Some clever chap called Robert Jarvis has come up with a way to create a 5$ DIY drum pad for Ableton Live/Max for Live.
The thing works by taking the keystrokes sent out from a small silicon calculator and converts them into midi signals.
This is the second in a series of tutorials on Mu. Mu provides full integration of Max for Live and Ableton Live for the touchscreen controller Lemur. This tutorial focuses on how to change and add devices to Mu and shows you how the structure of Mu works.
Part one of the tutorial is here and focuses on the basics of Mu, how to set it up and how it works.

With all the buzz thats flying around the iPad recently it’s no surprise that an app like Midipad has been developed. Midipad, still in beta stages, allows you to use the iPad as a touchscreen midi controller for music. More details as they come.
This video tutorial gives you an introduction to Mu for the Lemur. Mu is an app that gives the Lemur full intergration with Ableton Live and Max for Live. The tutorial shows you how to setup Mu and takes you though all the features.

Monome 512
The boys over at monome have decided to go all out and create a limited edition monome 512. There was only 10 made and 4 auctioned off to the public with bids starting at a whoping $2800. The 512 is basically two 256 monome inside on case connected via super low latency usb hub. The case was hand crafted from a solid piece of walnut and the top plate was custom machined too. Wonder if anybody fancys making one themselves?
