How do other midi controllers hook up? USB only?

1 Like

yes–you’d need some sort of usb -> midi adapter if your controller just has 5 pin din.

same kinds of stuff applies I think to this post and the next few in that thread.

certainly yes in my opinion

FWIW I am very excited about norns as a stand-alone device, and look forward to writing some interesting tools that can be used without any accessories.

depends on your style and preference
all the apps i use most (playfair, glitchlooper, cranes, plus all the playfair mods) are samplers that don’t require a grid

i also use mlr from time to time but, surprisingly, find myself drawn to the others when i have time to play

Glitchlooper? Cranes?! What have I missed?!? :slight_smile:

it’s a barebones 5 buffer glitching looper but I love it to death

Just got my norns today. But no time to play today. This looper sounds fun. Very nice tracks here. Oval-ish Sounds. :heart:

Nice! I clicked that just to listen to a snippet, but I ended up listening to the whole EP.

It’s exciting that norns is already at a point where you can make standalone pieces like these. It’s also exciting that I get to sit down, read the engine code, and learn more SuperCollider simultaneously.

Looking forward to the public releases, @dan_derks and @carltesta!

I was thinking about my experience remixing Glut and Spacetime for the latest Dust release, and that gave me an idea.

For a future LCRP or similar, it would be cool to pass around a minimal Lua script. There would be a separate thread specifically with help for implementing code ideas specific to this project. Each person then submits their own remix of the script, all of which would show up in one folder on Dust.

I suppose if there’s too much worry about unstable/unrefined/unfinished scripts clogging up Dust, we could spin it off into a separate repo.

I love this idea! Next remix edition of LCRP wouldn’t be until March if we follow the schedule. But there’s the norns compilation that I admit I’ve kind of stalled on organizing. But now I know why, it was so that this idea could bubble up! Let’s do it!

I like the idea of submitting scripts to dust after the compilation is complete. gist or a new repo would be a great way to organize WIP.

I can create new repos in the monome-community org. What would we call it?

^^^^ this is also of interest to me!

At the moment there is no direct connection between Norns and modular (or anything voltage controlled).

There is a module in development called Crow that will offer this, but there is no real info about it yet or a timeline.

Right now Norns speaks midi, so you could use a midi>cv module to integrate the two… but that’s about it.
