Kayan is a discoverable melody generator for Norns.

The more you turn the encoder, the more melody is revealed. Press the button to generate and discover new repeating revealable melodies. The sound source is the KarplusRings engine I’ve been building over the past few days doing a pretty convincing piano.

@tehn @zebra I’ve made a pull request on the Dust repo with these units if you want to take a look.

The Kayan Mentarang Rainforest in Borneo is beyond beautiful - full of discoverable self-sufficient villages populated by the friendliest people you could ever meet.

@tehn: Any chance to get the Varibright Grid Kit back in the store?

Wow, beautiful work.

Experimenting with Norns Earthsea into the modular system:

Largely being processed by an admixture of Morphagene/Magneto/Three Sisters. Enjoying the polyphonic tones i’m getting out of this.

I saw Wagner’s Götterdämmerung last night in San Francisco, and got to tour backstage before the performance began. This is a photo of a detail of the Norns’ “mangrove-like roots” as rendered for the San Francisco production. I shot it from the edge of the stage, which we got to walk around pre-show. The set of black cables, ducts, and wires sprawls fully across the stage. This production is set in the America of the distant future, a highly digital realm (cybperpunk, in essence). The opera’s libretto is the same as the original, except the Norns’ “ropes” (the conduit for their storytelling) have been changed to “cables.”

I might have missed it but where/how are people sharing Lua scripts? On the Github page somewhere?

How would we go about adding them to Norns? Through maiden, or could you download it and add it to the USB and load it that way? (I’m rather new to this if you can’t tell)

I have been using the sync from USB method. Just make sure that you have synced to USB first. At that point it is as easy as putting the file in the scripts folder on the USB and syncing from USB. I have been making a folder in scripts/ for each different author, to stick with the current set up.
