00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:03,510
- Hello everyone. Some years ago on Linus tech tips,

2
00:00:03,510 --> 00:00:09,470
I looked at this thing, the Pallete Gear, this is basically a control surface for video editing,

3
00:00:09,470 --> 00:00:12,660
photo editing, color correction, and so on.

4
00:00:12,660 --> 00:00:16,870
It's supposed to be like better in theory than using a keyboard and mouse for certain things,

5
00:00:16,870 --> 00:00:20,380
and it does look really cool, but the software was a big disappointment

6
00:00:20,380 --> 00:00:23,850
and I provided them with a lot of feedback

7
00:00:23,850 --> 00:00:26,483
and many years later, guess what?

8
00:00:27,370 --> 00:00:31,230
They came out with a whole new version using some of my feedback.

9
00:00:31,230 --> 00:00:36,160
So I'm actually really excited for this one. We're going to find out if the Monogram,

10
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:41,960
they've rebranded I guess, is any better. Ooh, the master console.

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:46,080
It's supposed to be compatible with the old system as well, and we got an add on

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:51,040
because this one does not have the slider module as a part of it.

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,629
So let's take a look here. You've got,

14
00:00:54,629 --> 00:00:58,660
here we go. Okay. Thank you. Well, you're welcome.

15
00:00:58,660 --> 00:01:03,660
This is unnecessarily large and let's take a look here.

16
00:01:03,684 --> 00:01:07,120
Okay. This is the core, very important

17
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,880
without that nothing works. We've got, is it?

18
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,677
It is! It's USB-C. Thank you.

19
00:01:14,677 --> 00:01:19,950
Look at that. Look at the amount of, the amount of foam in here!

20
00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:22,980
Okay. Oh my God.

21
00:01:22,980 --> 00:01:27,140
This has two different things. You, you can, I don't, I don't even know, like,

22
00:01:27,140 --> 00:01:32,140
will this work as a good alternative to a tracker ball?

23
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,840
(popping) We will find out. These are buttons. (clicking)

24
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,603
Very nice. Got three of these.

25
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,550
And what else have we got? More buttons. (pieces clicking)

26
00:01:43,550 --> 00:01:47,644
Dials. (pieces clicking) Ah, they are also buttons.

27
00:01:47,644 --> 00:01:50,657
Very nice, I like that and they're not ratcheted.

28
00:01:50,657 --> 00:01:55,140
More buttons. (pieces clicking) More dials.

29
00:01:55,140 --> 00:01:58,963
And guess what? More dials. I really like it,

30
00:01:58,963 --> 00:02:03,600
you can snap it all together and do whatever you want. Let's also open up the add on module,

31
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,563
which is,

32
00:02:06,610 --> 00:02:12,160
it's exactly what it looks like. It's sliders. I feel like you're less liable to accidentally

33
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,479
rotate one of these when you push it, compared to one of these, the old dial,

34
00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:22,254
because this one's just so big. You see that? That's probably why they made them smaller,

35
00:02:22,254 --> 00:02:26,490
also 'cause you can fit more in, but I like that. You have the build quality of this is,

36
00:02:26,490 --> 00:02:30,189
is impeccable. And like it had better be for the price.

37
00:02:30,189 --> 00:02:34,200
It's this Aluminum? I think so. Let's look what the bottom looks like.

38
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,400
You got rubber grip, which is the only way to go.

39
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,670
Clearly someone from our inventory has a marked all of them.

40
00:02:40,670 --> 00:02:43,670
I really can't tell you much without actually trying it out.

41
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:47,173
So (finger snaps) see ya right now! Okay.

42
00:02:47,173 --> 00:02:52,860
I've been using the monogram for a few weeks and I'll tell you about my experiences right after this word from our sponsor, CleanMyMac X.

51
00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:25,740
Oh boy, do I have so much to say about this

52
00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:30,680
and so little time and I've tried so hard to like list my thoughts in order,

53
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,460
and I just, I can't, I can't even, it there's. (sighs)

54
00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:38,120
I've been, I've been emailing them about this for years. We've been going back and forth.

55
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,537
Oh, by the way before I continue, look, I forgot to do this peel.

56
00:03:41,537 --> 00:03:45,740
(peeling) All right, it is better.

57
00:03:45,740 --> 00:03:49,470
They've done a lot of the things I suggested, and they also didn't do a lot of the things

58
00:03:49,470 --> 00:03:55,193
that I suggested. I don't know. I give it like a 7 out of 10? For context, the Hasu USB keyboard converter

59
00:03:55,193 --> 00:03:58,640
that this puppy is hooked up to, I give that like a 10 out of 10.

