Wanting to make an order for norns real bad! But I’m thinking I’ll wait until crow is out so I can get them both at once and save on shipping (and have a chance to save for it). Any date on that at this stage @tehn? And any guess about availability to order both together when crow does get released?

Excited about what it could do to transform my live performance processes and integration of various instruments with modular :slight_smile:

shipping for norns is free, just so you know.

also excited to hear more about crow. I’ve been endlessly interested in just type, but the teletype never grabbed me and it felt too big (for my needs)

#950

I should have mentioned that I live in Australia! Which I think is $40 USD to send here.

Exactly how I’ve felt about Teletype.

#951

I think it’s more my mistake for assuming you lived in the states. :slight_smile:

The worst thing about my norns will be the waiting for the Belgium customs services to release it. The days and nights of uncertainty and the hope that THIS would be the day the postman rings my door bell. I placed my order last night and so my summer adventure begins. Thank you guys!

It’s really good to see SC finally getting the love it deserves :slight_smile:

Like many of you I was like a hawk circling the “new thing” thread. I can only imagine what kind of wonderful scripts will be developed for such an inspring device. I do not script but appreciate the work of those that do. I’m already convinced that norns will inspire many, developers and appreciators alike, much in the way monome grids did. I’m determined to save up the required chips for this.

Wow - sold out again! Seems like Norns is the new thing now…

At least I can stop contemplating for some time if I can afford it now or better later.
And hopefully the next batch comes with the crow to save some of the import hassles.

#956

Ha, I finally decided that I couldn’t let this one go, and I would figure out what to sell later and jumped in and ordered 4 hours ago… Looks like I couldn’t have waited much longer.

indeed the second batch has sold out. thank you all for the overwhelming support.

i’m getting the process moving to have more available by august. we won’t be doing a preorder for these until we have a solid release date (and perhaps won’t do a preorder at all if we can manage to make a larger batch).

crow ETA is hopefully around august as well. we’ll be writing more about crow once we get a bit further in development.

Good timing for my birthday in September :wink:

Ah cool. Feels a bit like processing or canvas :+1:

200 units in 3 days. Is that a record?

#962

I think “intimidating” is a strong word. but lets not be vague about it, to me it looks like a sampler and possibly a midi sequencer/looper.
All I am asking for is, a strait up definition of what it is, and what it can actually do, pretty simple really.
Ive looked over this thread, I’ve got plenty of ideas of what it could be, but nothing fixed specifically.

#963

It can do anything that SuperCollider can do, and you can program interfaces for your SC code using Lua to interact with Grid/Arc, midi, or usb controllers.

SC can do a lot including synthesis, scoring, sampling, etc.

welcome to the wonderful world of monome

jokes aside

you are asking something that’s nearly impossible to answer in the manner that you want us to
this device doesnt do one thing

it is a small computer
optimized to run, store, and switch between digital instruments (eg. a sampler, a midi sequencer, etc)

it’s capable of other things
and will be capable of more in the future because it is open/programmable

I think that’s the point that excites many people and intimidates (or concerns?) others. It’s an open ecosystem for exploration.

it will become much more clear what it does once a foundation of scripts (instruments) are demonstrated properly.

at this moment i feel incredibly fortunate that this community has many of the same goals in the instrument design we’re pursuing— and the confidence we can pull it off— before actually seeing the final state of many of the scripts.

ps. making progress on kria and earthsea and a drum programmer…
