DJ Music

The Monome is one of those things you’d wished you’d made, then marketed, its a midi controller, so its Ideal for digital DJs, specifically DJs who use alot of samples or require lots of music loops. Essentially this is a box, where the control surface is covered with buttons, essentially its totally configurable, much in the same way a keyboard is, so there’s really not much to it, as a DJ you can use it for a whole variety of DJ functions.

Its totally flexible and very responsive and isn’t just limited to DJing, however the fact of the matter is that for DJs this allows a Dj to configure the Monome as a sample bank, a loop machine, drum machine, virtual slider or even a video loop bank. considering the Monome started life as a Bit box (see Below)

You can buy the Monome via their website here, and you can choose to have it as a pre-made product or if you have a little electrical skill you can elect for a DIY kit. You can choose from 3 different sizes, to suit a range of DJ styles and DJ applications, choose from the 256, 128 and 64 models. Like the Pacemaker this is still very new on the DJ market or at the very least its still ‘underground’ as far as Dj tools go, but it looks to make waves and the maker have a strong belief in the spreading their love of music and innovation much like the pacemaker, and when you consider the price, its pretty affordable to boot, with the most expensive costing US$1400.
