hands
A generative MIDI player for monome norns. It writes melody, harmony and accompaniment and sends them out to whatever you have plugged in. Free-running by default, and it can follow the norns clock instead.
It has three engines. classic is a two-hands piano player. ambient is a chord engine. Slowly evolving, voice-led chord pads on up to four voices, with an optional floating melody on top. loops is a set of phasing tape loops. Hold K1 and turn E1 to switch.
