From the updated doc’s.

KEY2 resets sequence positions.

HOLD KEY, then:
ENC1 changes scale mode.
ENC2 changes filter cutoff.
ENC3 changes release time.
TAP KEY1 quickly to enter MENU.

At the top of this section is it mean to say ‘hold key 2’ or 1?

Im planning on recording my first session in all its beginners mind / noobiness. I think next week sometime depending on aus customs.

This (cvPal) will be one of the first things I try out when I get norns.

It lives! Couldn’t stop myself from turning it on in the park on the way home.

I keep thinking “look at its cute little FAAAAACE” in response to all these pictures as if norns were a cat or something

Must be a weird optical illusion but it looks to me like you’re holding the norns with one hand, then holding the phone with another hand, and then using your third hand to push the side/volume button on the phone to take the actual photo.

(which reminds me of my favorite passage from 50 Shades of Grey:)

Christian Grey put his thumb in my mouth. And then the other one. And then two more. ”Wider,” he said as he put in one more. “I bet you’ve never had this many thumbs in your mouth.” I hadn’t.

Do any of the initial Norns apps support Arc?

Thank you! She’s a very good dog. She puts up with a lot of strange sounds.

Hah! That’s my wife holding a treat above my head. She wanted in on the photo. As much as I wish that my dog looked that enthusiastic whenever I played with a synth, we had to settle for the time-tested liver treats.

thanks for the typo heads up. it’s KEY1

Do any of the initial Norns apps support Arc?

not yet, coming soon!

there are so many things this new thing can potentially do, it’s very difficult to prioritize which to work on (let’s say this is a good thing for now)

Somehow only just when I saw your video did I think “oh shit I could take that to the park”, despite knowing that it’s battery powered. I think it was suddenly seeing it with a Grid and those speakers. #theGASisreal

not to put too fine a point on it, but … laptops can also go to parks.

Agreed. This is an extremely playable version of mlr. Love being able to so easily toggle quantization on and off. And pattern recording speed changes and reversals, in addition to step jumps is so much fun…

wow, nice video. i’ve also went busking a couple of times with norns, grid, minirig (i only have one) and glut here in novosibirsk and it’s literally a very lightweight setup without the laptop.

thanks for creating a beautiful sampler. going out with that setup is one of the things i’m most looking forward to… so simple, so so so light. my experience so far has been immediate music making. something i think is very valuable these days in a world where electronic music making devices are made to do so many different things often in a distracting way. the ~stock~ norns really focuses on fun and intuitive creating with so much depth that is both inspiring and non-intimidating. bravo!
