The cool thing about lua is that is kind of lets you not be a programmer and access a c++ kind of set of object classes i just reviewed the pdlua stuff i worked on and it’s really fun for mutations and aleatorics which i am pretty sure a bunch of folks on here will dig. For example i have a Reverb that has a parameter set with 3 variables for decays and they are updating based upon an aleatoric sequence/tempo so the tempo is aleatorically advancing and the decay times are psuedo randomizing every tick and it sounds for the lack of a better term Nornish.

“nornish” is by far the best term

anyone want to speculate how norns is gonna handle cv? what do you all imagine being it’s relationship to modular?

Teletype/Ansible as CV expander

my assumption has been that norns would connect over a usb a-a cable to an ansible or teletype

If Norns talks to Ansible, then I just want to make a script that let’s me run an 8-track Kria from a single 128 grid so I can see everything at a glance and not have to keep swapping where the usb is plugged in. :wink:

Having just invested in TT/Ansible/Grid, I feel like I should really go the Norns route, despite my complete lack of SC/LUA chops. Eager to hear more about this. Honestly, the internal ER-301 vs. Norns battle rages on.

i doubt it will be a usb cable to ansible/teletype, unless you connect it to the mini-b port on norns. ansible/tt/trilogy are usb hosts, norns is as well except for the mini-b port (ansible/tt/trilogy do act as usb devices when uploading firmware but the mode is selected with the bootloader and would require a reboot/reset to change it back to the usb host mode).

with the information we have now my guess is it will be a wifi dongle for ansible and possibly teletype that will receive osc from norns via wifi.

I think that’s even more exciting

limited use case since there are so few
but in theory…i could use the aleph serial-device port to connect w/ norns

and then write control scripts to access the data, right?

not sure - don’t know enough about aleph… midi might also be an option?

#492

yeah possibly

i’ll wait and see how it all fits together

I think someone mentioned granular processing but I want to flesh that out to find out what types of instruments we might be able to build.

Would it be possible to write a lua script that could granulate a sample on disk, or a live stream of audio, or notes/chords played on a keyboard, etc and map parameters to knobs for things like spray, grain count, grain length, grain direction?

I’m guessing that’s the kind of application where Lua on its own probably wouldn’t get you there, and you’d have to write a SC sound engine. Lua is pretty low overhead, but I’d be surprised if you could write real time granular processing with it (my experience of Lua mostly comes from embedding it in video game engines for level/enemy scripting quite a few years ago, so might be off).
