The RGB Monome Clone Means Live Music Performance Time!

If you a music lover or even a music player, then you will be very pleased to see those interface that keep sparkling and moving around, when the music is on. Instead of just only talking how much you’re adored about it, is better to develop a RGB Monome Clone!

Oh, you must think that it will be a tough task, but the truth is not as hard as you’ve thought here!

For the real interface, you’re should consider to use Ableton Live software, as this is so far the best software, where it can provide high quality intuitive music performance. You also will need to use a BCR2000, where it will use as the volume, fx and mute controllers!

Beside that, you might be interested about this feature: feedback about the clip matrix and control of the clips. Well, this feature will send information about clips presence and clip types. Furthermore, it can be used to receive start/stop triggering as well! You won’t need to use any screen if you have the above feature. Cool, isn’t it?

Ok guys, I hope you all will enjoy the project and have fun with it!

    Hello

    Thank you to link my website.

    I have to say that I did tests this weekend and RGB support will be released VERY soon!
    fast, no flickering, stable etc!

    All the framework works fine.

    I’ll update my website soon!

    cheers!

    firmware w/ series protocol, w/ rgb support for SPI backpack sparkfun ::: RELEASED!

    one of the 3 possibilities of serial/osc router I investigate on ::: RELEASED

    http://www.julienbayle.net/diy/LiveInterface/#rgb

    more infos soon
    schematics too (but pins forbackpack are in the code)
    new releases optimized new serial router soon too!

    this project is named: [b][bon]ome[/b]

    [bon]ome is a collaborative project based on the popular monome and inspired by those genius folks from arduinome project (Jordan/Owen/Ben!)

    it involves this hardware:
    1 arduino board
    8×8 RGB leds matrix soldered on sparkfun PCB 4×4 (x4)
    1 sparkfun backpack with SPI interface

    there are 2 parts:
    - firmware for the Arduino board (1.0 bt)
    - serial/osc router

    actually, the serial router works fine and is coded with Python-Twisted framework (thanks a lot Devon!)

    I’m working on a C based version that begins to wokr fine… I have to tweak that.
    I’d like to code a java (via processing IDE) and compare performance

    The link on my site is: http://www.julienbayle.net/diy/LiveInterface/#rgb
    I’m waiting for the approval for my account/project on sourceforge
    All will be on https://sourceforge.net/projects/bonome/ asap !!

    All the best,
    Julien