60
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,210
I give the Stream Deck XL's like a nine, maybe an eight sometimes.

61
00:04:02,210 --> 00:04:05,380
The Tangent Ripple, this thing is like an 8 out of 10,

62
00:04:05,380 --> 00:04:08,890
it's fantastic. I use this for color correction all the time. So I've only been using this

63
00:04:08,890 --> 00:04:13,790
for Premiere and Photoshop, all right? It supports lots of applications.

64
00:04:13,790 --> 00:04:16,900
They were like really proud that they have, Final Cut 10 support now.

65
00:04:16,900 --> 00:04:20,780
I don't use Final Cut 10, I've never used it, I can't evaluate it. Okay. We've got the GUI.

66
00:04:20,780 --> 00:04:24,480
We've got the software itself. We've got the hardware.

67
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,010
We're going to talk about all those things. The GUI, I don't like it.

68
00:04:28,010 --> 00:04:31,990
It's this Apple inspired, let's make everything clean

69
00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:35,950
and simple design philosophy, that I really hate.

70
00:04:35,950 --> 00:04:39,820
If your product requires settings to get it to really work properly,

71
00:04:39,820 --> 00:04:46,363
you need to have those settings. And fortunately, what they did do is you can go to, file,

72
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:50,980
preferences, and then click here to, advanced,

73
00:04:50,980 --> 00:04:56,490
and say all the way down here "Enable debugging of module settings via Manual Entry view."

74
00:04:56,490 --> 00:04:59,700
You can now go into the code sort of, and,

75
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:03,170
and tweak things to a degree, that you cannot do with a standard GUI.

76
00:05:03,170 --> 00:05:08,831
And I will show you that coming up here, but like this feature alone, if you don't know about it,

77
00:05:08,831 --> 00:05:13,920
I don't think that Monogram is worth it. They haven't optimized it enough to where

78
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,007
the standard settings are going to be usable enough,

79
00:05:18,007 --> 00:05:21,660
and there's just all sorts of stuff where if you don't know about it,

80
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:25,386
then you're doing yourself a huge disservice and the developers are doing you

81
00:05:25,386 --> 00:05:29,200
a disservice by not telling you about it, because there's like right now, there's no manual.

82
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,290
First of all, you can go choose a, a profile that already exists.

83
00:05:32,290 --> 00:05:36,860
So like, let's say, I want one for Premiere, it comes blank, and then you can put up the list of like,

84
00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:40,300
there's some pre-made ones and that's nice. It's nice to start from there. That's good.

85
00:05:40,300 --> 00:05:43,370
All of that works, but then as soon as you start trying

86
00:05:43,370 --> 00:05:48,050
to actually change stuff, it's really frustrating. So I'm going to click on adjust any property.

87
00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:52,210
And first of all, this window is too small. This needs to be twice the size.

88
00:05:52,210 --> 00:05:55,448
So you've got this huge list to scroll through and find stuff,

89
00:05:55,448 --> 00:05:59,130
and then, (laughing) the options

90
00:05:59,130 --> 00:06:03,520
are inside the list. Put these options somewhere else.

91
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,420
Don't put them in the list that I have to scroll through, and especially if I go back to it,

92
00:06:08,420 --> 00:06:12,710
I'm now scrolled to some other position. It's really annoying. Let's go to customize for this one.

93
00:06:12,710 --> 00:06:16,800
Look at what I've got here, I've got down and up, but you only know,

94
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,120
by clicking on it, that there's additional options. Oh, it turns out that's Shift Down, right?

95
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:28,459
And this is Shift Up, but why are you hiding these? Show me everything that I'm working with,

96
00:06:28,459 --> 00:06:33,010
as I'm working with it. Stop hiding (bleep) in your GUI.

97
00:06:33,010 --> 00:06:36,150
Okay, here's another problem. There's only five settings for sensitivity.

98
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:41,490
I told them (laughing) two years ago, there's insufficient granularity.

99
00:06:41,490 --> 00:06:46,830
I found out through talking to them, that sensitivity

100
00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:50,240
is actually just events per turn.

101
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,610
This thing right here, these are orbiter modules. They have two components to them.

102
00:06:54,610 --> 00:06:59,260
They have the ring around the edge and then have the tilt mechanism in the middle.

103
00:06:59,260 --> 00:07:05,158
This works similarly to a joystick. The application itself gives me a very nice output

104
00:07:05,158 --> 00:07:08,530
of what it's doing, and I actually have this where

105
00:07:08,530 --> 00:07:13,450
you can see some of them will snap depending on the settings.

