There’s reference here from a few years ago to varispeed lines, or “varilines”, as opposed to the old lines. But lines on 0.8 seems operationally the same to my memory as lines on 0.6. I guess I’d imagined div/mul would be different or replaced by something more… like varispeed. Perhaps it sounds better but feels the same. No complaints, really just curious if I’m missing something.

No that’s correct ‘lines’ should not have changed in sound or functionality and ‘varilines’ should have been included in the release iirc. Varilines is not perfect, artefacts still pretty noticeable. But not totally horrible, ymmv. It’s not been tested or used much.

I’ve been following development of softcut and seems the problem of getting really smooth varispeed digital tape would have been pretty hardcore on the blackfin!

So I’d go aleph usb host port out to one of those usb to midi converter cables, and then how does the midi cable end get converted back to usb for norns?

#24

I mean, you could theoretically use two usb midi converters, one for the norns, one for the aleph. This would work best if one of the usb midi devices is, like, a keyboard or something with female DIN connector, and one of the usb midi is, like, a regular usb midi with male DIN connector.

However aleph can only take one usb device at once so you wouldn’t be able to plug a grid simultaneously in this setup. Adding aleph support to norns is definitely the way forward!

I ordered this. Let y’all know how it goes.

#26

any progress with this effort btw?

#27

That adapter works great for clock norns–>aleph. Haven’t tried reverse. Haven’t tried notes or CCs. Presumably will work all around. Very handy; somewhat clunky, but nothing compared to every alternative.

Would be very stoked for a serial solution.

Hi, please, could you tell me if this DEV branch contains the 0.8.1 source code? I’m working to port the max app returns for Arc as an Aleph’s OP, but the firmware that I obtain contains a not working KRIA OP.
Your hex file works fine…
Moreover, I receive the following warning during the compilation…
I know that I should use Github, but I don’t understand how it works and so, for now, I prefer to program offline and share the code only at the end, when all work :wink:

Hmm @SYS2064 not clear from your post where you obtained 0.8.1 source code. monome’s github Dev branch should definitely correspond to the 0.8.1 release. Did you ‘git clone’ to get the code?

#30

yes, that’s what I done:
git clone --recursive --branch dev https://github.com/monome/aleph
moreover I tried to cut&paste the code from
https://github.com/monome/aleph/blob/dev/apps/bees/src/ops/op_kria.c
https://github.com/monome/aleph/blob/dev/apps/bees/src/ops/op_kria.h
but nothing change, I still get the same warning and KRIA op doesn’t work
