Harmonic halls of noise - Prismatic Spray, norns “pixels”, 1010music lemondrop and TX-6

video upload by Arman Bohn

"The Prismatic Spray provides most of the sonic textures here. The notes it plays are controlled by a single pixel grooving along on the screen on the norns. The sound is then chopped up by the lemondrop and played back at various octaves. The Norns also provides five channels of sine wave drones. Everything is mixed in the TX-6.

You can pick up the Prismatic spray on my tindie shop:

Norns FM7 Soundscape

Published on Oct 11, 2018 junklight

"One of the brilliant aspects of owning a Norns is that the rest of them are owned by wonderful creative people making new toys for you to play with.

Today someone added a synth based on the Supercollider Fm7 emulation. (and in case you hadn't noticed I _love_ FM!) it sounds gorgeous and as I was sitting tinkering with it one thing led to another and I recorded this - basically Norns/FM7 and two Augustus Loops from Expert Sleepers! Sometimes simple is good!"

2023/06 - Norns Dub

video upload by Stereoping

"Summer tunes warmup. The Monome Norns running the beautiful 'RAINDROPS' script is sent through a DIY-PCB Juno-6 Chorus with Stereo-mod. The Norns is intentionally not temposynced and accompanied by a modded Alesis HR-16 which makes funny things when one of the Voice Eproms is removed. The HR-16's audio runs through a Yamaha CS-5 lowpass into a DIY Axoloti-based effects unit with lots of knobs for realtime tweaking Reverb/Delay and a little granulizer. The HR-16's midiclock drives a Volca Drum with Midi-Out-mod. The Volca's sequencer's Midinotes (incl. probablitiy and ratchetings) are converted by a little DIY Midi-box into the suitable notes for the Solin8 (starting at 3:10), a cheap 8bit-glitch teensy-based WAV-Drumsounds-Player with downsampling faders. "

best to start simple (NORNS orgnwrms JAM)

video upload by tworoundrobins

"this little script is a powerhouse and still one of the best ways to use solely norns with a grid. shape the orgn sound and just throw it into the wacky delay lines of wrms - i find this quite enjoyable and at times almost magical. this is not jamuary, but rather a jam in good fun where noodles are literally the only things on the menu.

SMASH!
Stereo LPG and 2-button sequencer with extras. Intended for use with noise or drone instruments both to calm their rich spectra and to provide (or convert to) a rhythmic/percussive element. However, this is completely optional and it can be its own noise and/or drone instrument with no external dependencies.

Requirements:
- Norns
- Any device with stereo or mono line-level outputs (optional)"

Handmade Glitches (Musikraken iPad Hand Tracking + Monome Norns Fall)

video upload by Perplex On

"Here i‘m trying to utilize the handtracking features of #musikraken app on iOS to use hand gestures as midi source for creating glitchy bits. Layered on top of a generative soundbed coming from #monome #norns loaded with Fall script. A connected #OxiOne acts as a grid. Next to the sound coming from the Norns, it‘s also sending midi to the iPad playing various synths (#Aparillo, #VHSSynth and #Zeeon) at the same time. The straight beat is coming from #playbeat3 while the glitchy bits are coming from #fractalbits. The hand waving gestures are not only triggering midi note events but also modulate additional FX (#koalafx and #dedalusdelay), e.g. the distance of the second hand towards the ipad camera is controlling the comb filter of Koalafx and the opening of the first hand is controlling the delay feedback of Dedalus."

Digital vs Analogue FM Synthesis (Norns + Sidrax Live)

video upload by Luke Sanger

"Getting my feet wet with the awesome orgnwrms script (by @andrewcs_ 🪱) for Monome Norns open-source sound computer and appreciating the contrast and interplay of the analog vs digital FM between the two instruments.

