Visual Musical Playground for 40h (64) + Arc2.
Features:
Mothership is a software instrument made for people who dig loops and enjoy improvising live.
It utilizes the mlr functionality that has become synonymous with monome-based music, chromatic keyboard function (for jamming / creating bass lines), and an FX control for loops (like SP404s + other popular samplers).
Instructions:
MAKE SURE TO CONNECT THE GRRRRIDDDD FIRST! IMPORTANT FOR THE LED BANGBANG. :)
The grid is divided up into three component parts:
The first three rows are mlr-style sequencers that buffer loops (be it melody, bass, drums, etc.).
Rows 3-6 work as a midi-keyboard ideally sent to a VST that would trigger sounds of your choosing (Ableton Live drum kits, Massive wobbled bass, etc.)
Also, three buttons on Row 4 (1 + 2 + 7) are the Group OFF buttons for the MLR groups 1, 2 + 3 respectively.
Row 7 is an FX controller, dependent on what effect you have selected from row 8, it works with button presses, but is much more smooth on the Arc's first encoder.
Row 8 has two functions - the first and last buttons (1 + 8) are octave down and octave up (respectively) for the Midi Keyboard (rows 3-6).
Arc Mapping:
Encoder 0 controls different FX when toggled with the middle 6 buttons of Row 8 on the grid.
Encoder 1 controls the Master Volume for the three MLR groups.
