I always feel guilty when I pull out the softstep. It’s way too much technology for the silly on/off toggles I like to make use of. But, maybe with Norns, I can finally unleash its full potential.

(probably not; this is overkill)

Just got the confirmation of 2nd batch shipment! Now what remains is dealing with UK customs. Still quite exciting to see it dispatched.

norns has arrived safely, and is happily churning out euclidean rhythms in the background.

Running the update in a moment, then it’s time to start learning things.

EDIT:
Scratch that; I guess I’m already up to date.

There is one script (EMB/LOOPS) which I should track down and replace, as it seems to be an empty shell that doesn’t do anything. Let’s call that part of “learning things”, though…

I think you play audio into it and it does stuff

That EMB folder intreagues me as its not in the official dust folder but has some interesting stuff, especially this one, which I believe is work in progress

Post office tried to deliver today, but we’re doing work on our bridge, so I got a card in the mailbox instead. So, I’m planning to bring a grid and some headphones along with me to work on Monday, with a stop at the post office on the way in…

That wouldn’t surprise me. But, his other scripts have instructions, and some kind of interface.
