just got my hands on one of these... what a great little box!

basically it's 64, 128 or 256 buttons in a square with some lights that can be whatever you want it to be. all the software is open source and there is a great community sharing the tools they have made for it. step sequencers, tonal maps, beat slicers etc etc.

check it out at www.monome.org

due to their manufacturing process (it's basically 1 guy working his arse off I think), it can take a while to get one and they're fairly expensive, but definitely worth a look if you interested in innovative input devices.

I got it second hand, and there seem to be a few popping up now and again on their forum... 1 here for a start http://post.monome.org/comments.php?Dis ... e=1#Item_0

(might have been sold already though)

they changed their ordering process as well so if you wanna buy a new one you have more than a 2 minute window to get it (might have to wait a while to get it built though).

Just trying to spread a bit of monome love... really cool interface.
