Removing? To my knowledge it was never there. Are you sure Monome is not sending MIDI, or going through some intermediary app (MAX for Live or something similar) or an add-on?
What kind of Live-Monome apps are you using? Just curious, I have a 64 and 256 myself (I actually was the guy who ported Monome Serial from OSX to Windows, so I'm pretty biased towards Monome devices :) )
Mostly using Stretta's ones. Need to use them more.
I'm working this week to get my modular talking to Live in a useful way using the Monome and an Expert Sleepers ES-3 (8 DC coupled outputs that work as trigger, gate or CV out)
