you've said the same about the APC, the Launch Pad and max4Live.

what do you think of the Serato collaboration?

no I didn't. Not being interested in something isn't the same as questioning people getting excited over just a color change when there are now comparable controllers with more options for less $$.

you weren't??? I'll find the posts.

I left off Live 8 as well, you were anti-upgrade when it came out.

Well beyond the obvious aesthetic changes there will now be a bus-powered 128 with the tilt function. DOPE.

This is the bit that seemed most interesting to me.

Have recieved my Launchpad today and I am already wondering whether Novation will release a larger version

As soon as they make an all brushed aluminum unibody version of the monome I am so there....

Would it be that difficult to get more colors on the monome? even if there was only 2?

Cylob, who patches with supercollider, has been able to create a dimmer for the lights by tweaking the refresh rate of the LEDS - so he can achieve three (or 4?) states for each button including OFF. Not sure if that's been done with max/msp though.

I wonder what is up with the Octint project?

Most likely, by the the time that becomes a reality, there will already be affordable multitouch tablets adding to the picture as well. And I'm sure it will have velocity sensitivity as even iphone apps can be velocity sensitive now.

I am someone who does not care much about how music making gear looks and cares more for what it does (though I don't judge or criticize people who think otherwise). In the light of this statement, can someone tell me why I should get a monome and not a Lauchpad, assuming I am fine with having an 8x8 grid (for more, I know I need to get a monome)

Thanks,

Korhan

I'm a huge fan of the monome project but I see no reason to get a monome if Live is your main DAW. if you want to run apps without Live and can spend more money, then get a monome.

even then I'm sure they'll sell out.

Not true. There's already monopad which can make 2 Launchpads behave like 1 Monome 128:
