A parametric acid bassline explorer for Monome Norns.

Prerequisites:

Required

Original Norns, Norns Shield or Fates

Recommended

MIDI controller with multiple sliders, knobs or encoders for parameter-mapping (optimised for Novation Launch Control XL)
Hardware or software tb-303 emulator
MIDI interface or USB cable to connect to the above

tb-303 emulator should apply accent to received MIDI notes with a high velocity value (accent threshold adjustable) and slide to overlapping notes ("mono-legato" mode).

Other synths that have a mono-legato mode and allow velocity to modulate note volume and filter envelope modulation amount and/or cutoff may also produce interesting results.

Installation

Install from Maiden

;install https://github.com/toneburst/bline

Restart Norns to enable engine.

Quick-Start:

E1 : Change parameter page
E2 : Param 1
E3 : Param 2
K2 : Toggle parameter group
K3 : Currently unassigned

Not all parameters are exposed in the UI display. Mapping Params to MIDI controller recommended!

If you have a Novation Launch Control XL, plug it in, assign it to Norns MIDI device slot 16 and load factory patch 1 on the controller. You'll find all the key parameters mapped for you.

If you have another MIDI controller, I recommend starting by mapping the following parameters:

X
Y
Accent Density
Accent Length
Accent Offset
Slide Density
Slide Length
Slide Offset
Rest Density
Rest Length
Rest Offset
