Been makin’ something this week.
Inspired a bit by “playfair” and “foulplay” on norns. But I wanted it to be grid-based, with more performative control over the rhythms.
Mostly, it’s been a lot of interface refining. But I think things are starting to come together.
256 not strictly required. But for now, at least, variable brightness is.
There are some features not shown here, as well.
It can easily switch between drum mode (mapped to Ableton drum rack, outputs on channel 10), pentatonic mode (as seen here. channel 5), and a half-built arpeggiator thing (on channels 6, 7, 8, and 9). More modes are probably forthcoming.
The clock can run in either direction, although recent changes have made backwards movement error-prone.
The clock can also be driven by outside sources (a midi clip, for example.) I’m personally looking forward to slowly turning a jog wheel, like a music box.
(this is not on norns yet. max and javascript, no lua. we prototype on what we’re comfortable with…)
