thanks for looking into it - unfortunately I got a load fail on that new update.

I just reinstalled the original version again and now it’s working. Not sure what the deal was - after each installation I rebooted. I am using Cyberduck to transfer the files.

This is takt - parameter locking step sequencer.
I’ve created pull request so you can already try it out.

Argh, sorry about that. I refactored some other parts and broke something. It’s fixed now in the most recent version on the Github. Thank you so much for your help!

thanks for the instruction. Sorry for noobism here: But do you refer to serial port as USB?
Is it also possible via USB and sync to disk?

so yeah - I mean connecting via the charging USB

There is a fair amount of detail elsewhere on here. This post of mine (there are plenty of others talking about it - was just easier to find my own post) describes my workflow give or take

No you can’t sync to disk that way - either connect the wifi and use ssh or sftp (or rsync ) or you can just copy files to a usb stick - use the USB connection above and copy files off of the USB - my wifi connection on the Norns is still kind of flakey and drops out a lot - so I tend to use the USB approach

No worries, thanks for sorting! - i think this sequencer and others like Loom and Strides could be the tipping point for many people wanting to buy Norns. Somebody already requested this app to be done on Teletype! I see there’s a Chaos 3 OP - Cellular Automata…

Here’s one more…no more, I promise :slight_smile: -

Thanks so much, I’ll give it a shot when I next get a chance!

Ok, takt is ridiculously good. Parameter locks for everything, speed, probability, filters, repeats, clock dividers per step. The amount of detail and work gone into this is scary, from saving patterns, songs, pattern switching, individual looping of tracks like Kria. This is like having a Machine Drum / Digitakt… Elektron should be worried. Thankyou for turning my Norns into a bad version of Autechre! I need to get my glitch chops back :slight_smile: Awesome app.

The only issue I have is with the Norns box itself, not this app - those Norns knobs forever jumping values whenever trying to fine adjust parameters (even when the sequencer is stopped) can be very frustrating, The knobs are just not as responsive as they should be when you turn them which I guess is a Norns firmware thing. It’s never really bothered me before, but the encoder sluggishness, is highlighted much more with this app, because there are so many parameters and options you can change.

re: encoders. i did a recent update to improve acceleration and sensitivity, and i think they feel great now! once the update is out i’d appreciate any feedback.

Heres a video clip of the Fugu app that I found in the code review section. It’s a fugue machine port from Teletype and surprised it’s not been mentioned too much - click for video

I have the exact same problem, but I’ve been too afraid to open up the unit because I have no experience or knowledge. :frowning:

All my encoders are also glitched, making it select values incorrectly. If I scroll down a menu with an encoder relatively fast it sometimes goes the opposite direction. All these issues even after sending it back for reparation makes me wonder about the build quality… I think I have used the unit around 10 times since I purchased it on batch #1.

Looks like this may already be fixed in an upcoming update.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Norns: encoder issues

This is a video to show Norns midi out Zellen sequencer script controlling the modular via sevillasoft midi usb-usb converter and Expert Sleepers FH-1 module. The soundsource is 3 outputs from the Phase Displacement Oscillator

Full video here http://youtu.be/SdVCDgMENFA

I’ve also tried Norns with Ansible connected via the sevillasoft and it works well to get 4 channels CV/Gate

Thankyou! Will check it out.

Your MPE script looks really interesting! I tried connecting Seaboard Block and for some reason it doesn’t get detected by Norns, any idea why that might be happening? In the midi settings I can see that it is recognised but neither the screen nor the audio reacts to anything I do with it.
