An open, tactile instrument that allows the user to imagine and define its function.
The monome grid by default does nothing. Connected to a computer or module, interaction is determined by the chosen application: sequencer, sample cutter, tone map, polyrhythm machine. We’ve put together studies to help you create your own.
Resources for connecting to:
- norns - sound computer made by monome
- computer - macOS, Windows, and Linux
- modular - Eurorack modules which support the grid
Additional information:
- serialosc - an OSC server to connect a grid to your macOS, Windows or Linux machine
- firmware - late 2022 through early 2024 grid update
- editions - information about different device generations
- disassembly - guides for disassembling the hardware
- care - some suggestions for device maintenance (tl;dr: don’t rest other gear on top of grid, as it will discolor pads)
- bus power upgrade - some very early grid models had external power, they can be updated
