sorry, i’m falling at first hurdle…but I don’t see arcology in maiden available list, even when refreshed. Where am I going wrong please?
Thanks!

does your screen look different?

Yes.

Did you maybe refresh the base group instead of community (there are two refresh buttons)? It shows up for me

vod up!

huge thanks to @cosmicsoundexplorer itsmeaflow (dunno your name here) for hanging out and keeping me company. itsmeaflow: in response to your question as we were wrapping - i am SUPER intrigued by the idea of a different plane for sewers or something. thanks for that idea.

Just had a play around with this - the first thing I’ve used to properly test out my new grid. It’s immense! My brain is starting to wrap around the possibilities. Can’t wait to hook it up to my modular.

Next we just need similar functionality to that of Plane to build out absolutely enormous Arcologies that span beyond the 128 Grid!

Great additions! These videos are a treat to watch for sure!

@tyleretters
i was just thinking about this the past few days…
and seeing the giant grid in the post above…triggered more thought.

would it be possible to “transmit” from one norns to another via a MIDI structure that is a transmitter from the first norns to the receiver on the second norns which would pass the event on?

so i could pass an event from norns #1 to norns #2 to norns #3 etc., etc.
:stuck_out_tongue:
maybe similar to tunnel where it can receive from assigned channels.

ALRIGHT @SPIKE and @mwilliams we are now in the “tyler-is-running-away-screaming” territory of feature requests. lmao an enormous arcologies is totally doable but i think we’ve just barely scratched the surface of what can be done with 128 and 64 cells. if i start seeing .arcology files maxing out the real estate i’ll think about doing some sick scrolling and panning like this. same with norns-to-norns broadcasting. if you want to buy me a second norns i’d build it lol.

Hahaha yeah my request was primarily in jest - keep up with your current roadmap!

@tyleretters i just started playing with this, and i have to say thank you for pulling me out of a bad musical funk i’ve been having over the last few months!

i have one usability question re: auton. for me just friends doesn’t respond unless i start up another norns script that has an option to explicitly turn synth mode on (like just-play, awake, etc.) to initialize it. unless i’m missing something, would it be possible to have that as a menu parameter option in arcologies too?

I noticed this too- it sometimes works if you plug and unplug the usb cable or reboot the modular to get it going to clear just friends settings.

Really enjoying the new modes. Thankyou for all the additions. It’s really become a lot deeper and inspiring.

Here’s testing the new Mirage / Just Friends / w/

and another Just Friends

I’m starting to think w/ synth mode and w/ delay mode would be a great addition. Since every parameter is accessible by i2c unlike Just Friends. And tbh w/ synth mode sounds imo great as an extra voice. I think the w/ tape is still beta and maybe going to be changed.

i tried unplugging and rebooting as well, but the most consistent results i had was with a different norns script… when i have a teletype connected i can use that as well i guess, but it’s not in my main modular case right now…

Ok that’s good to know, I’ll do that next time and run a different script first.

thanks for the extra info. i’ve been trying to pinoint what is going on with this. i thought i properly implemented turning synth mode on here. i’ve always gotten it to work with a combination of unplugging the usb and restarting arcologies. i think the issue might actually be with the crow connection and not jf. does anyone know what we might need to change in this file?


@jflee that makes me so happy to hear you’re out of the funk


@mlogger really beautiful patches, thank you so much for sharing. i’ll add w/ support to the backlog.
