One thing that could be explained better is the relationship between triggers on Meadowphysics modes.

It took me a bit of experimentation to figure out how the triggers work in 4CV/4TR mode:
The triggers light up based on how many events are firing simultaneously. For example, trigger 3 only lights up if at least 3 events reach the left edge simultaneously. Still having trouble figuring out which pitch is selected.

One minor correction: Both MIDI modes apparently show a white LED.

Can’t wait to start firmware hacking!

Speaking of firmware hacking, I have an algorithm to morph smoothly between saw, triangle, and ramp shapes. I think that might be a good improvement for Cycles.

I’m guessing that there might have been a reason for this exclusion, but it seemed that cycles might be able to get a small menu system like levels where a long hold on 2 and then pressing 1 might cycle (sorry) through some more pages

In my mind shape per ring, range, and offset (last 2 could be functionally identical to levels) would be extremely functional. currently I’m achieving this using the attenuators on -isms, but having it included in levels has me wondering if it could be in cycles as well leaving those attenuators free for other attenuation

I’m not experienced in much coding beyond light javascript tinkering in max, so i’m pitching that into the idea ether, or as a way down the road project for myself

Caveat on all requests/ideas proposed: even in its current state, this unit has quickly become something I’ve lost hours noodling w/. Its got a lot of really compelling/functional ideas under the hood

I came here to post the exact same about cycles. Very easy to get lost in it, and I mean that in a good way. But a couple things, that I think are in the spirit of Ansible/Arc would take it to the next level

  • Tempo sync via teletype
  • attentuation/inversion of signal (12 o clock on the dial is 0, rotate to change)
  • Wave shaping (12 o clock triangle, CCW takes it to saw, CW to ramp)
  • Divide by more than 2 on the speed

Obviously siplicity is king, but these seem like they could fit in very well. (and would make me not miss my QCD/QPLFO/SISM anymore!)

But like I said, this thing is awesome as it stands. The hard part is deciding between levels and cycles. Maybe a split mode…ok i’ll stop.

Question: in Levels, what is ‘all edit’ mode for volts and notes? Asking for a friend…

#28

I believe it makes the ring write to all steps in the sequence. from my recollection if there’s not a clock in it seems to be constantly updating the cv value, while with a clock triggring ansible it updates each time the sequence would change

hope that helps your friend

somehow neglected to add this in the docs.

“all edit” edits all 16 patterns with any update. so that ring becomes persistently “live” and pattern changes don’t affect it.

Confusing at first…but I suppose if the module was being clocked, you could switch to that mode to have it come off of the clock and fall under manual control. Is that the intended use?

#31

I’m synching Ansible to MIDI clock in Ableton. It’s only receiving 1/4 note pulses from my MIDI out.
Is this normal, and if so, do I need a clock multiplier to get 1/8th, 1/16th, etc notes using Kria and MP?

I’ve set the Time setting in Kria/MP so it’s at the highest rate, but my sequences will only go 1/4 note per step at the fastest.

#32

Instead of sending midi sync, send 16th notes from a midi clip out to the ansible.

#33

How do you make the connection between Live and Ansible?

#34

Of course, why didn’t I think of that! Though it would be nice not to need a dedicated 16th note track.

MIDI clock out from iRig Pro Duo or iConnect MIDI4 through Pittsburgh Modular MIDI 2 CV, Sync Out of PM to Clock In of Ansible. I’m pretty sure I can’t tweak the MIDI clock settings for either of the i-devices, though I haven’t yet looked at the clock specs for PM M2CV.

#35

While the PM M2CV would be the device to look after, I don’t think it has a tweakable clock setting. The iDevices should not be able to do it since they just submit midi clock. You could try an audio track with a steady trigger signal output too, if there is on left unused, depends on what Ansible/MP expect.

There are some options you could buy but maybe the sending a faster midi track to the gate out is the simplest/cheapest.

#36

MIDI clock out should be one trigger per eighth note as per the docs, of course there could be a bug.

The larger question is whether 1/8th note timing is was a good idea in the first place (there was a reason for it but that reason escapes me).

If 16th note clock is better it is an easy change.

I should add that one intended enhancement was to allow the midi clock rate to be configurable via teletype.

#37

16ths would be rad. I’m always for faster clocks, easier to divide down than multiply up.

very cool idea! i have TT, but ansible currently lives in a smaller case on it’s own - so no ii coms for my setup. are you thinking this would be something you could set from TT, and then would be saved as default to ansible, or would you need to run an INIT script with each power cycle?

Hello,

it might be a very stupid question but I have tried to delet a pattern or better to reset it and I was not able to do so…

the only way I found is to go into preset, change it without saving , then go back to the previous one.
Is there a way to do in the pattern view directly?

I might miss something so please forgive me.

#39

this is basically correct.

if you’re working on preset 1, and it was blank when you started, if you want to reset to nothing you can just reload preset 1.

but if preset 1 has data stored in it and you want to erase it, you’ll need to do as you suggest. load preset 2 (or whatever is blank) and the write that to preset 1. no need to reload preset 1 as you’re already in a blank state.

#40

Thanks for the reply :slight_smile:

well do not want to sound too picky but assuming I have done a lot of work on other patterns and I just want to reset pattern one and I do not want to loose the preset, I am not able to do it without basically going through all the pages of KRIA and reset everything.

Sometime it can be a very complex game.

Any possibility of thinking about it in an update?

Thanks

#41

ah, i misread. patterns, not presets.

but yes, the idea is the same.

do you have some UI proposition for resetting a pattern?

#42

well
the pattern page has a lot of free buttons as it uses only the top row.
Maybe we can say

2nd row reset (back to the 6 steps, no note, no clock division)
3rd row copy pattern
4th row past pattern
5th row and more no idea for the moment…

or maybe
2nd row reset first row of the pattern
3rd row reset second row of teh pattern
4th row reset third row of the pattern
5th row reset fourth row of the pattern
6th row copy entire pattern
7th row paste entire pattern
