Monome emulator app? (Possibly obvious question from a complete dumbass)

I'm sorry, I'm not a technical person. I can work a computer, and I can do a whole lot with Reason, but that's about it. That being said, I'm really interested in a monome but am too afraid to jump right in and by one on the salary of highschool student. Which is why I became really excited upon seeing this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8Rnkbcjr4M

It's a video of some guy who's "testing some monome apps before making the plunge". It looks something like a monome emulator or something that he's using on reason. You can see about halfway through the clip that there is a Subtractor under it. The app says it was "modified by kempton m."

Does anybody know what this thing is? I've been doing some googlin' for about an hour now and can't find much. Is it ridiculously difficult to setup? Does it work on Windows XP? Is this an obvious question that everyone here knows the answer to? Am I wasting your time?

If somebody could get back to me I would really appreciate it, I'll check back here later

the app you saw was part of the monome base package available here:

http://monome.org/data/app/base

you will need the max/msp runtime to use it.

in the 'routers' folder of the monome base package, there is a file called monome40h_fake.mxb, double click it, then open any other *.mxb patch and you will have a system similar to what you would have with a real monome device.

I'm the guy who posted the youtube video. I took the "fake" monome app included in the base package and i edited it by mapping the buttons to computer keyboard keys. I also did one mapping the buttons to a mp3 buttons. The reason for this is I wanted to get a feel for what it was like to trigger multiple things at the same time, which you couldn't do with the standard "fake". I'd be glad to post the modified app if it would be helpful to people.

> Where's the multi-touch MacTablet JOBS!?!

seriously, i would have been wayyyyyy more down with a multi-touch mac tablet that's ultra portable than this macbook air business.

anyone else find the price points of the two different models amusing?

sure, the high end one has an SSD hard drive, but that doesn't change the level of amusement i get from seeing base model at $1799 and the next step up at $3000+

wtg apple.

alright, I posted my modified "fake" monome on my site, here is a link:

http://www.geocities.com/fkmooney/apps/__40h_fake_w_holdv2.mxb

Just take the file and put it in the base folder with the other "fake". The mod is that i mapped row 2 to 12345678, row 3 to qwertyui, row 4 to asdfghjk, row 5 to zxcvbnm,, and then 6 is qwerty with the shift on, and so on. row one is 0-=(del)[](up)(dow). I did it this way because i wanted to try MLR.

I also have another version mapped to an mpc, as well as some other little apps on my site located here:

Brian, if you don't like the idea of emulators floating around, I'm glad to take them down, just let me know. I am hoping to get a 40h this round, so I won't have much use for them after that!

i couldn't get you keyboard fakeome to work. there's also no slot for a prefix. is that an issue? looks handy though.

i guess i just can't get it to work.
i put it in the routers folder. when i open it, then an app, then hit some keys...
nothing.

with MLR, I found that the standalone was the easiest to run

get the demo of the full max/msp.
there you can edit the prefix inside the faky one

ok so now i have this working fully fledged! im making a new thread about it because this is super awesome
