registration for the Feb 11 sessions is open!

info:

  • we’ll be doing a group hang (rather than a Twitch stream), but participant video is totally optional
  • we’re going to limit each session to ~15 people
  • a link to the meetup will be shared via email on the day
  • we’ll be recording the session, but will edit out participants by default
  • we’ll be offering more of this sort of thing, so don’t worry if you can’t make either of these :slight_smile:
  • please email help@monome.org with any questions or requests for future sessions!

Looks great I have always wanted to get a basic understanding - not knowing exactly where to start has really heldme back. High hopes.

Is this for people with some knowledge of coding?

not at all – this study + workshop are designed to start at zero experience. the only prerequisites are knowing how to connect norns to WIFI and how to access maiden via your browser. we’ll start with a review of maiden’s more coding-focused components, but i just want to avoid spending everyone’s time with WIFI troubleshooting.

hope this feels encouraging!

Thats great!! I just realised Im going to be in a place with very bad internet signal at that time :frowning: Hopefully there will be another version of this in the future :slight_smile:

@tehn @dan_derks I don’t even know how I did it see this topic in 5 days! I’m surprised this post popped up at this point for me, my interest about Lua and coding grows everyday since a few months, I’m sincerely happy you came out with this initiative!
A Norns shipped today in order to fly here at my door, maybe I’ll learn how to access Maiden and connect Norns to WiFi before February 11 :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot for it!!

has anyone done the tutorial yet? or just played with firstlight? (it’s pretty fun!)

I’ve completed the tutorial, was straightforward and really enjoyable diving in and seeing how accessible and powerful things could be. Fiddled about at the end and made some different versions.

Thanks very much for putting it together, it’s a great starting point.

I’ve been putting off the Norns studies for a while. But today I pleasantly discovered first light. In fact, today was the first time I did anything more than plug a midi keyboard into molly the poly. I honestly don’t know why I waited so long.

yes! feels a lot like the teletype studies, which were great for my non-programmer skillset. qq - is there anything similar to cmd-. in supercollider when working in maiden? say i accidentally set the feedback level above 1 and want to kill everything quickly.

I’ve read through the tutorial, and had a little play with first light but haven’t done anything more with the code than my usual one trick! Hoping to find more time in the next few days to dig a bit deeper.

I think there’s a typo in the docs where it says param:set('clock_tempo',50) I believe it should be params:set('clock_tempo',50).

Thanks for the great example! I was bugged down by the thought of building huge scripts from the ground up so getting this wake-up call was really inspirational.
