Norns

TLDR - Monome Norns / Grid (running Takt) sequencing Blackbox with stock samples: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1pr6mgsvb1zld5b/1010takt.MOV?dl=0

Oh man. Someone created an app called Takt for the Norns which replicates most of the Digitakt’s functionality. I hooked it up to the Blackbox (running the Norns through a Keystep into the Blackbox since I don’t have a USB type A to MIDI cable).

Above is a quick vid I put together showing off some of the functionality with Blackbox stock samples. Takt has a Deluge style isomorphic keyboard (although I can only figure out how to hook it up to Midi channel 1). I installed the app 30 minutes before taking this so I’m sure there is other unique functionality I’m missing, but this Deluge / Elektron frankenstein sequencer with the Blackbox is super immediate and powerful.

Again, I didn’t buy the Monome specifically to sequence the Blackbox, I’m interested in writing my own software, but what a great byproduct!
