connect. norns.online is a norns script, a script library, and a website.

share tapes. use the norns.online script to upload or download tapes to norns.online/share.

share script saves. individual scripts also can upload/download saves to norns.online/share by going to the SHARE parameter from within a particular script (devs: feel free to ask me for help to add it your script).

listen and visualize. run the norns.online script to beam your audio+visual data to norns.online/<yourname>.

remote control. the website norns.online/<yourname> has the same inputs as your norns to provide remote access.

collaborate. use the norns.online script to connect to other norns via "rooms." anyone in a "room" shares live audio. the latency is ~4 seconds, so you can imagine that you all are playing together while being socially distanced by a distance of a quarter-mile.

note: the script requires ffmpeg and mpv, which are automatically installed if you use this program (~300 MB).

future directions:

• fix all the 🐛🐛🐛
• audio sharing sync (very hard)
• audio sharing as input to softcut/engine

Requirements

• norns
• internet connection

Documentation

• move with any encoder, select with K3
• update with K1+K2

note: if this is the first time running, wait for the mpv and ffmpeg programs to be installed (~300 MB).

beam your norns

• press go online.
• open browser to norns.online/<yourname>.
• use norns normally, your norns will stay online in the background.

norns↔norns audio sharing

• go to gloal parameters and make sure both "send audio" and "allow rooms" are set to "enabled".
• change the "room" to the room you want to share audio. make sure your norns partner uses the same room.
• go to main screen and press go online. you should now be sharing audio with any other norns in that room.
• adjust "room vol" to change the level of incoming audio.

uses

• make an internet radio from your norns
• collaborate between two norns
• twitch plays norns
• make demos (screen capture norns.online)
• download screenshots (right-click image at norns.online to download)
• tech support other people's norns
• sharing tapes / script saves
• !?!?!?