Monome Norns Fall, Dave Smith Evolver and Strymon BigSky

video upload by Luca Longobardi

"A Chromotherapy Session For Miniature People

I particularly love the kind of sound that came out of this setup. The Norns running the Fall script and the Dave Smith Evolver are playing in unison via midi.
The sound of the Norns is filtered by the Input Hack of the Evolver while its 4 LFOs create a movement of the 4 oscillators that generates a melodic looping line.
The Strymon Bigsky adds the right space for the warmth of the analog circuit to express itself at its best."

Novation Circuit Tracks & Associates - Buchla 208C Easel Command, Monome Norns, 1010Music Bluebox -

video by -CALC-

See this post for additional details and demos of Novation's new Circuit Tracks.

"Perhaps not quite what most folks are expecting from an early Circuit Tracks video but this is a versatile bit of kit and it was a fun late night birthday jam. Circuit Tracks is firmly at the centre.

Tracks is controlling the Norns OOOOOO script with MIDI mappings, all the loops in OOOOOO were recorded directly from the Circuit Track's Synth. The Circuit Tracks synth is actually kick ass when you delve deep into it and make it work for you. There is a ton of power in it.

Circuit Tracks also sequencing the Summit (bass line) and Rossum Electro Assimil8or - through CV.OCD (additional drums).
This is the first proper recording with the Buchla 208C Easel Command and at the moment its just burbling nicely in the background. I've been waiting for a long time to get this and it will definitely feature a lot more prominently in the future.
I'm still learning this total classic beast and I think I will be for the rest of my life but it also pairs really really well with the Circuit Tracks' sequencer.

Special shout out to the 1010 Music Bluebox too. It is such a handy device and way more useful than I imagined. Especially paired with the Norns.... thats a power combo.

Some tasty video stuff thanks to the Sleepy Circuits Hypno. I ran the video back through the Hypno for some lovely Psychedelics. It's clunky with external video but its good."

meadowrock // sequoia

meadowrock // sequoia from ioflow on Vimeo.

"ambient performance for monome norns + modular synthesizer and rhodes loops.

music on the spot, perched atop a granite outcrop, enfolded by the wondrous natural beauty of a montane meadow. giant sequoias, shadowed ferns, tall pines, and bright sunlight.

four melodies--three from a modular synthesizer and one from a rhodes--were recorded into norns and loaded into mlr, performed on the grid. the melodies and swells are layered, relooped, redirected, scattered into fragments, and recombined in new ways. underneath it all is a field recording: audio from the meadow and surrounding forest.

modular patch notes: instruo cš-l & tòna oscillators running through an instruo tràigh filter; and antumbra knit oscillator in inharmonic string mode. envelopes from instruo cèis and 2hp adsr. the melodies were played live with keystep and squarp hermod as a midi-to-cv converter; captured by ableton live and exported as samples for norns + mlr.

recorded august 14, 2019."

"ambient improvisation for monome norns, ipad pro, oto bim, oto bam. semigenerative melodies and percussion patterns. weather shifts. clear skies. warm days and cool nights.

melodies, pads, and bass: five instances of audio damage phosphor 2. the main pad sound is also playing from mlr on norns; three copies running at various speeds and directions, with one pattern recorder per copy.

percussion: three instances of audio damage axon 2.

ipad: kymatica AUM is the host for all the AUv3 instruments and effects. the rozeta sequencer suite is used extensively to generate melodies and chords: three instances of collider and two instances of particles, along with various LFOs and arps to further mutate patterns and ranges. ipad audio tracks use several instances of audio damage plugins: roughrider 2, dubstation 2, and grind.

ableton live is used as a mixer + recorder, and also to send the ipad's melodic tracks to and from the oto bim + bam desktop fx units.

Haunted ballroom music with Norns & Ableton Wavetable

Published on Sep 29, 2018 junklight

"I've never seen strictly come dancing but ballrooms make me think of Hookland & M John Harrison short stories and ghosts....

The rhythm samples are all made from the fantastic Spitfire Audio Union Chapel organ (which I use a lot of things in case you hadn't noticed) and are sequenced with the fantastic Norns Foulplay

I've said it before and I'll say it again but I rather like the Ableton Wavetable synth - its got a certain something about it"
