plane m | vi | cv released
Back from Los Angeles. Plane m | vi | cv was in a mostly-done state, but I was monomeless whilst traveling, so I worked on things that had nothing to do with the monome. Basically this meant working on the user interface. Usually when I make something for the monome, I just sort of throw it out there without paying attention to the UI (which is one reason why I feel developers should not make their own user interfaces), so, that explains why plane looks more polished. There are no rasterized elements of the user interface, so you can zoom and everything is perfectly smooth.
Oh, you don't need an arc to make use of plane. Also, you don't need a modular synth. plane m|vi|cv works perfectly well as a monophonic MIDI sequencer. Any size monome grid will work, but monome emulators may not.
There are a few more things added since the preview video earlier:
Added the ability to program sequences from a MIDI keyboard.
Added the ability to drive the sequencer from an analog pulse from a modular, like an LFO or clock signal. This opens up clocking of plane to drum machines, arpeggiators, or whatever crazy analog logic you can come up with. Pressure points control of tempo, rotating clock divider, whatever. Go nuts.
Added two synced LFOs.
Added the legacy clock module from polygome so you can slave to a MIDI beat clock source.
