MDScaler Machinedrum Tonal Quantizer for Monome Norns #elektron #machinedrum #monome

video upload by HANJŌ

"Check out MDScaler — a Monome Norns script I developed to bring tonal pitch control and creative randomness to the Elektron Machinedrum (or any CC-controllable synth).

With MDScaler, you can:
Quantize any incoming CC to a musical scale of your choice
Randomize notes within the active scale for generative ideas
Map to Machinedrum’s pitch parameter (using Tonal mode in X firmware)
Use parameter-lock compatible CC control so each step can evolve melodically
Switch encoder modes: channel select, CC number, note stepping, octave cycling
In this demo video, I walk through the interface, show it in action on a pattern, and explore how randomness + scale constraints can yield interesting melodic/rhythmic results.

Controls (via Norns / MDScaler):
Element Function
E1 Change Scale Mode
E2 Adjust Root Note (C, C#, D, etc.)
E3 Toggle between Channel / CC / Note modes
K2 Send a Random Note from current scale
K3 Mode Select (toggling E3 behavior)
K3 + K2 Cycle Octave
Pitch mapping / defaults:
By default, MDScaler maps to Machinedrum tracks via CCs using a consistent offset pattern across groups of 4 tracks (16, 40, 72, 96) per channel. You can reassign or explore as desired.

MNMPatch - Monome Norns Monomachine Patch Randomizer #elektron #monomenorns

video upload by HANJŌ

"I’ve been deep-diving into Elektron gear for a couple years, and recently that obsession has taken on a new shape through coding on the Monome Norns. I wanted to share something I’ve been working on: a patch randomizer for the Monomachine called MNMPatch.

This is about exploring the untapped corners of the Monomachine’s sound engine. I love the unpredictability that Elektron gear allows, and writing this script became a way to extend that philosophy into my creative process. There’s something magical about letting a machine surprise you.

MNMPatch lives on Norns and lets you selectively randomize pages of parameters (SYNTH, FILTER, AMP, etc.), so you can coax happy accidents or just start from a fresh sonic place. It’s already led me to sounds I wouldn’t have dialed in manually, and will become part of my daily jam ritual."
