i’ve revisited my old supercollider code and rewrote in lua. it can do granular synthesis at rapid iterations or can sound like a music box at gentler speed. in any case it’s largely an autonomous thing.
documentation
the two parameters R and G can influence the process…
there’s a custom engine and a supercollider class. follow the steps below for installation.
installation
use maiden and find it from the community library. after installing type ;restart and enter.
installation (manually)
login via ssh then: cd dust/code git clone https://github.com/yotamorimoto/norns_grd.git mv norns_grd grd cd grd git submodule init git submodule update ~/norns/stop.sh ~/norns/start.sh
GRD should now show up on the SELECT menu.
enjoy.
known issues
the engine does not have the common ‘fixed number of voices’ architecture so choosing a very small ‘delta’ with large ‘duration’ can spawn quite a few nodes (a few hundreds or so). it may cause glitches for machines with limited capability. I’m working on the fix!

It looks like it includes a new engine and some supporting classes, but at first glance seems self contained (no installation required on Norns, b/c Norns already scans the relevant locations for SC extension classes)
Right. The class is a small multi-sampled instrument. It is contained in the package and norns just compiles it automatically. But for the first time restarting of engine is necessary.
Thanks a lot! The norns side of thing is pretty new to me (though I’m with supercollider 20+ years). So i’m not sure of the standard way of installing but instead of sleep and rebooting I did norns/stop.sh and norns/start.sh (from the ssh). And that also worked fine.
I am getting this when I launch NORNS_GRD/GRD. Any ideas?
