i’m thinking about this one as a field kit case for norns + grid + accessory / cables + recorder + op1 + and maybe wireless speakers…

hard to find the perfect balance between small enough to enjoy carrying it around and big enough to fit what you want without just using a backpack

So is Earthsea already included in Norns?

Yes. They are organized in folders

#1405

My sense is that the Pelican 1525 might be a better fit, given its dimensions (Interior: 20.50" × 11.31" × 6.75") allow you to put a Grids and a Norns in side-by-side - I guess it will take someone trying it out. Also, it’s worth noting that Pelican now makes lid inserts with zippered web pouches that would be very useful for storing cables, plugs, etc.

12 apps under 4 creator folders with 5 more under studies.

So can earthsea control an internal synth ?

#1409

Yeah, norns has its own internal synth engine. Earthsea so far has been very fun, just plug in the grid and make music!

How many tracks of MLR can recorded into? Seems like 4 but wondering if you can scroll down for more?

#1411

Got MLR to work! Incredibly powerful sampler in such a small package. Initial impressions are that it excels at ambient styles but once I have a better idea about syncing norns to other gear I’m sure it can be extremely versatile.

A short video from my second session:

Rundown: I have the OP-1 connected to the inputs and start all four tracks in the clip page, then go back to the record page and initialize track 1 recording, finish recording, then move onto the next tracks. Each track has a different speed and playback direction. In this video, tracks 1 and 4 play forward and tracks 2 and 3 play reverse; track 3 plays at the default speed and the others play either faster (track 1) or slower (tracks 2, 3).

I’ll try to make a proper video of it tomorrow.

I think 4 is the max number of tracks (at least in this iteration).

Yeah, that one looks nice, and would surely do the job. These Pelican cases seems a little big (deep) and chunky though. Any experiences with the laptop-ish cases?

Exactly this. But I would really love a solution where you could put the case/cover in a backpack.

:raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands: sounds amazing!

Can you trigger external gear over usb-midi?
I want to hook up that ER sequencer to my CV.OCD with a USD-MIDI cable.

No idea if the ER app already outputs midi. but should be trivial to add if not. will do the exact same thing :slight_smile:
But if you ask if it’s technically possible… yes, the availability of low-cost usb-midi cables was the rationale to not include a midi socket on the device, which makes perfectly sense, it’s more flexible.

That ER drummer is a pretty neat no-frills step sequencer! What does ER stand for?
