windows, right?  i 
mean, its running on hardware that windows uses (x86 dual core).  thats 
what ive heard.  parallels is another story.

yeah, bootcamped windows is the same as windows on anything.

i don't have live, so i don't read up on it too much, but i guess 
performance would be a good reason.

on a mac that implies bootcamp

not comparing windows to windows really
