Monome Norns Shield Portable Sound Computer (Acrylic Case) (B-STOCK)

***B-STOCK: Box opened, product in perfect working order*** Bare-bones version of Monome's Norns, a tiny programmable 'sound computer', capable of running DSP programs including synths, samplers, sequencers and much more. Supplier's Notes: Norns is many sound instruments. It is a small, portable, open-source sound computer that dynamically runs scripts and DSP (Digital Signal Processing), such as: - sample-cutter - polysynth - algorithmic drum machine - drone box - granulator - asynchronous looper - polyphasic sequencer Through scripts written in Lua, you can define the behaviour of its on-board rotary controls, keys, and screen, as well as any connected devices. Through a large number of pre-written libraries, norns offers a platform for charting new possibilities in music-making. norns connects easily to grids, MIDI devices, USB-CV interfaces, networked OSC, and other objects. Using engines written with SuperCollider, you can customize and create your own methods of DSP for single performances or longterm exploration. Scripts choose which sound engine to use and then control its parameters using simple programming. Edit scripts through the maiden web interface over WiFi, or load norns as a network drive and use your preferred development environment. Everything is stored internally on the device. Once editing is done, instruments can be immediately run from the onboard selector. norns is designed to be changed, encouraging customization and invention. Monome created studies with lots of code examples to help get started, or you can browse the library of prebuilt instruments made possible with the support of a vibrant international community.
