Approaching: norns

[murray]

I can’t confirm anything, but it’s a hell of a good excuse to learn SuperCollider

[scanner_darkly]

ha, searching for lua found this:

(Modern) C Programming Tips and Tricks

while we’re derailing the C programming tips thread, i guess i should reveal that the next monome thing heavily uses lua.

should we start a thread on lua? been meaning to look into it for er-301, it’s great that knowledge will also apply to norns.

I finally feel like I might be able to ditch a laptop without compromising.

If you do, let us know. The ability to drive a SE show off of a Norn would be … wonderful.

[abalone]

bravo
@tehn @kelli_cain
you are great artists!

should we start a thread on lua?

Heck’n yes…

Was this the first clue? 2 years ago…

1/4" vs. 1/8" connections

for audio input/output, my impression is that 1/4" jacks are perceived as “professional” while 1/8" stereo is for sub-pro or toys or phones or laptops etc. is this changing? granted, with 1/4" you can have a balanced connection, but even most 1/4" gear is unbalanced. 1/8" being stereo is sometimes great (when you’re working with stereo) and other times annoying (if you want to be working in dual mono, whereupon you have to use splitters etc). mechanical robustness clearly wins with 1/4". but…

Having some difficulty finding the first hint about linux, but here was a fairly recent one:

Linux people: want to help with the new thing?

earlier i’d already hinted that the “new thing” involves linux. it’s a pretty ambitious project with many aspects— and it’ll all be open source and no doubt evolve beyond my initial concept, the same way everything else we’ve made has (!) it’s close. i am looking to delegate some linux-centric tasks. i have near-final totally-working prototype units. e-mail info@monome.org if you have deep linux knowledge, enjoy this sort of thing, and have some hours to share. edit! got a flood of interest…

I’ve been sort of imagining this new thing for many months now, happy to see much of what I imagined appears to be at least mostly on track!

A laptop?

…That’s tiny, not made by apple, and doesn’t receive my email…

Yea sure ok.

[scanner_darkly]

we now have Lua thread: Lua language

[Oneven]

How is it powered? I see grid is connected directly, but nothing else on the usb side.

[liebeliebe]

mmmm mm gorgeous. can’t wait for this one.

[jasonw22]

I suspect it contains a battery. I hope it’s a rechargeable lithium ion battery.

[Dogma]

Is this done with lua? Please say yes!!!

I was just thinking of something like this - and my aleph despite never waned

Screw superbooth!!!

[jasonw22]

speaks lua.

From the OP…

[kkempes]

wow it seems amazing!!

[caelmore]

“The Norns in Norse mythology are female beings who rule the destiny of gods and men. They roughly correspond to other controllers of humans’ destiny, such as the Fates, elsewhere in European mythology.”

The Fates themselves are three sisters…

And i2c makes three sisters out of Monome, Mannequins, and Orthogonal Devices.

[madeinspace]

is the 3rd of may the launch date?

[Starthief]

Even though I’m familiar with the Norns – my spouse is big into Norse mythology and I like mythology in general – I still keep reading this thread as “approaching noms.” Maybe I need a snack with my decaf

[jasonw22]

I still keep reading this thread as “approaching noms.”

Me too. It’s the keming.

[shreeswifty]

Wow
I am a Linux person looking at a summer off with pay before my next contract starts.
Let me know how I can help/test

This is awesome

[shreeswifty]

Gonna brush up on my lua apparently
