Ambient w/ Prophet-10, norns, grid, LOSSY | Spring Snowfall 2025-03-19 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, norns, and grid. It’s a minimal ambient work built on simple accompaniment and sequences.

The Prophet-10 is played through ‪@strymon‬ blueSky to add reverb.

On norns, I create sequence phrases with awake, and the output is routed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY and ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS. The sequence phrases are dynamically modified using grid. I change the timbre with awake and further process the sound with filters on LOSSY, while SPECULAR TEMPUS applies delay."

Field Recording in Tokyo, Prophet-10, norns shield | Light Sleep 2025-03-17 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using field recordings of Tokyo's morning city, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and norns shield. Birdsong, city sounds, and thick electronic tones overlap.

The Prophet-10 was played with ‪@strymon‬ blueSky reverb and recorded.

On the Norns Shield, I trigger a drone with DRONECASTER ( https://llllllll.co/t/dronecaster/34737 ) and process it with filtering and packet loss effects using ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY.

The field recordings were captured with the Voice Memo app on an iPhone."

Ambient w/ OP-1 field, norns shield, monome, MOOD MK2 | Campo 2025-03-12 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using norns shield ( https://monome.org/docs/norns/shield/ ) , Monome, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK 2. A drone generated by 16 oscillators gradually evolves.

On the norns shield, I generate a drone sound using sines ( https://norns.community/sines ) . Additionally, I connect its output to MOOD MK2, where reverb is applied and the pitch is occasionally adjusted.

On the OP-1 field, I trigger a drone bass sound using the ENDLESS sequencer."

Introducing D2MS - The Augmented Drumming Sandbox For Monome Norns

video upload by D2MS Script

D2MS Tutorials

video uploads by D2MS Script






Details follow:

"D2MS (Drums 2 Midi Synths, Samplers, Sequencers…Something) is an Augmented Drumming script for the Monome Norns platform.

Born of an online collaboration between two Lines Forum (https://llllllll.co/) users phillwilson (MyOneManBand) and Illges.

D2MS is a sandbox environment for taking the velocity and gestural data from regular drum triggers, drum pads and e-drums. It allows drummers to use their regular playing to drive sequences of notes and execute a huge range of performance altering functions.

D2MS was built from the ground up with improvisation in mind, so there are “quick creation” features all over it, to randomise and remix midi data live.

Users can play a 'full band' performance from behind the drums and all editing and set design can be handled through a custom layout on the Norns Grid interface.

Key Features

· Use up to 16 inputs (incoming midi notes from pads, triggers etc)

· Each input can control up to 5 machine layers (MIDI note driving units) and 5 Trig Layers (utilities that modify a performance)
· Over 10 Machine types including;
Basic –For playing melodies
Riff – Ideal for bass-lines
Chord – Great for pads
Fixed – For non-chromatic samples and percussion
Strum – A semi-manual arpeggios
Stack – A rotating chord pack
…And many more

· Over 12 Trig Types including;
Conductor – To move between patterns and change instruments
Direction – To change playback order
Fill - To randomize note sequences
CC – To turn things such as Midi FX on and off dynamically
Gears – To create cascades of movement

…And many more

How does an all Mannequins Case sound? // 5 ambient patches with breakdowns // Silhouette

video upload by Lesjamusic

"A sequel to my Mannequins Silhouette ( • Silhouette by Mannequins // What is i... ) intro video. Pulled together all of the Mannequins by Whimsical Raps modules into one case, and created these 5 ambient drone patches, with a little help from Norns and some Intellijel utilities.

Gear used:
Just Friends
Crow
Mangrove + PPM
Sisters
Cold Mac
W/ (Wdel)
Intellijel 1u VCO, Duatt, Stereo Mixer and 62hp Palette Case.
No external effect processing used, apart from some dynamic processing to bring it all up to level. No reverbs / delays etc - everything comes from the case.

enjoy!

Monome Norns o-o-o script w/ Soma Lyra-8

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"In this video, I explore the sonic possibilities of the o-o-o ("odashodasho") script, a fun generative sequencer (also boasting its own FM synthesis engine!) for the Monome Norns. I am pairing it with the Lyra-4, a touch-sensitive synthesizer known for its organic, often unpredictable textures and its ability to create complex, evolving drones and tones.

This session was fully improvised, letting the interaction between the two instruments guiding the performance. it was recorded live and lightly mastered in Pro Tools.

Ambient w/ Monome Grid 128 & grainfields Max for Live | A Voice beyond Time 2025-02-02 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the Monome Grid 128 and ‪@Ableton‬ Max for Live. Audio and synth sounds, stretched by a granular synthesizer, are layered together.

The samples include water sounds, synthesizer tones, vocals, and data noise. Using grainfields, the sounds are repeated and stretched to generate a unique character.

On the Monome, I adjust the sample playback and modify the playback positions.

Midimalism™ USB midi controller

"He a very smol boi.
He is a tiny USB MIDI controller with 2 knobs, to buttons and one mini jack input for DIY sensors and shit.

To make a DIY sensor connect a potentiometer or construct some other voltage divider. The tip of the minijack is +5V, the sleeve is GND and the ring is where the voltage is measured by the midimalism and turned sent to your pooter as MIDI data. DONT SHORT +5V AND GND, midimalism might probably maybe die."

ambient talkie: ep 54 - CROW a basic overview

video upload by tworoundrobins

"i got myself monome crow for the purpose of connecting norns to my eurorack. at first I didn't fully understand the amazing capabilities you get with this particularly small scriptable module, but I'm very glad I took a deeper dive and see the potential it can bring to smaller cases and the likes.

this is a very basic and simple overview that might give some explanation to those that always wondered what this module actually does.

"Day 5 of jamuary and already struggling a bit. I got lost in the norns script library and testes a lot of scripts - some need other gear to work that I don't have and some need a lot of manual reading and learning. Stumbled on this nice orchestral script and made this darker piece."
