Been thinking about this - How did you go about syncing up with Justin? Were you the clock source? Is there a way for Norns MLR to receive clock that i’m not aware of?

Random Norns industrial design question. Was the brushed finish done by hand? If so may I know the process? I’m thinking about doing similar with my 16n panels :slight_smile:

Probably as good a place as any to ask. Lately I’ve been running my modular into my Norns, then out to my Zoom to record. I just did the CM3+ upgrade, and have loads of room on there. Anyone know if the quality of recording on the TAPE going to be as good, better, or worse than going out to the Zoom?

I’d say tape would be better as you skip a DA/AD conversion stage.

Ya, that’s what I’m thinking, and one less THING on my table. And less chance of me deleting 2 weeks worth of recordings off the TAPE than the SD card… :man_facepalming:

sorry for this necro question - would an official Raspberry Pi charger also work (I have this one I got for Fates)? I’m in the UK, and would prefer not to use an adapter if poss, but promise to do as I’m told :smiley:

Leaning in to say I had my first norns+grid session today and ooh my I’m in love already!

Problem free connection to wifi, file transfer with sftp worked like a charm :+1:t2:

Read about some troubles connecting to wifi. I made sure my network was set to 2,4 ghz/wpa. Connected straight away

I think without a 128 varibright grid you’re missing out on the majority of functionality. if you are a coder you could probably make use of an old 64 grid in many ways but overall 128 is the norm now.

I think i would limit myself to 1-2 sequencers and a handfull of sampling and synth apps to actually stay focused. Should be possible to tailor that to my grid as many apps dont even need grid?
Gosh where do i educate myself about norns besides the docs on monome.org i am reading right now. I dont even know if i can switch apps just like on the fly.

Correct not all apps need a grid. You can only run one app at a time so switching on the fly doesn’t really work. There is a ‘questions’ category now where you can post questions about all things now as well. There are certainly some very long threads with lot’s of information!

Yup! There is an Earthsea script, it’s part of @tehns Ash collection.

As a former 64 user and current updater of the 64 version of this script, I would say that your statement is not 100% correct. mlr is (thankfully) one of the scripts that works really well with a 64 grid. If you can live without the same transposing options as in the 128 version.
