amenbreak

Airflow · 2024-09-15T16:24:03.485Z

try these steps: uninstall. install restart norns. open maiden and start amenbreak for the first time. capture all the maiden output, if it doesn’t work, please paste the maiden output. the maiden output will be super helpful for me to not guess at whats going on…

Just as you did, here is the outpot:

script clear

script load: /home/we/dust/code/amenbreak/amenbreak.lua

initializing data folder

including /home/we/dust/code/amenbreak/lib/sample.lua

including /home/we/dust/code/amenbreak/lib/ggrid.lua

script run

m.read: /home/we/dust/data/amenbreak/amenbreak.pmap not read, using defaults.

EDIT: If I’m not uninstalling or restarting right after trying to reopen amenbreak, none of the other scripts are workings. here is an example of me trying to open Rachim -

any errors in the supercollider tab?

McNUG · 2024-09-17T16:11:04.585Z

May have already been asked, but are you on the latest norns image?
I’m on shieldxl and I load normally, so I can confirm it’s not an xl issure.
The first time it says ‘loading’ after install, I walk away from it, because its patching in a ton of audio files. After that, loading should only take a few seconds.

amenbreak Library

any errors in the supercollider tab?

This -
ERROR: Message ‘ar’ not understood.

Also there is a lot of those:
Meta_MethodError:new 0x79fb60
arg this = DoesNotUnderstandError
arg what = nil
arg receiver = nil

The Maiden outout is the same

infinitedigits · 2024-09-21T11:45:06.909Z

could you copy and paste all of the Super collider output? some ugen is the reason is not working. there is more info there to say what exactly is wrong

Rectangular_Eye · 2024-09-26T22:16:42.515Z

So, last night I tried installing this on my norns at home and nothing works after installing except playing back tape files. No scripts open and maiden is unresponsive. I removed it, back to normal. Tried again, same thing. I’ve installed it on the shield at work and it works without issue (and is quite fun I might add). Any suggestions?

okyeron · 2024-09-27T00:08:20.683Z

Check available disk space?

Rectangular_Eye · 2024-09-27T03:06:00.963Z

Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be it. I’ve got tons of room, and even went in and deleted a bunch of tape recordings just to be sure.

infinitedigits · 2024-09-27T03:08:52.299Z

@Rectangular_Eye not to sound like a broken record, but any logs from maiden / supercollider are invaluable to figure out whats wrong. can you share any?

@Airflow also…

one thing that this script tries to install is amenbreak PortedPlugins when you first start. if the first start doesn’t have internet or is interrupted, some strange things can happen. to split out that step might be a solution or at least might find some cracks in whats happening or whatever, so here’s some steps:

uninstall amenbreak
install tapedeck
restart norns
run tapedeck
install amenbreak
restart norns
run amenbreak

I’m not sure this is the exact order that needs to be done at all, but if any of these steps go wrong it tells me a lot of information.

I don’t have your system so your assistance in figuring this out is so crucial and I hope you can help me to figure this out.

Rectangular_Eye · 2024-09-27T03:23:54.420Z

I’m not sure how to retrieve them, as after trying to boot amenbreak, maiden completely stops responding. I’ve tried it a handful of times, but no dice. Is there another way to retrieve logs?

infinitedigits · 2024-09-27T03:27:18.813Z

@Rectangular_Eye if you have maiden open before you boot amenbreak, booting amenbreak might print some things to the window before it crashes - that info is helpful!

also I forgot to ask, what kind of norns + what version of firmware is on it?

Rectangular_Eye · 2024-09-27T03:30:14.623Z

Will try tomorrow (typing from bed atm). I’ve got a grey monome build with the latest firmware.

mmryspace · 2024-09-27T03:34:54.760Z

Any mods installed? Didn’t see that mentioned but might try turning them off & restarting before running the script

Rectangular_Eye · 2024-09-27T03:37:25.281Z

Also tried that - no dice.

Ok, this is what maiden spit out when booting amenbreak:

do you have tape deck installed? does it run?

@Rectangular_Eye should be fixed now! just remove everything, install amenbreak, restart, run amenbreak.

xmacex · 2024-09-28T13:17:51.998Z

The script is called amenbreak, so it’s only appropriate it breaks.

Rectangular_Eye · 2024-09-28T15:44:23.907Z

I don’t now what you did, but it worked!

Sorry for the delay! File shared here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16iq9ex4PzFM_l9eVJPEZRfcA0GZVseY7/view?usp=drive_link

no distortion, no decimation, volume set to -8 db and at 3/4 on the mixer screen. the distortion is consistent even with the drumpunch being filtered and changing sample

quite possibly this is me being stupid…
