ONG is an ocean noise generator for Monome Norns.

lines community thread

Even by the standards in the Norns ecosystem this script might be considered a bit more experimental than some others. A little bit akin to the Showers script by mat.

ONG creates a soundscape that simulates ocean waves rolling in. I sincerely hope the soundscape brings you inner calm and relaxation.

Record it with tape, play other things on top of it. Enjoy, exhale and deflate and let your thoughts get lost.

realists

There are a few controls to alter the sound, but ultimately it is several noise generators running through filters, being modulated by LFOs.

Norns controls are:

K1 display help
E1 overall amplitude
E2 near waves amplitude
K2+E2 near waves speed
K3+E2 foam amplitude
E3 far waves amplitude
K2+E3 far waves speed
K3+E3 ambience amplitude

There are a bunch of other parameters that are available through the parameter page, but not mapped to encoders.

historians

ONG is my first own script in the Norns universe. I'm dipping my toes into all this, learning Lua and SuperCollider as I go along.

I'm sure when I look at this in a couple of years or months I would structure many things differently, although having debugged the fabulous Arcologies script by @tyleretters I believe I've already learned a thing or two.

ONG is deeply inspired by the Ocean Noise Generator "guitar" pedal built by Syntherjack. I'm releasing this software version with permission from them.

releases

v1.1.0 viscosity

re-coupled the wave graphics to the sound engine parameters for a more pleasant tweaking experience. the graphic generation has been optimized and should be lag-free now
improved the ambience tweak-ability in the parameter menu
cleaned up sound engine to allow for total silence through the various volume controls
general code cleanup

v1.0.1 ocean cleanup

decoupled the graphics from engine wave speed to prevent UI slowdown / hangs
converted all engine LFOs to audio rate to have cleaner sound when using very high frequencies
automatically deactivate compressor if it is on and restore original setting on exit (thanks @eigen for the hint)

v1.0.0 first waves