106
00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:17,290
And this one snaps all the way to the X and Y.

107
00:07:17,290 --> 00:07:22,310
So that's kind of cool. It is Tilt Mode. Now the ring around the edge,

108
00:07:22,310 --> 00:07:26,270
how the sensitivity works, is there's 240 events

109
00:07:26,270 --> 00:07:30,860
per full rotation. The high corresponds to a nine,

110
00:07:30,860 --> 00:07:34,387
and then the, the low sensitivity is a five, but those numbers are meaningless.

111
00:07:34,387 --> 00:07:38,400
Here's the real numbers. Low sensitivity on the Orbiter Ring,

112
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,736
is actually 15 events per full rotation.

113
00:07:41,736 --> 00:07:45,810
The next one is 30, the next one is 60, the next one is 120,

114
00:07:45,810 --> 00:07:49,720
and finally up here at the top at high, that's 240.

115
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,393
And that means that if you're doing color correction and what you want is maximum sensitivity,

116
00:07:53,393 --> 00:07:56,600
and then you want to change another setting.

117
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,600
The step, I can change that all the way up to a 50.

118
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,810
You actually have access through the manual entry that I showed you how to do,

119
00:08:04,810 --> 00:08:08,405
to much finer control, and this is so important.

120
00:08:08,405 --> 00:08:12,440
What you want is like step 0.7.

121
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,200
That's the amount that will be added to whatever variable it is,

122
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,660
per rotation or tilt or something.

123
00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:26,279
There's oh, I wish I could, I wish I could summarize this better for you guys. Latency, latency is a big problem.

124
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:30,037
Let me show you a simple test. Photoshop, let's open that up.

125
00:08:30,037 --> 00:08:34,974
I can change the brush size by moving this module here,

126
00:08:34,974 --> 00:08:38,580
but you can see that the delay

127
00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:42,123
between me moving this, and it actually changing on screen,

128
00:08:42,123 --> 00:08:45,760
is quite significant. Remember how slow and laggy

129
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,733
the zoom was on the Loupedeck? Look at how slow and laggy it is!

130
00:08:49,733 --> 00:08:53,360
Well, guess what? You know, I think it's a little better here,

131
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,860
but it's not great. And again, compare that to my own

132
00:08:57,860 --> 00:09:02,390
personal AutoHotkey script, that does it instantaneously with the mouse,

133
00:09:02,390 --> 00:09:07,000
and you'll see that that's what this device should be doing.

134
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,145
Now here's the thing, I told them about this, and they said,

135
00:09:10,145 --> 00:09:17,197
"Ah yes, we know. We've been working with Adobe for the last 10 months on this UXP plugin,

136
00:09:17,197 --> 00:09:20,940
which is due to be released," they said, late summer.

137
00:09:20,940 --> 00:09:24,910
And they sent me a video of significantly better

138
00:09:24,910 --> 00:09:28,180
performance in Photoshop. And I think that's great.

139
00:09:28,180 --> 00:09:32,220
There's some other things where, for example, a changing brush size.

140
00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:38,108
That needs to be exponential. Really, it's just going one pixel at a time,

141
00:09:38,108 --> 00:09:41,970
reducing the diameter. That's not how it should be.

142
00:09:41,970 --> 00:09:47,550
It needs to be exponential, and that is what they did in the UXP plugin.

143
00:09:47,550 --> 00:09:52,110
So this will be better. Also, the zoom is not exponential

144
00:09:52,110 --> 00:09:55,530
and it needs to be, and that's what they ended up doing. Let me show you one other thing

145
00:09:55,530 --> 00:09:59,260
that's disappointing about the software or hardware, I don't know. It stutters.

146
00:09:59,260 --> 00:10:02,470
This is something that they said they have not seen before,

147
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:06,701
but like, this is actually a pretty big problem. I'm going to move my hand very slowly

148
00:10:06,701 --> 00:10:10,031
and as evenly as I can, and you can see,

149
00:10:10,031 --> 00:10:14,043
see that? There is a stutter that should not be happening.

150
00:10:14,043 --> 00:10:18,060
I was using this to jog around in Premiere

151
00:10:18,060 --> 00:10:21,910
and it was really great. The only job controlled better,

152
00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:25,040
is the one on the Logitech craft keyboard, because of the stuttering,

153
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,270
it's still not good enough. There's a lot of work that they can do to improve their application.

154
00:10:29,270 --> 00:10:32,670
For example, next and previous profile. Why do I only have those options?

