Anybody tried this yet? I know there are some tricks (like using convolution only for early reflections)… also considering “convolution synthesis” where you load in your own samples and pink noise runs through them; one of my favorite techniques but it’s also super expensive with longer files.

So I was thinking of how to make a sort of groovebox-like thing on the norns.
Ended up with this idea/layout; steps on the left, parameters on the right.

Parameter value per step is a given of course, but also thinking of how you could divide each step into 32nd notes like the one step with four circles pictured. Might be neat, or just really hard to control.

Thinking about the interfacing via knobs, buttons - I’m pretty sure it would work quite fluently actually.

brb, need to learn lua …

I’d be happy to answer your lua question if you have any while implementing this.
It shouldn’t be too hard.

Take a look at the code for Awake as far as clocks and dividing clocks, that helped me get my head around it in Lua:

Ah, thanks! Looks like a great starting point.

Yeah, the sequencer itself shouldn’t be too hard actually. I’ve made similar stuff before, but my coding chops are really not that great - much more of a designer (well, actually a designer) … Mostly afraid of how to do the GUI, hehe!

Also, in my mind I’m thinking it should run a synth engine so that it’s completely self-contained. 8 parameters are enough to make something interesting if you do some clever macro mapping. Buuuut maybe people would very much enjoy 4 synth, 4 sample channels instead.

Haha yeah, pretty much what I want to do. nornstron?

I’ve been doing a lot of Norns/Monome related things this month and my partner and I record these little monthly devlogs, and I would like to share with you the “behind the scene” of all these little monome and norns experiments.

great! thanks for sharing :grinning:

Anyone thought of working on a script that is a playable granular synthesizer. Imagine using an arc interface like Mangle to set the parameters and then using either a midi keyboard or grid to play the notes

Started thinking about this when thinking about how fun a gr-1 would be but thought to myself that Norns can in someway fill that void

Sounds pretty doable. It could probably be added to mangl to control the pitch parameter.

#385

That does sound fun, and like @Jonny says, the params are there :slight_smile:

Edit: just poked around at this, and it seems like it will be pretty easy.

Would there be any way to also allow it to record and play back live audio input?

Mangl
#387

You can already record and save samples with TAPE (or Sam, if you want to edit start/end points), then load into mangl. It would be possible to do it “in app” but UI is always a… thing.

I meant real time granular synthesis. I wouldn’t mind if the signal became slightly delayed when dialing in a larger spread of particles before/after the record/play “head”. I would love to play a single note from a synth and tweak certain other parameters of the synth besides the oscillator frequency (like wave shape, lfo, filter frequency, resonance) while a midi sequencer or human plays the grain pitch via a midi controller connected to norns, live. It could get pretty strange and fun, especially with other sound sources besides a synth.

I think that might require a new engine. I really hope there is an engine making study one day :sweat_smile:

Maybe this would help. I was just reading page 49/50, haven’t read the whole article, but this individual’s work seems interesting… and related to the subject. They were even prototyping with Supercollider. Never heard of the Creatovox before this.

adding a RecordBuf to Glut would be a good first study in supercollider. i’d just start by opening Engine_Glut in the supercollider IDE and looking at the helpfiles, which are helpful.
