Monome Ansible

Multi-app grid/arc/MIDI controller interface

6 HP Eurorack module

Ansible is a 6HP Eurorack USB host that bridges Monome Grid, Arc, MIDI controllers, and Teletype into the modular environment. It runs multiple embedded applications — Kria (polyphasic step sequencer), Meadowphysics (cascading counter), Earthsea (polyphonic pattern instrument), Levels (rotational voltages), Cycles (momentum-based CV), and MIDI voice/arp modes — automatically selected based on the connected USB device. Each app outputs up to four CV/gate pairs with extensive preset storage and scale sharing across apps. Firmware is open-source and user-updateable.

Features

  • USB host for Monome Grid, Arc, and MIDI controllers
  • Six embedded apps: Kria, Meadowphysics, Earthsea, Levels, Cycles, MIDI
  • Four CV outputs (0-10V) and four trigger outputs (0V/10V)
  • Two inputs for external clock and reset
  • Kria: four-track step sequencer with per-parameter loop points and clock divisions
  • Kria probability and ratcheting for generative sequences
  • Meadowphysics: cascading counter sequencer with configurable rules
  • Earthsea: polyphonic pattern instrument with isomorphic keyboard
  • Levels: Arc-controlled voltage source with 16 pattern slots
  • Cycles: momentum-based rotational CV generator
  • MIDI Voice: Poly/Mono/Multi/Fixed allocation styles
  • MIDI Arp: 8 arpeggiator styles with independent voice divisions
