Monomes!

[Neutron]

you can send an autocad drawing, mine was just a PDF with a couple of changes explained in an email.
i think they are pretty open to many types of model/drawing

Its called RFQwork.com they have section for milling and laser/waterjet if you dont need any profiles.

don't take the first quotes you get the first guys i got wanted up to 4 times what the guy who i ended up going with wanted. i got 2 plates and shipped to Canada for $110

or i could just give you that guys email

Yep thats right. A DIY Monome is way more authentic than a readymade Tenori on.

Um..wut?
they are completely different things. tenori on has an advantage of being self contained and easy to get going on. monome has advantage of being user programmable and open source. they look the same but are as different a say, a workstation synth and a MIDI keyboard.

im sure yamaha could add some other programs in the firmware if they left enough memory. and they dont just abandon it like the FS1R(grr)

RFQwork.com
the site has shops bidding from Europe, Canada, AUS and China as well.(thats just what i saw when i visited) some american shops get kinda pissed off when they get undercut by china.

front panel express wanted a lot more money as well.

Just in case you don't have one I meant something like this -

These tools aren't expensive btw.

lol im a tool addict. i bought a dremel http://www.dremel.com/en-us/Tools/Pages ... ating+Tool today "because it was the last one"
so i dont need much convincing to buy that

I can't wait to see what you come up with Neutron.
The word Yamaha reeks of consumer.
DIY and 3rd party is definately the way to go.

Thanks Neutron, I'll check it out. I'd definitely be looking for someone in Europe or ideally in the UK. There's the German company Schaeffer that make really nice anodized alu panels like this:-

... but they're quite expensive.

I had one of those deburring tools years ago, but I've got no idea where it is now. At one point all (well most) of my tools were stolen in a hotel carpark in London docklands & I had to replace them all, so I probably just never replaced that item.

You speaking about the dremel has just reminded me that I've got a jewelers pendant drill somewhere that I've been meaning to get set up for ages. It's one of those crazy things like a dentists drill with a foot pedal etc. Yes, I'm a tool addict too...

The first one is done!

Theres this VSTi called "molar" which lets you slice and dice samples with the monome. its super fun

[petal]

Nice work there

[Neutron]

Thanks i am having a lot of fun and now neglecting any work in scope SDK

if anyone wants to try any monome apps you can use it with this emulator which uses your computer keyboard (mac/pc)

I want one.I try to order the "one twenty eight" right away.I guess it will take a while till i get it.
I am going to sell my sac 2.2 for it as i am moving to a complete new workflow with the monome and a behringer cheapo faderbox.If anyone wants the sac pm me before it goes to the bay.They arent for sale very often.

[Neutron]

Just a heads up.If you want a 128,they are open for orders tomorrow 1 pm est.

[Neutron]

i wonder how long its going to take to sell out this time!

[dawman]

Brotha' Man Neutron,
Do you know if the ksd app. ( max/msp ) can store a MIDI Phrase sequence for each button on a Monome 64?
I am trying to understand monome a little more before I make a purchase, but this seems like a great little live tool.
Especially if it syncs to BPM's.
That's just one application, this thing seems incredibly versatile.

[Neutron]

no i have not tried ksd yet. most of the time i use "molar" which is a mangler/slice n dice vst.
ill have a look this weekend

[Fluxpod]

I think i got one They sold out in less than a minute i think..

[Neutron]

well done!

they sold out in 4 minutes lol
thats a quick way to collect $80,000!

[Fluxpod]

Indeed.

[Fluxpod]

I hope i got one...not sure atm.

[Neutron]

if the google checkout went through most likely you did.

[Fluxpod]

Yeah i think it worked. I had to pay another 80 bucks because i missed the europe shipping option in the hurry... Cant wait to get it.

[Neutron]
