the friend I built the Norns shield for is having a blast using awake. I installed a bunch of scripts before handing it over, but he is stuck using awake standalone and with crow.

He is wondering, is it possible to run both audio out and crow 1+2 out of awake at the same time? or is it some kind of limitation that does not allow this?

this would work, and is a very easy script change. want to try it?

also, scripting challenge for anyone looking for such a thing:

add a “vintage” param, which adds a degree of variation to the oscillator per step (ie, pitch modulation, cutoff, res, decay).

this is a very easy feature to add, and i find it amusing that such a thing could be a “highlight feature” for a new $3.5k synth (prophet 5)

We also researched what made the original P-5 sound the way it did — organic and alive — and found that a lot of that desirable character was due to fluctuations and differences in the response times and frequencies of the individual oscillators, filters, and envelopes from voice to voice. So we also added a Vintage knob that loosens all of them up like they were in the old days. You can dial in progressively more vintage character as you go from a very stable “4,” as in Prophet-5 Rev4, all the way to “1,” as in Prophet-5 Rev1, which was the most temperamental of all Prophet-5s. We’ve even included the original factory sound set for the full vintage experience.”

ps. i’m sure the synth sounds great :slight_smile:

Yup. I’ll try to do this tomorrow. Had a glance at the script earlier without any hardware and seems pretty simple.

Also, every script should have a “vintage” param. Wow and flutter + soft noise for the masses.

What about a vintage parameter which scrolls down previous commits on git? I’ll be exploring this sorts of concepts once I get a norns going (kit arrived in mail today).

I am not really experienced with GitHub, but submitted a PR that should add audio + crow out1+2 functionality. If someone wants to test I’ve attached the script here(I don’t have a crow myself, but audio out works at least):

Has anyone tried adding lfos to Awake before?

I’m also having an issue saving step and loop data in psets.

Any ideas about the cause?

#239

I’m not sure what caused the problem with presets saving properly, but the next time I tried everything worked fine and continues to do so. Maybe make sure Awake is updated to the latest version?

#240

Updating seems to have done the trick!

Thanks!

Is it just me (or my midi setup), or did Awake at one point sync start/stop over midi and now doesnt?

I was attempting to get Awake playing with the Digitone last night and ran into some trouble. I was sending clock and notes, but it seemed like maybe there was a clock issue… though I’m not exactly sure. Digitone would play the sequence, and then intermittently cut out a few notes, then pick back up, and then cut out again, at what seemed to be rhythmic intervals (a few bars), but was also not quite perfectly timed.

I did get it working with Fugu and Kria, so I know the Digitone was receiving midi from Norns properly.

Any ideas?

Hi @Xylr,
I had a similar problem and it was never solved. In this thread some of the things I tried are documented. It would be interesting to see if our problems are somehow connected.

i’m not sure why you’d need to send clock?

if you’re just sending notes, there’s no need for clock.

sending clock would suggest you’re using norns as a leader clock, whereupon the midi device would have a sequencer (or something) following the clock.

try turning off clock?

I don’t know why I am sending clock either. Great point.

@beat I will update you if I make any progress on this. I’m only connected to Digitone and the grid, and I am using a factory Norns. I’m pretty determined to get this working, so I will document my attempts well going forward.

#246

Were you having problem with just the awake sequence, or other tracks playing back on the Digitone along with what you were sending from Norns?

I just sent notes and clock from Awake and didn’t experience any dropouts. Are you using a midi interface or via usb? I tried with both and didn’t seem to have an issue.

I was using usb direct, but I can try a Mio2 as well. I was only having trouble with Awake… I didn’t try playing any sequenced tracks from Digitone simultaneously, but I was able to trigger notes while it was playing (if I understand your question correctly). As far as I can tell, all params were set correctly… but I’m going to be more thorough in documenting exactly what the setup is when I can get back to it tonight.

Kria and Fugu both worked properly.

#248

Cool, let us know. I’m happy to try things again to see if I can confirm/deny. :slight_smile:
