I would really like to see dj64fx happen on the norns. Just focusing on the master fx section. A large variety of performable effects laid out on the grid. Many of the appropriate effects already exist as individual scripts.

So you can play a track and perform your filtering, beat repeating, spin downs all from the grid with one app. Kinda like how pedal board has a bunch of effects in one app live. Except this script would be focused around performing the effects with the grid. Without grid interaction the audio would pass through unaffected.

Maybe it’s just because I have a yellowscreen on my DIY Norns, but Instagram advertised me a keyring of the sentry gun monitor from Aliens and 10 mins of Internet digression later I want a norns port of this plz:

I was thinking it would be cool to have a stereo panning script in which you could have multiple samples and a live signal all swirl around each other. The bellow video of the Make Noise X-Pan was the main influence (please listen with head phones). But since Norns does not have multiple inputs and cv, I thought you could set up two sample loops, have a live signal coming in and then be able to manipulate that panning of the the different signals across the stereo field on Norns (I would want this script to be useable w/o grids or any other controller). Does anyone think this would be possible?

is anyone else interested in developing a tiny typing terminal for norns screens - I remember it’s come up before :cowboy_hat_face:

There’s a shell (command line prompt) example in my HID demo scripts. Or are you meaning something different?

very nice !!!

yea that’s what I mean - a text editor UI and the script can provide some tiny-named functions to run


ah yesss that thread has the concepts I’m looking for http://angg.twu.net/miniforth-article.html

Can you think of an idea for how to turn this interface into an audio tool in the Norns style?

I didn’t really get that far with the idea to be honest :slight_smile:

a straight up emulation of xenomorphs being slaughtered in a tunnel (maybe with the option to change the gunshot sounds etc to some other sample) would be musically useful enough for my purposes :smiley:

Have you played with cheat codes? IIRC it can do something like this (and much more). It’s both very well fleshed out and exceptionally well documented. If you haven’t tried it, it may scratch this itch for you!

Have you tried Oooooo, it does some wild stereo field stuff to incoming and recorded sound.

Would love to know how people integrate their Norns with other gear. How do you use the ins and outs and work with a mixer, modular and external effects? Also the difference of routing needed for using Norns as FX versus instrument. I am just getting to grips with some of that thinking (in particular mixers having just got a K-Mix) so I am sure it is all obvious to many of you!

I often use Pools on an Aux send for some sweet reverb. Fully wet.

Wrms, Bounds, Glitchlets, B-B-Beat, really any of the loopers or delays are killer. Having the built in reverb for any script is also very useful and easy.

I use that little SSL mixer and run one of the aux sends (stereo) to the inputs on Norns and run the output to another stereo channel. I can quickly send any channel to it and bring the loops in and out as needed.

For me, it is never in any one configuration permanently. So it moves around frequently doing all sorts of different tasks.

So after reading This topic and with the release of TE OB-4, I thought that might be a good idea to have an option to have the tape turned on all the time but saving only on request? I had found myself numerous times when I was jamming and have a good part that I wish to be recorded, but I have not set the tape to record. This can be an optional thing for people who don’t want to use that.

So it can look like this:
-Have an option in settings to have this tape buffer On all the time - let’s say 2-3 hours rolling buffer - or depends on what is possible.
-When you want to save you go to the tape screen and press stop, and then save the file

bumping this to add a +2 because i was just texting with @matthewdavid about how amazing a dj64 inspired norns script would be… is it possible to stream full songs from internal storage?

Something other than just playing song 1 at a time from tape?

Maybe something like how beets lets you jump between samples synced to clock, accept that doesn’t allow you to blend the samples together dj style.

I only used dj64fx, I didn’t have the patience to manage songs/samples for dj64.

Yeah so you could mix between tracks

i think i might have a shot at a simple dj script just using softcut - might bump up against some limitations there, but it seems like it would be fun with the pitch shifting algorithm (some encoder scratching perhaps ?)

i know next to nothing about DJing despite definite curiosity, so suggestions welcome !

my gut feeling is this should probably be an engine… softcut doesn’t have buffer minutes for two long-ish stereo tracks, as software was designed for a pretty different use case
