hi ! i’m newish here - arrived early at the event, before anyone else showed up, and had no idea what i was doing while i played around with the norns/grid combo, not having ever touched either before :smiley: but had SO much fun and can’t wait to see how everyone here makes use of it. brian was immensely kind and introduced himself while i stood around awkwardly and gave me a quick tutorial on how to use his beautiful devices - he deserves all the success in the world with this one

Did anyone manage to make some recordings or videos? I’m experiencing Nornish Envy. :wink:

yeah that’s just a custom teensy-based midi knob thing, like the 2n and 16n from other threads here. i needed a super-tiny thing for touring. i should make a nicer one (or just get a 16n)

Beautiful, thanks. :grinning:

i am loving the economy and minimalism of this. i had a dream setup that included SuperCollider on ipad that i got working on IOS7 with xcode but i could never get the midi to work properly and the idea was to simply have SC running on an ipad and that’s it for the super clean minimalism Karheinz Essl setup

for those who attended

what was your impression of the aluminum finish? does it collect fingerprints?
the encoders and keys look like silicon? are they…or is it plastic?

how does it feel?

mabye i shouldve just gone after all cause I thought there would be plenty more feedback
