# An enduring practice
|

|
||
- Thoroughly documented at LMU Munich by Beat Rossmy [[1]](https://doi.org/10.21428/92fbeb44.563bfea9),
|
||
with Alexander Wiethoff [[2]](https://doi.org/10.21428/92fbeb44.6a2451e6), Maximilian Rauh[[3]](https://doi.org/10.21428/92fbeb44.db84ecd0)
|
||
and Sebastian Unger [[4]](https://doi.org/10.21428/92fbeb44.303223db).
|

|
||
- With a dedicated course at Berklee college of Music
|
||
"Grid Controller Studies" ISEL-112 [[5]](https://github.com/stretta/gridlab)
|
||
|
||
- And an active community of artists and developers [[6]](https://llllllll.co/tag/grid)
|
||
Due, in part, to the open source, and open-ended nature of monome's grid

# Origins of backlit button grids
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1998 - SP series (202 & 808)
|
||
Performance samplers
|
||
|
||
The grid allows:
|
||
- Sampling and triggering
|
||
- Copy and paste
|
||
- Step recording

# Problem
|
||
|
||
- A majority of closed source, proprietary hardware.
|
||
- Either a blank slate (monome), or overly standardized practices
|
||
- Software specific libraries, with divergent approaches
|
||
- Many overlapping features
