I still wish I had one of the first run, I like the slightly bigger buttons and I like the apple look (lame I know) but they are wayyyy too expensive second hand.

I guess my 128 will have to be enough...

hehe

does anyone know of a competing product. i need something with a bunch of midi buttons. thats it, just buttons. just like the monome, with out the ridiculous price tag, and all the crazy software.

How many buttons do you need?
Would the Faderfox LX2 be a solution?

or the old one, different layout but no leds, the LX1?:

Still around 200€ - but a lot cheaper compared to the monome.

do your buttons need to light up? if not, i'm loving the korg nano pad...$60USD, 12 velocity pads that are assignable to note or cc. i'm reasonably sure you can hook up more than one at once. get clever with a usb hub and superglue and you could make yourself el monome mas gigante.

very nice, although.... why is it so deep? Seems like it's built to fit the monome and a bunch of other stuff.

I still don't udnerstand why the hell these are SO expensive and why there isn't a competition for them. A cheap one.
