if you regularly fail at elementary school math, then this script is for you
lol yeah, so you wanna impress those cool nerds in the cafeteria, but the thought of solving a simple math formula, or whatever that stuff is called, like 1+5*10/2, is making you stress sweat like there’s no tomorrow, then expand your measly attention span for just a minute and read on.
Wequiaments
you need a norns! and external audio! can you get that done?! you can connect a MIDI too, but I’m not going to waste my time by attempting to explain that
Documentation
you wiggle E1 to select a thing and then you wiggle E3 to change that thing. easy enough, right? there will be numbers! and math! it’s going to be wrong, but you wouldn’t know the difference anyway.
r stands for “record head position”. oh boy. I’ll let you guess what the p stands for.
t is time in seconds, which will count up constantly in a loop from 0 to 100. t is the basis of your calcluation. similar to those bytebeats (don’t click that link, it’s not for you).
okay, one thing I do need to explain (unfortunately). this thing here %
is the modulus operator. it makes stuff loop! so for example something % 6
will never rise above 6, but wrap around to 0 instead and go on climbing up again. + does offset, * does speed. That’s it.
if you get nothing done, then press K2 or K3 to randomize r and the p and feel ashamed.
hold down K1 and E3 will change stuff faster.
hold down K1 and press K2 or K3 to reset r or the p.
wiggle E2 to fade between … ah, whatever, you’ll hear it.

okay, you got that far. congratulations, I guess. now show off to those nerds that you can make noise with many impressive numbers. if this script finally gets you laid, I demand you post the juicy details in this thread. nothing better than some awkward nerd love stories in the morning.
