getting started

to start making music just press [key3] and use encoders 2 & 3 to tag some stars.

if you like your little sequence press [key3] again to lock it and just watch the stars pass by, otherwise constellations can make some comically long sequences with ease. Clear your sequence with [key2].

A star’s location on the Y axis determines the note value (bottom of the screen is low notes, top of the screen is high notes). A star’s size determines the release time and crow’s bipolar cv. A star’s brightness determines the amplitude and crow’s unipolar cv.

controls

• [key 1] hold for ALT
• [key 2] clears the sequence
• [key 3] locks/unlocks the sequence
• [enc 1] time division to the Norns master clock
• [enc 2] crosshair Y axis
• [enc 3] crosshair X axis
• ALT + [enc1] probability
• ALT + [enc2] star density
• ALT + [enc3] star size
• ALT + [key2] sequence shift
• ALT + [key3] sequence pop

output, sequencer params, engine params are located in the parameter menu (again thanks to awake & tehn)

• [engine, crow, jf, midi] outputs are all available
• [scale, root, probability, max sequence length, and overwrite logic] are available under ‘sequencer params’
• all notable engine params are available

crow:

• [input2] unipolar (0-5v) control over Y axis
• [output1] 1 volt per octave
• [output2] clock pulse
• [output3] unipolar cv (0-5v)
• [output4] bipolar cv (-5-5v)
