About

Norns generative script that makes melodies. Featuring ๐–‘๐–”๐–‹๐–Ž ๐–˜๐–“๐–”๐–œ๐–‹๐–‘๐–†๐–๐–Š๐–˜. You can listen to it and try pressing the buttons or turning the knobs, but I found it works best if you sample something from it externally with a looper, then layer new melodies on top.

Sound example: lofi-snowflakes on SoundCloud

Controls

  • Key 2: Randomize current scale
  • Key 3: Stop and generate a new scale/melody
  • Enc 1: Increase long buffer time, random chance of changing buffer speed
  • Enc 2: Random pulse width value for melody, random ๐–‘๐–”๐–‹๐–Ž ๐–˜๐–“๐–”๐–œ๐–‹๐–‘๐–†๐–๐–Š๐–˜ mode
  • Enc 3: Change one of the notes randomly

References

  • I learned how to mix hiss and SuperCollider's Decimator output from Otis -- I tried using the compressor to duck the hiss from Otis as well
  • The sound source is copied from PolyPerc, extended with Decimator
