WOMB

WOMB is a random bassline generator script for Monome Norns, created by HANJO (Tokyo, Japan).
It generates 16-step bassline patterns synced to Norns' internal clock, with real-time control over scale, root note, and note density.
WOMB outputs either internal sound via the PolyPerc engine or MIDI notes over USB.
