Are all dependencies included in the current November release? Does midi out happen concurrently with playing thru PolyPerc?

#2445

there’s an option in the parameter menu to have audio out, midi out, or both concurrently.

edit:
not sure about the firmware. I’d update to be safe. it’s a relatively simple process. also this requires the meadowphysics library placed in dust/lib/lua/ansible.

Thank you for porting this, it’s been on my dream list for a while.
Does it have the same voice options as the ansible version? Meaning of I connect a shuttle control to horns can I have multiple voices or is it monophonic?

yes if multiple notes are queued then they will all be sent. however, they only stay on for a single beat. toggle mode will keep resending/triggering the note on each beat.

planning on doing a midi version with MollyThePoly where notes just stay on when toggled. could also probably just make it a toggle feature fo the midi out.

Just wondering would the new raspberry pi CM3+ be compatible with norn’s? Seems like it’s got a nice bump in flash memory and performance.

#2450

i’m ordering one now for testing. it should work, but i want to make sure before making a recommendation. the 32gb of emmc is amazing.

Would we be able to do a field upgrade on norns to the new chip?

#2452

it should be the same process as changing RAM in a computer

The CM3 uses a “standard DDR2 SODIMM connector (the same type of connector as used for laptop memory)”

Thanks - it’s pretty exciting to contemplate the possibilities here.

#2454

If true it would mean norns is actually pretty easily / cheaply upgradable ? That’d be kind of incredible !

#2455

Yes, that sounds fantastic. I can carry more samples and not worry about “tape anxiety” while recording.

As a forum, we could also do something like put together a community-based “norns standard library” for samples, leading to more detailed engines and presets. Thanks to @EqualTemperament, the Orthogonal Devices forum did something similar for the ER-301: https://forum.orthogonaldevices.com/t/cardone-an-o-d-community-project/1687

@Tyler and i were talking about this a few weeks ago, so i started assembling some preliminary percussion sounds from oddities lying around the studio—i’ll keep at it if there’s more interest.

perhaps the new script-managing solution will facilitate distribution?

norns presently ships with 606, 808, 909 kits!

@tehn my enjoyment thereof sparked the want to contribute!

i’ve kept acoustic things brewing exclusively just to be nice and synergistic thus far. my next tentative step was a move towards pitch—perhaps rhodes, chimes, or wine glasses?

in any case, if a community library does become part of the grand master plan, there are works waiting in the wings :slight_smile:

Less than a week into the norns adventure, just want to comment on the creativity and musicality of the scripts so far. Won’t list a favorite as I haven’t yet been through them all, but generally these are quite impressive. Will be interesting to see/hear the state of norns this time next year.

Kudos to all.

Peace.

following up on here - emp, have you had any luck with Manta and Norns? anyone else have at it?

cheers!

how complex would be to implement parameters modulation inside the scripts? Something like a random lfo…

#2464

either create a timer-based randomizer as follows:

r = metro.init()
r.time = 0.025
r.event = function()
  params:set("osc1_freq", math.random() * 100)
  params:set("osc2_freq", math.sin(lfo2_phase))
  lfo2_phase = lfo2_phase + 0.01
end
r:start()

or better create an LFO in the supercollider engine. then you can just expose the LFO parameters to the script.
