Am i wrong thinking, if i would make a patch that my launchpad is sending the exact same msgs a monome is sending... i could use all the monome patches with my launchpad...

who could tell me where to get the information on what msgs a monome is sending...

if so..

it connects with max by its own protocol, with monome serial, as mr. raja has kindly put on.

you can change the different connection from osc, or midi in the 'monome serial'.

more than likely it will be sending the same messages, but in turn may have some differences. such as instead of a line of buttons being 0.0.1, 0.0.2 and so on. it may just be slightly off from that, being 0.1.1, 0.1.2, if you get me?

but then again, the only way to know for sure is to try it out for yourself. if you have the launchpad already, just dissect some monome patches and see what happens.

even that or take out what the monome is feeding in and replace it with what the launchpad is spooging out.

Yeah, the monome OSC documentation and the Launchpad MIDI docs are both pretty complete.

Basically the communication goes like this:

Where [emulator] is a simple Max patch that translates MIDI into OSC and back.

It is pretty trivial to write a patch that either makes a virtual monome, or allows a Launchpad to emulate one. The only real problem is that the Launchpad is so much slower than the monome that it has a hard time keeping up with apps that drive the LEDs heavily.

There is a monome emulator for Launchpad patch floating around on the monome site called nonome, and the monome basic set patches include a fake monome patch as well.

I'm having problems with the on-screen display, but the actual OSC decoding and MIDI sending is working fine. Have a look at the patch, it makes it pretty clear how the OSC and the MIDI stuff works.

an hour or 2 after is posted this thread i found such a monome emulator..

its the nonome-launchpad edition 1.16a... works great...

but ill give yours a shot to now, gpvillamil

and.. lewis g. edwards.. you said you USED to own a monome..

iam thinking about buldig my own 250h.( if this is the one with 16*16 grid)

but iam having a hard time to find a reliable part list, i found some information on the kits at monome.org.. but it seems like the only sold those kits for the 40h.. am i right?

iam not sure if they sell kits at the moment, but i would need it to be shipped to germany.. probalby going to be v expensive..

thanks for the replies...

why did you sell it?

how much did you pay for the kit?

well i got rid of it for a fews reasons. what with the is crap economy, i got rid of a lot of my studio gear. mostly the ones not being used a lot. a shame yes, but i would rather eat and rest easy than keep everything and be homeless

i think the monome is great, but in the end, it was not for me. i am not a big buttons kind of guy. i prefer dials, much more useful for me. although the monome is great, dont get me wrong.

plus once i got my machine drum, the monome was just gathering dust, so best to liberate to someone else than keep it in a cupboard.

instead i am just going to build a controller myself. i done all the hunting of what i need and it will be a hind-sight cheaper than what other people are selling.

i plan to make a few controllers and sell them, but at a really good price and reasonable for what they are.

you could easily build your own version of the huge monome for a lot less than what it is being sold for. you just have to do some hunting for the parts. the biggest cost can actually be the case and the buttons (to get the right ones). depending if you want a nice one or just a cheap-o one

im almost done building an arduinome.it comes out to only slightly cheaper than the 40h kit and is very significantly more time consuming. i would suggest purchasing the 40h kit above trying to realize the arduinome.

fake monome patches.. and what they do
