if robots could sing...

This is great. I hope the price on these devices comes down some day.

Like a modern day button accordion, minus the bellows.

wow!

this is so insanely fantastic, i've been dying to get my hands on one of these, and this video just makes me want one even more. please tell me, are you using the buttons to trigger the samples of your rhodes in some piece of software such as ableton?

Ooooh. Nice tune, lovely hardware.

could you please post some detail on how this was constructed? some notes about what wurli samples are assigned to what rows and how the looping of those samples are controlled? it's gorgeous, but now i gotta know how its being done. please?

each row is assigned a sample (which can be live-recorded). the light indicates the playback position. pressing a key cuts to a new playback position. a two-position press sets a loop. some rows mute other rows. rows can be transposed. rows can share samples. lots of options! the software is free: wiki.monome.org/view/AppMaxMspMlr

its a real joy to watch and even more enjoyable to listen to. you guys are really up to some serious innovation. thanks sincerely for the quick tutorial.

this is the future of music.
finally...

I saw daedalus play live the other week and he had some kind of crazy instrument which, I now realise, was one of these. very cool.

Hey this is really nice, nice notes on that Wurlitzer too, sounds great. Where can we find more of your music Tehn? That video on Youtube also sounded that great!

great stuff here man. And i'm luving the Wurlitzer as well. Just wondering... what app are you running, and where is it from?

thanks! it's mlr:

This is absolutely gorgeous. Inspiring for sure!

this is seriously amazing.

That shit is off the hook. Good work.

Masterful performance...I often find myself watching this...

Beautiful, marvelous, awesome! This is the video that makes me buy a monome.

This is a mind-blowing piece of music..... Any chance this would be available for download?

Impressive. Every day I think I need a monome urgently.

yup, this still makes me want to fall in love.

Seriously beautiful - love it. Where can I listen to more? Is there an album to be bought/downloaded somewhere?
