Monome. THE Monome is a reconfigurable grid of two-fifty-six backlit buttons. The buttons can be configured as toggles, radio groupings, sliders, or organized into more sophisticated systems to monitor and trigger sample playback positions, stream 1-bit video, interact with dynamic physical models, and play games & much more. Monome: Developed by Brian Crabtree (Tehn) Monome is a small Philadelphia-based hardware company that makes controllers for electronic music performance and new media art. Their first product, 40h, is an eight-by-eight grid of backlit buttons, which connects to a Mac or PC using a USB cable and the OpenSound Control protocol. Originally developed as an open ended performance interface for electronic music, its developers have said "The wonderful thing about this device is that it doesn't do anything really,".[1] As a result developers have begun to use it as an interface for other types of software, you can even play games on it. The 40h was released on May 1, 2006, though units were available in person at the release party at Asphodel and Maker Faire. Four hundred 40h units were made and all were sold by May 2007. A kit version of the 40h has been made available twice, both sets selling out. The second run of 100, made available on November 30, 2007, sold in under 24 hours. The two fifty six (16×16) was available, but was sold out by November 7, 2007. The one twenty eight (16×8) was made available on December 14, 2007; 80 of which sold in the first fifteen minutes, the rest selling in the next few hours.[2] A new sixty four, to replace the 40h, was made available on January 25, 2008 and sold out in two minutes.  ***Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia*** DAEDELUS using the Monome two-fifty-six Monome Design: new custom silicone rubber keypads bright orange backlighting clear anodized aluminum top plate, no visible screws hand-crafted black walnut enclosure black rubber bottom lining for non-slip Monome Specifications: model two fifty six elements 16 by 16 (256 total) dimensions 10.75 by 10.75 by 1.5 inches materials 6061 anodized aluminum, translucent silicone, conductive silicone, hand-crafted black walnut, lead-free components and circuit boards interface usb 2.0 power external power supply (included, rated international) platforms os x, windows xp, linux THESE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER DEVICES HAVE BEEN SELLING ON EBAY FOR MORE THAN DOUBLE THEIR RETAIL PRICE.
