best advice would be to just experiment with it. it’s not difficult and lots of fun

Thank you !!

sorry for the late reply here. absolutely! It’s still my main instrument i’d say. And the community is very much active. there are developments in many areas and the number of scripts and possible user functions on norns keeps growing

Thanks a lot 🥰

thanks mate :)

i have a microphone (zoom recorder) connected to norns so everything goes into that 👍🏻

thank you, glad to hear. highly recommend exploring cc ☺️

The grid+norns combo is awesome. I’m sure you’ll have plenty of fun!

Thanks! Made with samples loaded to norns - can’t remember what the source was but usually I load up bits from other recording sessions and re-use material

Sounds like Jan Jelinek and Masayoshi Fujita - Stripped to RM

that’s the cardboard box monome grid came in 😊 perfect little percussive instrument

The grid and norns work together, but it’s norns that manipulate sounds and run audio in/out. Norns run ‘scripts’/apps that uses the grid in different ways. In this video I’m running the cheat codes script on norns and I’m using the grid to run the functions of the script. The grid itself doesn’t produce sound and needs to be connected to something else (norns, pc/mac)

Very simplified norns is a little ‘computer’ with inputs and outputs, usb ports etc. what makes it so powerful is the ability to use it in different ways based on scripts (coded ‘applications’). There are loads of different scripts available and the collection is growing every week. Some scripts can make sounds (norns is a synth). Other scripts ‘sample’ incoming sounds and manipulate them (norns is a looper, sampler). Other scripts again are sequenzers and you can hook up midi etc to connect to other gear. I think a good way to start understanding Norns is to look closer at a couple of scripts. ‘Cranes’ is one of my favorites. It’s a looper script where you take incoming sound into Norns, capture/record it, and play it back as well as manipulate it. Have a look at this video: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/poe5fHZpgNOFgsk

@@HansMarius1984 Thanks for this great answer! I've been roaming the internet to find some info since I watched your video and I am finding all of this very, very enticing. Congrats again on that great song!

Be sure to check out the lines forum llllllll.co. Fon’t be afraid to ask questions over there, lots of friendly and helpful people

Thanks! start off with a Shield. You can do a lot with that alone! The grid is awesome and you wont regret buying one, but you can use the shield alone to begin with

@@HansMarius1984 I'm afraid that's too late... I found a 64 used grid and couldn't help myself. They are both on their way !

Haha, great! You’ll love ‘em

With the recent update of CC, 64 grid should work. You just select your grid type in the params

I recorded the sounds with a zoom recorder + Lom Usi Pro microphone

that makes me so happy, thank you 😊

Glad to hear! Keep digging, CC is great
