bline

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

See wiki for more information.
