New links to clear up CrossPack Versions and Serial Number changing

Looks like the 2012 version of Crosspack adds an extra 1kb to the compiled arduino-usbserial.hex file. This causes the file to be too large, and overlap with the Arduino DFU Bootloader. Using the older 2010 version seems to solve this issue. Additionally, we found an easier “all in one” command for building the .hex file, [...]

New Chronome Firmware and Libmonome update

This update fixes stuck notes from the chronome and adds smoother pressure data. Let me know if there are any issues that pop up. Download and install the new firmware https://sourceforge.net/projects/thechronome/, and then rebuild and install the new libmonome. cd libmonome git pull make clean ./configure make sudo make install **note: if you have already [...]

Update to Arduinome Firmware and Serial Number Instructions

We just updated the Arduinome firmware from a .pde  to a .ino file, as well as some other small fixes. Let us know if there are any issues with uploading the firmware using Arduino version 1.0 We also updated the Arduinome parts list and instructions for changing the UNO serial number.

Updated Information on Changing Arduino 2560 Serial Number

Thanks to GreaterThanZero for helping out with his thoughts on the process. We’ve updated the instructions to help clarify putting the boards in DFU mode, checking to see if they are in SFU mode, and how to see if the new Serial Number has taken.

Updated Firmware and chronome/libmonome

Made some major changes to the serial protocol for the chronome. It now fully supports the ROW, COL, and MAP calls with rotation. I’ve also tried to add a basic debounce to grid/key messages. These changes require the new firmware (version 1.12) to be loaded onto the arduino, and for the new chronome/libmonome to be [...]

Streaming Chopper in Reaktor

The ATChopperV2.ens is a Reaktor patch that streams in audio and allows you to chop, or re-sequence the audio in real time. The chops are all set to a quantized grid based off of the host tempo (similar to how MLR works, but as a VST). Additionally, the buttons 0-7 can be mapped to MIDI [...]

New MLR version in Reaktor

Our friend David Howe just finished his first version of MLR for Reaktor.

Highlight video from the LA Monomeet

Was awesome to see so many monomers doing their thing, and now thanks to Charlie Visnic everyone can check out some cool highlights from the show. Thanks again to everyone who helped to organize the night. Looking forward to hanging at the next one.  

New Chronome Video from Tim Landauer

Tim Landauer has finished building one of the first Chronomes from the new batch of PCBs. He’s built a max patch to show some of the color changing. Check out his video here.

Added OSC Protocol page

I just added a page to show the OSC protocol currently supported by the chronome. For consistency and ease of understanding, I based it off of the monome OSC protocol page. I’ll continue to update it as I add more support.
