Looks/sounds like a high synth/drone part. Subtle, but that’s what I think is going on with that.

Perhaps an SMR for MLR?

On first glance, op-1 was connected with usb and in that mode it can act as a USB MIDI controller. My guess was it was “playing” the sample?

it was just audio. top connection out of the op-1 is line.

Neat! I see. You and Rodrigo are correct. My mistake.

Looks like norns sampled the op

I wonder if it will produce mangrove style oscillators

Oh, a hardware version of both MLR and Polygnome would be amazing!

Polygome, n-less. Hmm, would this make it a sound source as well?

Always wanted a Monome machine. This looks incredible. Scared to see the price though.

Ha. Just realized that it is “Norns” and not “Norms.”

DC coupled outputs?


So, I’m guessing this is a single board computer running Linux along with a custom IO board.

I guess we can write scripts / apps in Lua, with some front end for choosing which app to run. I wonder what the deal is for DSP? Would be nice to have the option of SuperCollider / CSound / Faust / etc…

In some respects it’s an alternate take on an Aleph. Presumably no 1 sample latency, but without the headaches that the Blackfin and AVR32 provide. Should make the coding side of things a lot more accessible :+1:

Of course I could be totally wrong.

Is it going to be open source? I’ll be looking forward to looking under the hood.

Haha, oh, sorry. But yeah, gnomes, birds, and all that.

It’s crazy how many boxes this seems to check for me. I’ve been creating a huge, inelegant nest inside of ableton (not even the m4l part), basically to make these kinds of sounds with live bass guitar input. So I dunno if I’m just seeing and hearing what I want or if it really is exactly what I’m going for, but I just hope the price doesn’t force me back into my rat king ableton project.

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