Approaching: norns

[zebra]

@burn @markeats

please consider forking dust repo and adding your new engines in a PR! that would be super nice.

[markeats]

a few things to tidy up with that one but definitely will once it’s in a decent spot

[mlogger]

you too can become an ambient youtube superstar.

haha - nail on the head

Haven’t ever really posted music anywhere before, but thought I’d throw this here to give EarthSea some love.

Thanks to this great community for all the support.

[Hlp]

right up my alley!
Immediately kicked into some oldfield meets goblin atmospheres and it inspires my visual creative wired mind.

I just have no idea what earthsea is doing exactly?

[burn]

Will do. Need a couple of days to build a complimentary .lua script.

not sure if there’s any video, but i just played norns mlr onstage with bon iver at bonnaroo, and it was very, very fun.

[bobbcorr]

Tips on how to use it in such a setting? Like … did you charge it up with loops ahead of time or Do It On The Fly?

[madeofoak]

on the fly - i had a send of his vocal and recorded into mlr live, set a few patterns and then sent the norns output through my modular. i was up for a few songs, but ‘woods’ was the one i used it on.

[boboter]

Very cool. Hope this was captured somehow.

Completely unrelated question, if you don‘t mind. I just yesterday watched a live gig of Bon Iver on televesion. It took place in Cork in 2017. Were you by any chance there, too?

would love to see this as a M4L device, so sick

[tehn]

Is there some clear understanding/ round up of what crow will be?

we’ve posted almost no information about crow so you haven’t missed anything. no dates yet. but more information as soon as we have it!

[jacobino]

Wow, would love to see this. 2 of my fav music people together!

norns mlr + modular

No direction when I sat down an hour ago, ended up drawing this:

[cosmicsoundexplorer]

Does norns have a colour screen?

[sns]

Same here, we should know more sooner or later

the other new thing is called crow . it’s a collaboration with mannequins (@galapagoose). it’s 2hp, 2in / 4out (bipolar) with USB device input. it’s chainable (internally) and has i2c. norns (and other computers) will use it to speak CV, but it also speaks lua itself and can take itself on its own adventures. it’ll be ready in a few months.

As I understood it might not be a usb host, and that would make sense since Ansible does it already (and both of them speak i2c).
As for Just Type…

If crow speaks i2c would we be able to Just Type without TT…? (usb from computer)

that’s the idea. part of it is a usb-i2c bridge.

[speakerdamage]

no, the angle of that pic (and brightness of that element) makes it look blue

[cosmicsoundexplorer]

Yeah I thought so, ah well got all excited for nothing

[Plym]

Finally got the chance to really sit down with Norns today. Been so busy with work lately.

Super inspiring to see and hear so many great tunes and sounds from other Norns users these last weeks. It is such a beautiful little machine. This version of MLR is really worth it alone. More to come! Going to explore the studies soon : - )
