You can do this with the Arc by using the Arcify library - you can usually do it In about two lines of code!

Doing the same thing, being able to use the grid as a note input device if it doesn’t have another purpose, is a good idea.

I like this idea. You may want to check out the musicutil library in norns, it may get you some of the way there for scale generation.

Mmm I love this. I’ve been rolling around a similar idea in my head. I’m really into frequency beats and I love that effect when the wall of sound in JI drifts into diffusion and back. This could be really nice, especially with some kind of slew or other continuous control between the divisions.

WIP concepts for norns/grid/crow:

Each button on a Grid represents a pseudo random note/trigger pattern. One section represent notes, the other half represent triggers, so they’re divided in to two sections across the Grid.
Patterns can be combined/merged by activating a second pad, or even a third pad.

Norns UI handles quantizing scales, velocity randomization, probabilities, channel count, connectivity etc. The “usual” stuff.

Another idea I have is to port the Zularic repetitor from noise engineering to Norns (w/ arc support perhaps?)

I plan on making these when I have the time, but if anyone wants to take a swing at this be my guest.

Not sure if this has been brought up or theoretically possible but could norns have added the ability to map 4 chosen params to arc in any given script?

How would this be achieved?

yes

not entirely your fault for missing it, one of the slight downsides of decentralized info

The idea of running a sequencing script in parrallel with a sampling one, all the while integrating with crow would be amazing.

I’ve been dreaming about this too! Would be unbelievably awesome

Re-reading this thread on decaying/disintegrating loop techniques — and was struck by @trickyflemming’s post on implementing a decaying looper in norns…

Im curious about an idea that gives recordings made to tape a unique name. I have run into lots of lost ideas with having 35 songs named 0000.wav and so on. building reels and saving them and trying to come back or overwriting the wrong files or not backing up because i thought i grabbed it. Is there any way to give files a unique name that is based off of a date or some other counter that does not get reset every update or moving files off to make space? Also say if you wanted to go back to some reels and you original used file 0000.wav and to keep track you renamed it 0030.wav it gets very confusing and hard to get back.

i’m planning to add a TAPE naming function to an upcoming revision, with an option for generated names from a lookup table.

lots of upcoming PTO, excited to start on this fun thing (for norns/grid/crow/jf).

Hi,
I am wondering if its possible/ overly difficult to make a standalone multichannel audio recorder/ player on Norns.
Given many cheap Class 2 compliant audio interfaces available (Bela/Ctag fro example) - is this a possibility? I assume the Rpi is up to it - just down to the current software architecture I guess.

#464

this is possible, yes. but the real question is why do this on norns vs. just a raspberry pi? you’ll have to do a lot of jack configuration and setups which aren’t widely applicable to others norns users— lots of linux setup. integrating multi-channel into the crone/norns framework is non-trivial, however.

if you just want to make a simple multichannel rec/play, i might skip the whole norns ecosystem in general… use a pi and sc/pd/whatever you are comfortable with.

#465

makes sense - i see a few people are now running DAWs such as Reaper for example on a rpi 4 streaming multichannel to a usb interface, so see that a generic linux distribution is probably the way to go.

I am developing a multichannel usb mic and was thinking that norns would be a very convenient hardware format to make a nice recording/ media playback project to support this. Keeping these applications/ (music / recording) separate is wise though i can see. Maybe pd on a diy pi shield makes a lot more sense

got a pretty cool karplus-strong sound out of softcut this morning. Controlled pitch by modulating loop_end (or rate). managed to get rate up to ~80 on a voice before something crashes and all sound cuts out :metal:

Add some lua envelopes and we could make a completely unnecessary softcut based synth engine :slight_smile:

you should be able to make quite stable oscillators just with loop length, which has no lower bound. rate modulation has a hard upper bound. (== available history in interpolation window) which is 64.

I’d like to investigate making a script that auto-syncs a folder between norns and a USB uSD card adapter to share recordings between ER-301 and norns. Seems like the rsync command might be sufficient (run twice: once in both directions). Perhaps the Linux initiated among us could help with my questions:

  • Does norns auto-mount USB drives? If no, can it be made to?
  • Is it safe to remove USB drives without unmounting?
  • Is the mounting of a specifically-named drive a good trigger for a bash script?
  • Would this all be much easier if I just saved a command on my phone and used SSH when I want to sync?

EDIT: Just saw @Oxbown’s nifty file manager. Perhaps I can use that in the meantime.

#469

this and Grids to “Any Given” is something, in my opinion that would make the monome ecosystem for me perfect in a way. i could stay inside that [Norns, ARC,Grids] but now with crow expand to include X
it’s deliciously nerdy. i hope it’s not impossible!
