arc sizes
posted Mar 04, 2011
the arc four is a single row of four ringed encoders.
the order links will be posted in about twenty minutes. i want to take a moment to restate that this is the first edition of a new device—as such, there will not be a large library of applications available immediately. there will be a few, and that library will grow quickly once the community has time with the hardware, but i can’t whole-heartedly recommend this device to everyone. those familiar with some form of programming will be more equipped to immediately use this device. early adoption requires patience. if this first edition goes well, we’ll certainly produce more of these in the future.
i look forward to seeing what we collectively create with this new tool. thank you for your continuing support!

be sure to read the stretta procedure for further insight into this fantastic work.
arc orders begin friday

as usual, order links will be posted here.
no pre-orders. shipping late march. initial application offerings will be sparse but we expect new apps to spontaneously generate in rapid-realtime, thanks to a new generation of users who deeply understand “decoupled” interface.
more media following.
shipping update
posted Feb 16, 2011
update: we began shipping a few days ago. you’ll receive a tracking number when your order ships.
our delivery of circuits is very late. the assembly house shut down several days during the snow storms, and it only recently became clear what delivery dates to expect. i deeply apologize.
the last boards are scheduled to arrive late next week, which means we’ll be able to start shipping the first week of march. this puts us a bit over two weeks behind schedule. shipping should go quickly once they arrive, given we have completed much of the early assembly stages, but keep in mind we can’t get all 150 orders out in a single day. we’ll be shipping according to order position.
we appreciate your patience and will honor any requests for cancellation.

updated dates
posted Jan 31, 2011
due to tricky weather and unpredictable wood behavior during production, we’re slightly behind schedule on assembly.
jan 28 orders will still begin shipping on feb 11, but shipping will be stretched out a bit longer than expected—up to two full weeks (though we’ll do our best to get them out quickly). we ship according to order receipt. you’ll receive a tracking number when your order ships. thanks for your patience!
generally we dislike holding payments if we can’t ship them within a short period of time, so we’re opting to postpone the arc order date by two weeks.
new arc order date: march 4
we’ll begin shipping the arc shortly thereafter.

discrete levels
posted Jan 28, 2011
the new edition of monome devices will support discrete per-led brightness levels. this has some considerable implications for future application development—visual differentiation of states, control elements, etc.
a firmware upgrade for older monome devices is forthcoming. all existing apps are compatible with the new monome devices. updated OSC protocol will be posted with the introduction of serialosc later this weekend.
orders begin later today at 1pm EST.
