many thanks will give this a go 
Hi, not sure if this has been mentioned or thought of before, but I could picture norns being a cool place to have a sequencer coded to be similar to the OP-1 tombola sequencer?
I donāt have the means to do so, but it just popped into my head

Wondering if anyone has actually spent some time getting a Snyderphonics Manta to work with norns? Currently without a norns but keen to get back into it. Having the possibility to hook up my Manta would push me over the edge.

I have been meaning to try with 2.0, since there is much better HID support. It wasnāt working out of the box w/ 1.0 and I started digging around but didnāt have time to do much debugging. I may have some time this weekend or early next week, and will let you know.

thatād be great. thank you so much.
keep in mind that you currently can only read HID, not write to it.
You might have better luck getting the manta->OSC stuff working and using OSC instead.
not sure if this has been covered:
a script based on Control for max that runs in the background and can be enabled for scripts that dont have built in grid control. that way you can plug in grid, turn this on, design/load a midi control scheme on grid, then midi map to norns controls u want.
is this a thing? i dont have a norns and probably wont for a year or so more so i cant work on this.

Iām curious if thereās any work being done on being able to name saved presets/params?
There is a text entry widget available in the wifi password entry area. Is that available for use elsewhere in norns scripting? EDIT: I see there is a textentry.lua lib.

this would accommodate named presets nicely: https://github.com/monome/norns/issues/735

Has Flin been made 2.0 ready or is it in the pipeline? I see its not in the current update. I havent seen anyone mention it lately but I do find it one of those straightforward apps that is continually useful.
I do have some ideas for adding to it a bit:
Would love it to run a bit faster.
A few versions using the different synth engines, different pallet of sounds would be good.
It would be good to be able to set the multiples for each row in the parameters menu and not be stuck with just 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.( it would definitely need to run faster for large numbers)
I am never sure what the legato parameter does- but maybe it should set the extent to which the envelope length is influenced by the row multiple.That is at zero all notes are the same length, at max setting the notes on the 7th row played every 7 beats last 7x longer.
Maybe each column could also have a play 3x then skip a go type option to get some greater complexity going.
just thinking out loud really.
One thing Iāve been thinking of is whether or not Norns could start using a usb thumb drive for recording or for loading samples.
Over the weekend, I upgraded my raspi chip to CM3+ 32gb so I could upload loop libraries to MLR, and Cyberduck kept disconnecting on my transfers. It uploads anything less than 100mb, just not anything upwards of that much.
Hence, wondering @tehn if Norns usb drive could start being used for kits/tapes, or also could I transfer my samples/kits via serial?
Thanks! 2.0 is making me so happy!!!

I think you could just ssh into norms, stick in the usb drive and ācpā them over? I donāt think there is any limitation (other than available disk space) copying files from usb onto Norns. Thatās how I copied the update tar.

ahhh yeah that was the problem, i was trying to copy (while sshād into norns) from my macbook to norns and nothing i tried was successful except the update process. iām gonna try this soonā¦thanks!

AFAIK, HID implementation on manta hardware is very basic if not broken (for older mantas). But:
this is very reliable on linux systems with GitHub - ssfrr/libmanta: A library and set of applications to interface with the Snyderphonics Manta and its example implementation mantaosc. One could even create udev-rules to start mantaosc on plugging the manta.
Only thing to consider is the (substantial) power draw of the manta.

add a simple grid sequencer in mangle or easygrain orā¦to have something like @strettaās microlooper
Iām really new to Norns. Forgive me if I get terminology mixed up.
Overall, Iām very happy with 2.0.
Iām hoping to travel with Norns and some tiny instruments, and with that in mind, Iād like for Norns to be the thing I plug my headphones into. No mixer, no computer.
With Reverb and Compression and Tape in Crone (as I understand it) my initial experiments lead me to believe that I can record into Norns, create a looped piece of music in something like Cranes, and then record that music onto (Norns) Tape. This is amazing. I can then take that Tape recording and import it into another script, like Reelsā¦ Even more amazing.
The only thing Iām missing for an ideal recording/looping workflow is a delay. If there could be a delay along with the reverb and the ability to route them in series or in parallel. Iād be all set.
What would be even better, Iāve no idea if this is possible, is if the FX could be pre-script, or post-script. Imagine recording a loop with a delay before the script, then adding a longer delay on playbackā¦

Search the forum for softcut 2.0, itās basically scriptable tape that is always available in Norns 2.0. Delays are super easy to set up. @tehnās halfsecond is a good example of this

delay is just one use of softcut, so it doesnāt effectively work as a āglobalā delay, but scripts not using softcut could easily be modified to add an auxiliary delay.
thereād need to be some design work to add a menu-driven delay configuration.
