Monome Crow
Scriptable USB-CV-ii machine for programmable modular control
2 HP Eurorack module
Crow is a 2HP scriptable CV/gate interface by Monome (collaboration with Whimsical Raps) that bridges computers, norns, and modular synthesizers. It runs Lua scripts to generate complex CV sequences, envelopes, LFOs, quantized pitch, and clock signals from its four outputs, while its two inputs can analyze incoming CV for voltage tracking, clock detection, pitch quantization, and transient detection. Scripts are stored onboard and run autonomously without USB. Crow also communicates over the rear-panel i2c bus with other Monome and Whimsical Raps devices (Just Friends, Ansible, W/, Teletype) for expanded polyphonic and sequencing capabilities.
