Unless it’s meant to be ‘not public’ until it’s properly public, it would be great to see one of the scripts in its entirety.

yeah actually

might not need video for that if they fit within a screenshot or something

#1437

hey all, apologies for the delay. prioritizing getting units built/shipped inevitably pushed docs down.

scripts repository will be public quite soon. keep in mind this isn’t a “study” with copious explanations… but there are some documented scripts. of course lua is also quite self-explanatory (most of the time)

re: loading new samples onto device. use a USB thumbdrive, FAT formatted. do SYSTEM > SYNC (to disk). then put this disk in your computer. add audio files (aif, wav, at 48k) to dust/audio (here you can also pull your TAPE files off). once new files are on the disk, put it back in norns, do SYSTEM > SYNC (from disk) and that’ll copy the files to your onboard audio folder.

hey just in case this is what others have asked for, or perhaps what the monome team planned…full fledged studies are not what i’m expecting in the repo at ALL

i assumed we’d see the source code (of engines and scripts) and that’s it

just letting yall know in case you’re feelin pressured
this is all really fantastic so thanks for the massive effort involved to produce this instrument

Is midi going to be the best way to control norns with a pedal?

#1440

i have a few opensource teensy projects i’d like to make ASAP. first is a pedal interface. second is a CV trigger in, trigger out— for basic sync. they could be MIDI, as that’d be super easy to interface with the existing MIDI framework which is built into norns already. but they could also be serial.

sync via CV: yes please!

Hoping crow will be a good way to interface with modular. I just recently started putting together a system and have held of on a es8/ midi sync modules. Figured Norns / crow would be my way in.

#1443

Oooh been looking forward to this! Might whip up one myself in Arduino, using OSC via USB. Or, adapt a Keith McMillen Softstep!

Someone else mentioned positive grids BT4 Bluetooth pedal. Would be amazing to be able to use this?

#1445

is it bluetooth midi? that’d work (i think) if you had a bluetooth dongle (norns doesn’t have bluetooth).

but yes the idea is to have super-low-cost DIY solutions to some needed peripherals. certainly crow will offer sync/etc, but this teensy CV sync is something that could be rolled in an afternoon.

ok-- back to build/ship and then documentation tonight.

From their FAQ:

At the moment, the BT-4 pedal works only with iOS.

And they mention lack of OSX, Windows support. So I guess that means it may not be as simply as adding a dongle?? Seems a shame as i agree it would be a great pairing for Norns.

#1447

will the rest of batch one go out today? :slight_smile:

#1448

Shame. Thanks though.

#1449

I assumed that people who bought them knew or maybe expected that Norns is Linux based now people are talking about Bluetooth N stuff and I am getting a bit confused.

Why is that? Enlighten us.

#1451

linux supports bluetooth. just a matter of getting the bits lined up.

shipping today, yes.

You can even control bluetooth via command line in linux!

I don’t have a norns, but I imagine the Mutable Instruments CVPal might be useful with it. Can be built from a kit, and shows up as a class compliant USB midi device that outputs CV / Gate (no CV or gate inputs, though).

Question re: FAT formatting:

Does Norns prefer FAT or FAT32? Both options are available under MacOS Disk Utility, and the only format it seems to allow me to format to is FAT32.
