Expands on the original Awake app for Norns by adding pages/features:
MOD - per-step transpose “scheduling” on every 2nd/3rd/etc. time the step is active
XPLSN - set fuse and various ‘end of sequence’ mod effects are available
FNDTN - establish a foundational sequence preset and reset to that foundation later
I was playing a sequence, manually changing a step value every 4th time the sequence played, and thought… I wonder if I could figure out how to code that, seems like a simple use case.
- note: I do not have a grid so I didnt touch any of the Grid code
Requirements
Norns - keyboard optional
Pretty sure you’ll need Norns update 210114
Documentation
See regular Awake for typical functionality. These two pages have been added:
–OPTION–
K2/K3 octave down/up
–MOD–
E1 to navigate to the MOD screen
E2 selects which mod step to edit
E3 selects the mod value for the step:
- off - mod step not active
- 1 to 8 - transpose note up when mod step is active
- -1 to -7 - transpose note down when mod step is active
- mute - mutes current step when mod step is active
K3 increases the trig division/K2 decreases
- off - mod step not active
- /1 to activate mod step every time the step is active (useful for ‘auditioning’ the transpose)
- /2 for every other time the step is active
etc
- up to /8 for every 8th time the step is active
Hold K1 + K2 to clear all active mod steps
Hold K1 + K3 to randomize all mod steps
Notes:
mod steps are indicated by a grey ‘step’ underneath the LOOP line
when a mod step is activated it will turn from grey to white and a small dot will appear above the step
Neat trick: if a regular step is inactive (i.e. no note), you can trigger a note to play using the mod step. Ex: mod = 1
trig = /2
Every other time the step is active, it will trigger the first note in the scale.
–XPLSN–
K2 light fuse/snuff fuse
K3 light quick fuse
E2 set fuse timer or rpt
E3 set type
fuse timer (once lit) decreases by 1 at the end of each loop
once timer reaches 0, sequence modification activates
set fuse timer to “rpt” to activate mod at the end of each sequence
types:
- morph1 - top sequence is morphed
- morph2 - bottom sequence is morphed
- stp-rnd - top/bottom sequences are randomized
- mod-rnd - mod steps are randomized
- fndtn1-4 - sequence resets to foundation preset 1-4
- oct-up - change root note up one octave
- oct-dwn - change root note up down one octave
- fractal - a randomized mix of shuffle, mirror, morph and mute using FNDTN1 as the base sequence
–FNDTN–
K2 to set foundation
K3 to reset all steps and lengths to foundation
E2 select foundation preset 1-4
The idea is:
- set the foundation to save all your current steps, length, mod steps
- add, remove, screw up your sequence
- reset everything you screwed up back to the foundation… meant to be a performance tool
Keyboard controls:
F1 to F7 - mapped to each of the pages (STEP, LOOP, etc…)
F9 to F12 - reset to FNDTN 1 - 4
Shift + F9 to F12 - set FNDTN 1 - 4
“Alt”- K1
“<” - K2
“>” - K3
Left/right arrow - E2
Up/down arrow - E3
“-” - octave down
“=” - octave up
“delete” - remove step
Left ctrl + 1 -9 - transpose down
Right ctrl + 1- 9 - transpose up
Download
v1.0.8 (based off 2.4.0 Awake)
If you open a terminal on a computer, you should be able to install this with:
ssh we@norns.local (or using IP address from SELECT screen)
password: sleep
cd dust/code
git clone https://github.com/hypnogogue/awake-mod.git
To update after initial install should be:
cd dust/code/awake-mod
git pull
This is my first foray into GitHub and sharing code to a community, so be gentle
