Am I the only one that learned LUA from this?

@tehn / @Galapagoose so will Crows do audio and/or CV?

(Sorry if this might have already been covered above)

Any-who my two cents for the insane people fully keeping up with this thread:

Deeply excited for the community potential behind this. Excited for people to start sharing grid code again (I wasn’t even here when we were). Excited for people sharing ideas. I probably won’t get a norns. Personally pretty OK with using my other things computer for also making music (separate user accounts can go a long way (dual-booting linux will go further)).

So yea sign me up to the list of people getting the LUA/supercollider combo working on (normal) computers. Anyone else on the list?

Yeah this is really interesting to me as well, count me in.

Just throwing out some design love for Crow, as it may just be the best looking module ever. Slight recess, flat jacks, no branding, and milled out deep mini usb port… really really great aesthetic choices. Excited to learn more.

Quick question regarding Crow: I’m assuming it’s a separate purchase at a later date am I correct? Or is it part of Norns?

yes, they can certainly be connected. i suppose you could 1) programatically edit bees patches or control module parameters from norns, and/or 2) use aleph as serial controller for norns.

this would be contingent on adding some stuff on the norns side. so far we don’t provide any interface between lua and arbitrary tty devices - norns attempts to connect to tty devices using the monome serial protocol. but this should be an early addition. like many other features supporting general or DIY use cases, it will take some input and feedback to know how to implement most effectively.

I would guess separate as not all Norns users have a modular and thus would not want to pay a higher price for Norns based on a module they wouldn’t need.

#647

Exactly my thoughts, but worth asking… If the assumed is true, I’d love to know the estimated cost of Crow.

#648

Random question (and not that it affects me)… Why not usb-c? A Pi limitation?

#649

Has anyone started compiling a summary for quick reference to the answers, explanations, and info from the developers here? (What Norns can and can’t do, etc)

I’ve thought of many things I want to ask, but stop before posting; thinking that someone probably already asked a similar thing.

This seems worth posting here, for those who want to dig into monome+supercollider, like me:

I’d love to know the estimated cost of Crow.

I’d guess similar to the mannequins W/?
(is there any pattern to the mannequins prices? they aren’t XX9 like most eurorack modules, they tend to be just very arbitrary digits. Perhaps they are linked in some way, that’d very much be in their style)

Faceplate design is very similar, the W/ has a micro SD card reader + what I assume to be a similar compute module, Crow just uses it to run a USB host/Lua interpreter instead?..

Just idle speculations from a fellow hardware designer

i just don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t love birds. yes, i’m really into anthropomorphizing machines evidently.

one line revealed now, but not sure the other 2 were… “knows something” could refer to storing scripts. but “waits patiently”…

#656

I interpreted “waits patiently” as a sleep mode of some kind

Yes, well I interpreted “waits patiently” as “it’s not gonna go away just because you can’t buy it on the release date”.

I guess both norns and I will have to wait patiently before we meet !

When i got my ER-301 to Malta t was around 200 euro i think… This will be similar.
