so…if you REALLY want the graphics output of norns…you have to improvise…
i split the feed from the camera into three different vid synths to generate all the visuals.
whole foundation for tonight’s session…all three norns running Fear in a Handful of Dust with a couple of other noiz weapons…
fracken amazing script again!
thank you @tyleretters & @license!!!

Wow! @tyleretters and @license this is gorgeous, it’s been running at 60bpm in the background for a couple hours and I have no intention of turning it off any time soon.
Edit, dropped my bpm to 20 after getting to spring 1995, turned the engine volume down, the reverb input up and extended the decay… now I’m up to 2006…

Hi guys, received my Norns shield yesterday so I’m new here; this script was one of my first unexpected fun finds. Forgive me if this question is a stupid one, but altering the tempo in FIAHOD seems to mess with the tempo in my saved Awake Psets… is this normal behaviour? Am I getting global tempos mixed up with Pset project tempos somewhere? 
FIAHOD doesn’t use Psets for anything fancey but it does use the norns global clock. awake also uses the global clock: awake/awake.lua at master · tehn/awake · GitHub
what behavior are you seeing? if you change the internal tempo that will persist across scripts.
Thanks, that solves it; I must remember to make a tempo ref in my saved Pset names.
Really enjoying this…thanks again!

Awesome script, I used it last night as a sleep aid, I suffer from chronic insomnia, but this thing knocked me out cold, haha.
