That’s why I’m waiting for Crow. :slight_smile:

These are both very helpful, thanks. Making a clock on an arc came up as a fun demo in a conversation while I was hacking yesterday.

I made a little Norns library that lets you register Norns parameters to work with your scripts, so it “Arc-ifies” most Norns apps with a few lines of code.

This is still a little unpolished, I’ll probably clean it up and give it a better name for the official Norns release:

Great! This is my next challenge. Was looking for details on how to work with the arc – this may offer a glimpse.

Not sure where to post this…

Just got my new arc4 yesterday. I have an Ansible and Max/M4L. And a recent grid128.

Any suggestions as to where to start with arc?

Thanks!

in M4L, I really like Arc Control (there might be two? one with LFOs, one that’s just knobs) from @stretta’s GridLab. It’s pretty simple, but very useful.

Both the Arc Ansible apps seem really fun. A bit more of a learning curve, but more fully-featured with more to explore.

Start with @stretta gridlab for eaxample. You’ll enjoy M4L apps like the Arc Rhythm Generator, Electric Dharma Wheels or Arclab Chrods:

Here’s the github link:

Maybe a stupid question but does it matter which side of the arc, or the grid for that matter, the USB port is on?

With grid, when I plug it into Ansible, it works well with the USB port on the left side…

Thanks!

The “clarck” app is a good example of one where the reason it matters is immediately obvious. Because if you get it wrong, tour clock’s upside down. And with any app, the encoders would be ordered backwards (with 0 on the right and 3 on the left).

It will not reverse which directions you rotate each encoder to increase or decrease a value, however. So, in many cases, you might not notice the difference.

I’d love to add an orientation option because having the cable coming out the left side of my arc is annoying in my current setup. Something I’ll look in to this summer.

/sys/rotation i <degrees>
rotate the monome by degrees, where degrees is one of 0, 90, 180, 270.

I don’t know if this works with arcs, but could be worth a shot!

grid rotation is in the norns code, but I don’t think it’s exposed to the user via a menu option just yet.

arc code does not have rotation just yet.

I’ll take a look at what it would take to add arc rotation in the next couple weeks. I had a prototype working in the arcify library but it’s something that belongs in the core libs.

#42

FWIW - I did the grid rotation code and could probably add arc rotation pretty quickly. What’s taken a long time has been getting some UI for it added to menu.lua

Questions related to Arc.
In particular I want to know if in combination with Ansible it’s possible to use 2 rings with Level and 2 rings with Cycle.
Thank’s.
I hope I haven’t created a post similar to other existing ones! :slight_smile:

No, they are separate modes/applications.

thank you! Yes I saw that there are 2 different applications but maybe some genius had found a way to do it: D

It’s not impossible that somebody could create an alternate firmware, but I’m not aware of any in progress for Arc/Ansible.

Probably not the right place for this but I’d love to be able to use my W/ with the Arc as I think it’s obvious how the Arc would be the perfect interface for it.

Love my Arc, but of my encoders has some annoying jiggle to it and doesn’t feel quite like the others. I tried tightening the two screws with no luck. I’m afraid to dig any deeper into the Arc without guidance. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
