Yeah, that’s a bummer, I’ve been holding out for the new compute module before upgrading my first-gen norns.

Edited to add:
This might be promising?

A big thing would be if that kind of room is available. From when I opened up my norns to go to an CM3+, it didn’t look especially spacious, but if the I/O can be converted that offers a bit of hope at least.

Hey everyone, I am looking at getting norns and grid at some point in the not so distant future. Other than the tutorials that are on this website are there any other detailed tutorials that would help in both the learning of the language of norns, but also how to get the most out of these two devices?

hey hey! good timing! we just spoke today about a set of videos to get folks acclimated to the system. what sort of specific things (or specific general mystery) are you hoping to see tutorials about?

Also check out awesome-monome-norns.

The app list section will give you an overview of what is available out of the box. You can see which apps benefit from using a grid in the Apps by I/O section. It’s not complete but about 90% of existing apps are listed.

If you want to dip your toe into lua programming, a list of useful resources are listed.

@dan_derks video tutorial are a very good idea. Some people seem to learn better in this format.

I dig your username. I used this for one of my norns scripts :slight_smile:

I’m not too sure really, a combination of just getting started with existing scripts that the community uses a lot and random intuitive uses of the tech. Possible elaboration on how to modifier to our own taste

Similar to how dude837 made his max tutorials, he started with making really basic patches and then with each new video he built upon what new thing the previous one brought. Which made learning max a lot more accessible

excellent suggestions!

perhaps too specific, but this was a fun session: https://vimeo.com/443211372

I was wondering if there were any studies
or script examples exploring micro-tuning
or different intonations? I’m pretty new to
norns so sorry if its an obvious question.

Pitfalls is a library I’m writing for exploring microtonal scales. You use Ls notation to define scales. More details here: Pitfalls

Any plans to run the pi 4 compute module in the future? I assume there would need to be a motherboard redesign if you did (the header connections).

hello friends,

i have recently discovered monome norns and am waiting for the norns shield to restock this month to purchase it and I had a question.

can i run multiple programs on norns at once? say i want to use reels with a synth and a delay/reverb. is that possible with just norns?

thank you for your help!

much love

You can only run one script at a time, but there is the “tape” recorder always available to record the output of the script.

You can also route various playing sources through the built-in reverb and compressor; so you could have a synth playing through the reverb, a tape playing separately and an external input as well - and they could be routed to the reverb and then compressor as desired too.

thank you for the answer!

so say I have a guitar and I want to do a looping track where I just use norns, can use the built in reverb with the looper?

You should be able to, yes; there are several excellent loopers for Norns, such as oooooo and Barcode, that will take whatver you throw at the input to all manner of wild places.

there are also a few scripts that have both a synth and a delay/looper - I’m working on a couple more like this
