net.loadbang.fireflash

fireflash is a reference implementation of a multi-device, multi-application spanning and routing system for the monome. This is a release of a bare-bones application layer which attaches to applications, and to devices, via the monome's legacy point-to-point OSC networking. At present, fireflash has no user interface - all configuration is done by calling into Java from short Python scripts. Accordingly, for best effect, fireflash can be launched from MaxMSP (a sample patcher is enclosed), although it will also run standalone.

We have a video of fireflash being demonstrated on Vimeo here.

Release Numbering

All releases have two parts to their version: an actual version number, and a date. The version number changes if the core Java code is changed; the date changes if the Java code changes, or if there are any changes to example code or 3rd-party libraries.
