gatherum

a omnium-gatherum of norns ideas / single purpose scripts.

this is a collection of scripts I've generated during my musical journey with norns + SuperCollider. they are not quite "fully formed", but all of them work well for their intended purpose. I continue to find these useful for my own learning and/or for a specific musical purpose.

current scripts:

• br: sample-based noisy chaotic breakbeat created using the Breakcore UGen. (demo)
• brbr: sample-based chaotic breakbeat engine using my sample engine + Task (possibly less noisy than br) (demo)
• brbrbr: live-input breakcore engine (add fx maybe too?)
• kalimba: a kalimba follower for Am-tuned kalimba

use these as-is. or play with them. change them. install them, delete them. break them. unbreak them. make them something else. make them your own. the lua scripts are all small (<100 lines) and straightforward. the engines may be interesting starting points or ending points for something.

documentation

the code serves as documentation, and I can fill in the gaps by answering questions.

live.lua

this is a live coding foundation, using maiden + norns scripts as the code.

lines from a norns script can be quickly and easily run using vim.

to use with vim, first download wscat - a utility for piping commands to a websocket server (maiden).

wget https://github.com/schollz/wscat/releases/download/binaries/wscat
chmod +x wscat
sudo mv wscat /usr/local/bin/

then you can edit your .vimrc file to include these lines which will automatically run the current selected line when you press ctl+c:

set underline
nnoremap <C-c> <esc>:silent.w !wscat<enter>
inoremap <C-c> <esc>:silent.w !wscat<enter>i

now whenever you use the key combo ctl+c it will send the current line in vim into maiden!

download

;install https://github.com/schollz/gatherum

make sure to restart, as there are several engines here that require re-compiling.
