Just wanted to let you know that both the monomal and virtual monome modules have become a huge staple of my live performance. they really are powerful. After using it for some time, I've come up with a few suggestions...
It would be great to see a future version of monomal in which the user can modify the lower-half controls, simply because i have other controllers capable of handling the speed and opacity, and would like to have as much control as possible. i could even see potential in using the bottom half as a bunch of mappable on/off switches.
Also, the modul8 function for recording a layer and playing it back looped, as well as the function to record the master layer and rendering it to disk later, both are unable to record the "scratching" done with the monomal module. It seems complicated to fix, but if you did, it would add an extreme amount of usefulness to the module: being able to play back a looped sequence of button-presses would be amazing.
thanks again for these modules. i really wouldn't be able to perform in the way that i want without them.
