Cobbled this together from the press release. Hot, hot, hot!!!

Matthew Davidson (Stretta) has released a suite of seven Max For Live devices that are designed to work together in any combination or number of instances within a maxforlive project.

Heres’ how Davidson describes the members of the suite:

1. obo – my matrix step sequencer. usable on any monome, or even monomeless operation(!)
2. pitches – this is like polygomé without the step sequencer bits (like fourths/malbahabla for you monome-people). Transforms your monome into a playable surface.
3. polygomé 64 – I think you know what this is by now. bleep boop bleep.
4. press cafe – this version is based on press cafe 2.0 that has been redesigned and re-oriented more sensibly to make it playable with any size monome. “HEY! This makes music!” – my wife Nov 29, 2009
5. spectral display – adapted from tehn’s vu_spec, there is a version for every size monome. Drop it on a track (or more) and watchen das blinkenlites.
6. step filter – once upon a time I built a step sequencer application and used it to control a doepfer vocoder filter bank. Now the filter bank is built-in. Usable with any size monome, but limited to eight bands.
7. automatorgator – there are two versions of this plug in for the 256, the audio version is a monome-controlled pattern gate with adjustable volume levels and slew. The MIDI version generates MIDI CC and OSC messages smoothed out at a high resolution for gooey OSC goodness.

Yeah, I posted a link to this guy's blog a little while back. Great to see the patches are now available. Hmm. Could be finally time to get M4L, lol.

Whouaw, looks awesome!
I'll be hard to wait this evening to give it a try

Know the feeling; I made the mistake of downloading them on a Sunday night - the next thing I Knew it was nearly 6am!

So does this work with the Launchpad and if what else is required ? I still cant find any info on this on the net. If it works i would even buy m4l finally.

Cheers

If not, you'll need Monome emulator,

or
NomePad (M4L patcher): http://max4live.info/content/nomepad-monome-emulator

Thanks yop,

guess its time to buy M4L after all.

Cheers

we need Launch Pad 256! (or I would name it "16 squared")

I've been looking everywhere for Stretta's Maxforlive Monome Suite to download but his blog has been closed. Is there anywhere else I could get it from?

hope he doesn't mind :

....hmmm... it's a shame he closed the blog.. I quite liked it..

Thanks for this - you're a star! I've just got a launchpad and I'm trying to understand the whole monome emulation thing. Hopefully with NOMEpad these should work?

Thanks - ive been looking for a couple of these in M4L form!

I use a stripped down version of monomeemu
(set to work with 1 Launchpad)

cheers... have fun !

I'm struggling to follow the instructions (video included) to get monomeemu and the OBO patch working with my new launchpad. the LP initialises ok and I can navigate using the arrow keys, but I get no midi input/output on the lauchpad when playing. It could be down to the autoconfig as my version of obo doesn't seem to have the prefix box appear as per Stretta's vid for the routing???

Should I be running touchOSC or another Max runtime behind all this? I got polygome running ok, but am keen to get the nonome and monomeemu patches running.

Boy is this M4L frustrating for non developer type like me. Someone should post a how to guide to the whole system, its way too vague and assumes you know the internal workings of Max and M4L way too much

HELP?

Yes - I'm having the same problems as you by the sounds of it and am also a non-developer. Any help would be much appreciated!