155
00:10:32,670 --> 00:10:35,970
I should be able to target a specific profile that I want to go to.

156
00:10:35,970 --> 00:10:40,030
Guess what? The Tangent Ripple allows me to do that. Searching through presets is different

157
00:10:40,030 --> 00:10:43,046
from searching through customized, and if you really want to like, find specific stuff,

158
00:10:43,046 --> 00:10:47,591
you want to search through customize. What I'm going to do is, search for a transition,

159
00:10:47,591 --> 00:10:51,740
and you're about to see how dumb this is, where,

160
00:10:51,740 --> 00:10:55,270
oh my gosh. Like, first of all, look at how huge the menu is! And it's so tiny.

161
00:10:55,270 --> 00:10:58,370
I can't see anything! Okay, we've got apply video transition

162
00:10:58,370 --> 00:11:01,700
to both ends of clips. Apply video transition to ends of clips.

163
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:06,376
Apply video transition to front of clips, and apply video transition.

164
00:11:06,376 --> 00:11:10,650
(laughing) And every single one of them has the entire menu

165
00:11:10,650 --> 00:11:13,730
of every single transition.

166
00:11:13,730 --> 00:11:17,210
Why, why Monogram? You make that a separate setting,

167
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:21,536
don't make it in the menus. That's dumb. And there's all sorts of stuff like that.

168
00:11:21,536 --> 00:11:24,630
I'm not perfect. (laughing)

169
00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:29,920
If you take a look at this GUI, that I designed for them like two years ago,

170
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,130
I emailed this to them and they're like, "Well we're not sure what problem this is supposed to solve."

171
00:11:34,130 --> 00:11:37,390
And I look at it now, and I'm like, what the (bleep) was I thinking? It's horrifying,

172
00:11:37,390 --> 00:11:42,833
and I'm so glad that they didn't do it, but it has all of those controls laid out for you,

173
00:11:42,833 --> 00:11:48,080
where you can see everything, and affect a lot more than they currently have.

174
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,007
I recommended that they have the ability for pressing a button

175
00:11:52,007 --> 00:11:56,127
and for pressing and turning a button, to do different things,

176
00:11:56,127 --> 00:12:00,460
and they did it! They did it! Click on a dial and go to customize

177
00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:04,720
and check it out. We've got turn, press and turn, and then just press.

178
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,860
What else have we got? Low sensitivity on that, Dial turn yes.

179
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:13,330
- [Brandon] Taron, how long is this video going to be? - I, I told you my, my thoughts on this are so scattered.

180
00:12:13,330 --> 00:12:16,850
There's so much, there's so much I haven't even gotten to, and I've been renting for like an hour.

181
00:12:16,850 --> 00:12:20,300
I'm sorry! The Adobe API sucks.

182
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:24,480
Okay. And with so many of the problems that I'm encountering with this,

183
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,600
it's because it's not supported in the Adobe Premiere Pro,

184
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,510
API. And there's only so much that the Monogram developers

185
00:12:32,510 --> 00:12:37,493
can do to get around it. I've been in the API, I've seen just how much stuff is missing.

186
00:12:37,493 --> 00:12:40,810
Like I told, I told the Palette Gear, now Monogram guys,

187
00:12:40,810 --> 00:12:43,920
two years ago, please have the option,

188
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:50,910
to turn a track off and to turn a track on, like to activate the track.

189
00:12:50,910 --> 00:12:55,166
They still don't have it, because it's not in the API. The API only has

190
00:12:55,166 --> 00:12:59,750
(finger snapping) toggle, right? So you don't know if your track is on or off.

191
00:12:59,750 --> 00:13:03,495
There's no good solution other than, let's just wait and hope that Adobe makes their API better.

192
00:13:03,495 --> 00:13:07,472
And because the Monogram supports so many applications,

193
00:13:07,472 --> 00:13:12,410
their developers are spread thin, and there's just a lot that they don't know about.

194
00:13:12,410 --> 00:13:16,299
They don't know how it should work in certain applications. How can you screw up ripple deletes?

195
00:13:16,299 --> 00:13:20,550
Oh my gosh, what happened?! I'm in a different sequence now.

196
00:13:20,550 --> 00:13:24,380
They've probably tested it with only one sequence open and they thought, oh, it's great!

197
00:13:24,380 --> 00:13:27,725
It works. Pack it and ship it. Every single function that

198
00:13:27,725 --> 00:13:32,798
they have in here needs to be closely examined by a developer to see

199
00:13:32,798 --> 00:13:36,830
how should this work, where should the bounds be? If it's on a slider, you know,

200
00:13:36,830 --> 00:13:40,470
where should the minimum and maximum be? Should it be logarithmic? Should it not be?

