The central control-grid's 64 back-lit buttons have short travel and a distinct "snap" on both press and release (though they wiggle sideways more than the Monome's buttons). The controls are solid and feel like they will hold up over long use. It's a rectangular wood block (17' x 11.5' x 2'), and its top-mounted metal panel (silver like a Mac) holds an abundance of knobs, faders, and buttons. The Ohm 64 has the look and feel of a sturdy, useful, DJ-oriented control surface. I had the opportunity to demo the Ohm 64. The founders of Livid have been building controllers and software for video and music production since 2000, but their first big hit was the Ohm 64 controller, and most recently they've released a stripped-down work-alike called Block. One small-production shop to emerge from the fray is Livid, an eight-man operation out of Austin, Texas, that actually predated Monome. ![]() This natural market progression is a good thing, providing a range of price points to get in on the fun. Monome's success story, and the beauty and utility of their simple controller, ignited an industry that is now filled with DIY controller kits, small-production hand-built controllers, and big-industry all-plastic copycats. Suddenly, it seemed everyone wanted a 40h, and the little company called Monome became famous overnight. The Monome controller inspired a new musical direction for me. ![]() I used the 40h to play with (and learn) a variety of music-creation software, and the crazy sounds coming from my speakers could not be denied. (After a lot of configuring) I held in my hands a box of blinking buttons -each light controlled by music software, each button a unique input. #62) and plugged it into my computer's USB port. Again, that's Apple's fault: whatever they do, the rest of the industry – slowly – follows.It all started in 2006 when I bought a Monome 40h (Tape Op Oh, wait, Windows 11 is limited to certain hardware. How is it that WIndows would run on more generations? it's because Windows hasn't improved that much over the years and because Windows has to run on infinite numbers of hardware. So, it's not that Apple intentionally forces you to upgrade hardware, it's more about the technology that they implement in newer OSs that can make your mac faster, more power-efficient (using dedicated codecs in newer SoC). Except something like video streaming in web browser, that seems more efficient. pc won't be cheaper at all.īy the way, I'm just experimenting Monterey via OCLP on a Mid-2009 MBP and it's not as flawless and fast as the officially supported OSs. ![]() Well, if you compare apples to apples, I mean, pc laptops with similar configs to MBP, surprise!. car manufacturers) use different brand for entry level/mainstream and for high-end stuff, so you wouldn't come out with the hysterical mantra, expecting high hopes from entry level configuration. My music partner and myself on other hand are more than happy with entry level machines, even on his old Intel 2500s/8GB machine we couldn't drain the RAM (until we added 60 Nexus instances, but he use 20 of them max for a project), only the CPU, but guess we are minority, target audience for those machines aren't remotely serious projects, but luckily for us, we aren't that serious either, so understand the frustration of others. Click to expand.They are really trying to make no overlap with their higher specc'ed offerings, so by the time you configure entry level machine, you are in territory of their other models they want to sell you, this drove us to the wall when we tried to come up with alternative to higher specc'ed iMac my friend wanted to replace, no matter the route we went, external display + Mini and etc, it all come down to wait for that iMac, he is video professional working on moderate projects, live shows, weddings, commercials, music videos and etc, Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, he indeed needs lot's of RAM and internal storage.
