Approaching: norns

Joakim · 2018-05-03T17:22:35.210Z

Excellent! Thank you for the info!

madeinspace · 2018-05-03T17:28:54.711Z

Then I reckon the legit winner should be me then! (#2242)

@tehn What is the first order number for norns? Just want to see who won ‘the first’ game.

SohoSix · 2018-05-03T17:30:22.339Z

Happily snagged one. Excited to join the norns community!

I’m ideally looking at using this with my existing music machines via midi.
Does anyone recommend a good USB to MIDI cable/solution that’s bus powered?

beat me by one! haha.

tehn · 2018-05-03T17:33:45.605Z

click racer #2225 officially.

hypnosapien · 2018-05-03T17:33:49.017Z

I’ve had great success with the iConnectivity mio.

Not sure about potential driver issues…

HateNames · 2018-05-03T17:34:00.982Z

unfortunately my usb - midi cable requires drivers so I guess it’s not going to like norns.

hypnosapien · 2018-05-03T17:34:38.923Z

#2261. Would have thought I was quicker than that. Wow!

anon45924993 · 2018-05-03T17:35:17.481Z

I was so excited to be in the first batch, but I was in a meeting and had to actually participate in the day job. Stoked to be in the second batch!

x2mirko:

Now I’m off to research how chrome force refresh works, because it sure doesn’t work anymore how I remember it.

Just in case anyone else is wondering for future reference: Apparently, there’s many issues with chrome still accessing its cache even with ctrl + f5, but if you want to be absolutely sure that it reloads from a clean slate, open the dev tools (ctrl + shift + i), then right-click on the reload icon and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. You learn something new every day

madeinspace · 2018-05-03T17:36:56.390Z

wow I would have sworn I ordered in the first 20sec and my order number is #2242, amazing!

edbkt · 2018-05-03T17:37:23.290Z

Told myself I was going to wait and see and here I am in batch 2

hypnosapien · 2018-05-03T17:37:28.354Z

Perhaps bad form, but I actually cancelled a lunch meeting I had with someone to make sure I could get in. Glad you got in on batch 2!

burn · 2018-05-03T17:38:28.751Z

I’m one out! Cmon who was it?

Wow that went quick! Congrats to @tehn

wednesdayayay · 2018-05-03T17:39:40.038Z

I need to get some gear sold before I can order

hopefully there will still be some around later

SohoSix · 2018-05-03T17:39:41.794Z

Good deal! I’ve seen the mio mentioned elsewhere too…
Will def look into it! thx!

Ravel · 2018-05-03T17:41:05.451Z

Missed it due to work, but second batch isn’t so bad. Brilliant work @tehn, excited to see what transpires.

greaterthanzero · 2018-05-03T17:43:35.224Z

Maybe?

I’d guess the question of “which layer controls the clock” probably varies by application.

For something like mlr, supercolider has a much better idea of where the beats fall. Particularly if you’re not quantizing every button press. So, I’d imagine it would send messages back to lua when it’s time to update the interface. Ableton Link at the supercollider level seems perfectly appropriate there.

For a simple step sequencer, where each beat triggers a new event to occur, it might make more sense for that to be handled in lua.

…maybe.

Some experimenting required. But I feel like “the clock isn’t an interface element” might be the way to look at this.
