monome 40h ordered

Monome 40h

I happen to be one of the lucky few to get one of the last remaining monome 40h open-source MIDI controllers. I just placed my order, and should have it within a week. I will upload more info and pictures when it comes in.

visit monome.org for more details about this hand-built MIDI controller.

Update: I recently received my monome 40h, and I will post pictures and a video soon.
