Yes! This is the only feature I was holding my breath for. The beauty of the OP-1 and ER-301 is that I can record everything and go back to the computer later.

When we fill up the internal storage, can we also record/transfer to a USB stick attached to norns?

Imagine the possibilities with norns>ansible in midi/cv mode!

Ah, now I got it.

EDIT: After a bit of thinking I am still not sure if this is the most elegant way to deal with masterhood and male supremacy…but what do I know and it’s certainly your language not mine - how about mistress & servant?

I write code for a living and love it. That said, my professional experience has been entirely with dynamic languages (Ruby, Python, Javascript).

When I got back into writing music, I was excited by the possibility of bringing these two worlds together. Coding for hardware though, seemingly done largely with C-based languages (at least in Monome-land), isn’t something I’m well-versed in at the moment.

Could I fumble my way around it & learn over time? Yeah, I’m sure I could.

But, looking at these code examples from today, I’m instantly excited, and confident that I could immediately start playing around.

Only remaining concern: does the web-based editor have a Vim mode :stuck_out_tongue:

Emacs only for 20 chars of trolling

i’ve been cringing every time we have to use that terminology when we discuss i2c. not sure i’m feeling maid/matron (“wouldn’t it be nice to be able to run teletype in a multimatron mode?!”) but i’m glad to see a step away from the current terminology. perhaps we as lines can come up with new non norms specific terms as well.

I was actually wondering this as well. My brain turns off when I see blocks of code and just starts executing vim commands. If the web editor doesn’t have it though it sounds like we can probably just ssh in and use vim there? (assuming it’s installed).

20 characters of that little heart isn’t adequate!

Since this is something that I’ve seen come up a bunch of times for the Teletype, I wonder if there will be some sort of Norns simulator that you can run on your laptop while coding so that you can test your stuff before “deploying” it (and I guess I’m assuming that there’s some sort of deployment step, and that you’re not remotely live-coding). On the Teletype that always seemed interesting on a surface level, but weirder in practice since it’s almost necessarily just controlling other things (without a TXo, at least). But Norns running Supercollider stuff sounds like something you could use completely on your laptop, so you could develop it sans-Norns (I’m picturing my daily bus-commute to work), but then use Norns as your performance platform.

Maybe I’m just rambling. :slight_smile:

Looking forward to seeing more details and especially videos!

It’s possible to code on your mobile device too :slight_smile:

This code! I can read it! Easily! :heart:

if anything, it’s more likely to have Vim since that’s on most unix based systems. so, ha!

I wonder if you could write a phone app so you could edit scripts on the fly live, keeping the setup minimal. Since the norns has wifi connectivity

no need for an app, since you only need a browser and can rerun scripts on the fly, right?

Making the code editor available via WIFI is genius. You don’t need a laptop to edit scripts, you just need something with WIFI and a web browser. That could be a phone or a tablet or a strange invention of your own.

You have to re-run the script for the changes to take effect!

SC is already installed / configured, with an integrated soundcard. if you want to tweak jackdrc or do something weird (external soundcard?) then you can do so in the usual ways. if you want to replace the OS you’re kinda on your own.

norns update/repo system will be addressed later…

haven’t tried superdirt on this guy but it should work.

not sure i get this question. it depends what you are doing with them? lots?

it wasn’t super obvious in @tehn’s post, but the web editor / IDE does include a live REPL. you can type statements directly into the lua interpreter or into the sclang backend.

yes indeed, norns environment works great on linux (has a couple holes on mac, still)

so far norns devs are split into the term+vim faction and the tramp-mode faction (natch)

i may as well say that i have basically zero personal interest in live-coding, and kinda seems like a normal laptop would be more suitable for that. but it’s pretty magical to be able to shell/browse to your performance device and change anything on the fly.

That is true since it is a browser you can just use anything with wifi.