201
00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:43,510
Should there be an acceleration? Should there not be, right?

202
00:13:43,510 --> 00:13:48,018
It really, really depends. Like a Photoshop brush, it has to be logarithmic.

203
00:13:48,018 --> 00:13:52,470
(record scratches) - [Future Taron] Hello, future Taron here doing the edit. This lack of optimization and tuning,

204
00:13:52,470 --> 00:13:57,350
on the Monogram functions is why it's so important for the software to have more

205
00:13:57,350 --> 00:14:02,400
and clearer customization options. Now you might think that the manual entry mode,

206
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,670
allows you to use any options you want, but that's not true.

207
00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:09,537
Even for the stuff I know the code for, the input validation is so extreme,

208
00:14:09,537 --> 00:14:14,160
it sometimes doesn't even allow you to do it. For example, let's try to change a color here,

209
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,570
nope, you can't. You're only allowed to use one of these preselected 14 colors.

210
00:14:18,570 --> 00:14:24,570
They say they're going to fix that, but I'm still worried about other stuff. What if I want to turn sensitivity of 7.5?

211
00:14:24,570 --> 00:14:28,960
Check and save. Nope. What if you want to change the acceleration curve?

212
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,090
Well, you can't, I don't know if there's any code for that at all. And again, there's no manual right now.

213
00:14:33,090 --> 00:14:36,323
What if you want a different value in the middle of a slider versus the beginning and end?

214
00:14:36,323 --> 00:14:39,960
Well, there's no option for that either. - I still like it.

215
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,980
There's still a lot of can do. My suggestion for you will be,

216
00:14:42,980 --> 00:14:46,690
if you're thinking about buying this, go to the website

217
00:14:46,690 --> 00:14:50,160
and look through the manuals for the different applications,

218
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,970
that doesn't exist yet, but they tell me that there will be manuals.

219
00:14:53,970 --> 00:14:59,610
That's important because if there's certain things that you need to be able to do with a control surface,

220
00:14:59,610 --> 00:15:03,050
and they're not in there, you shouldn't buy it. Right?

221
00:15:03,050 --> 00:15:08,160
And I would say, if you're thinking about getting this for color correction in Premiere, don't.

222
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,860
I still think the Tangent Ripple is, is a much better experience

223
00:15:12,910 --> 00:15:16,500
just because it uses tracker balls. - Hi, future Taron, again.

224
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:19,910
Now to present their side, they thought about doing tracker balls,

225
00:15:19,910 --> 00:15:23,645
they decided not to. Here are some emails from our back and forth.

226
00:15:23,645 --> 00:15:27,590
It's much easier to hold consistent pressure and direction on Orbiter than it is to continuously

227
00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:32,650
move a tracker ball at a constant velocity. That's true. The orbiter modules are definitely usable

228
00:15:32,650 --> 00:15:36,230
for color correction. I just, I really still prefer the tracker balls.

229
00:15:36,230 --> 00:15:39,430
You might be able to get used to it, I still haven't. - [Taron] By the way,

230
00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:44,707
there's one more thing that you might not realize at first, you can't just put this together any way you want.

231
00:15:44,707 --> 00:15:48,074
Like you can't put this here, It will not work because

232
00:15:48,074 --> 00:15:51,476
the, the little connectors are only on one side.

233
00:15:51,476 --> 00:15:57,240
Because it's compatible with the old pallet gear stuff, you actually could do something like this

234
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,349
and then make that work.

235
00:16:00,349 --> 00:16:03,580
That'll work, but,

236
00:16:03,580 --> 00:16:08,160
it's just not it's not quite as modular as you might expect, so just be careful about that too.

237
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,690
I want to like this product so much more than I do.

238
00:16:11,690 --> 00:16:15,806
I still give it like 7 out of 10. I think it's going to be,

239
00:16:15,806 --> 00:16:19,590
and it already is pretty great for some stuff,

240
00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:23,271
but like, it really depends. It needs more work. They should hire me as a consultant.

241
00:16:23,271 --> 00:16:26,460
Despite the issues, there's still a lot of cool things

242
00:16:26,460 --> 00:16:32,140
you can do with it. It's pretty damn good, but it should be better.

243
00:16:32,140 --> 00:16:35,680
A lot of that is on Adobe though at this point, unfortunately.

244
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,123
Thanks for watching.
