Hi.
First I have to say thank you for this script. This is one of my favorite :blush::ok_hand:

But I have question, Does the PSET do something ?
I save some presets but it seem not loading.

On some videos it seems users are able to continus Live recording with moving Lfo, is it possible or just an false idea ?

Thanks :pray:

your welcome!!! glad you enjoy it.

right now (as of v0.6), no. nothing is mappable except toggling the recording and changing the pre/rec levels. the lfos have a mind of their own. i’d like to make them mappable at some point but i was pretty naive writing this code and it would be a big code adjustment.

yes, it is possible. while you are recording, one of the voices is dedicated to recording while the other five voices are still playing things in their buffers. the buffer length is quite long until you record the first time. so if you want this effect i can suggest you first record how long you want to record (~10 seconds maybe) but don’t play. then you can record and play and you should hear some random barcoding while your record.

thanks @Cementimental. looks like you sampled some zelda sounds! i’m curious how they sounded on barcode? i have a habit now of taking almost anything in my home and playing it through barcode and seeing how it ends up lol. my favorites so far are wine glasses, ukulele string plucks, and the korg monotron.

Yes it’s some basic homebrew ROM i found where you can play zelda instruments with the D-pad :slight_smile: Made nice instant plinky-plonky ambience ha. I’ll try and do a little video some time when I’ve had more of a play with it

Ok perfect thank you for your answer and clarifying it :blush:
PSET is not essential for this, the init state is just so gorgeous :heart_eyes:

Cheers and all the best

what does the quantize option quantize exactly? I tried it but am not hearing much difference…

quantization will scale all the lfo rates to the current bpm set by the global clock.

“quantization” is not a good term for it since in practice it doesn’t really do that. what it does is let you speed up / slow down the changing lfos by a global scaling factor (the time per beat). for instance, turn the bpm down to 30 will slow everything by half, turning it up to 120 will speed everything by 2x.

would calling it “LFO BPM Sync” help?

First i was like “ok yeah nice nice, but maybe this one isn’t for me”

Then i was like “ok why not try playing arbitrary pads plus acidy beeps from Caustic 3 into it, turn on reverb and let it run maybe it’ll be interesting”

:exploding_head:

I’ve had this program running as ambient on several evenings this week while reading. Thank you!

v0.7.0

just adding filters!

  • feature: add filter!
  • ux: quantize renamed lfo bpm sync (thanks @SPIKE)

just following suite with updates to oooooo. needed to add filters here too. again wish i added them earlier!

@xmacex that’s so cool! would love to hear what you’ve come up with :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Here’s a little piece from yesterday

The motif is two synth tracks running on Caustic 3 straight, and I don’t think it is hard to recognize what stuff comes from Barcode. What went in was some pads also on Caustic 3, which Barcode turned to honey.

Thank you :pray: so much for Barcode!! I‘m having a lot of fun with it!!
I thought it would be nice to have control over rate slew. Do you think that would be possible? Or is it already but I don’t see it :man_shrugging:
Thanks a lot for your work!!

Edit: ok I thought about my question:
Or does the „rate slewing“ come from the lfo?

@xmacex that is beautiful thanks for sharing :slight_smile:

@rejon yeah! i added control over slew rates in the upcoming release. the slewing in most cases is redundant because the lfo is “slewing” so to speak. it does give you more control (in case you have a very fast lfo). also it will change the sound of the lfo that controls the reverse rate…a higher rate slew should make it “zoom” backwards/forwards longer.

v0.8.0 - share and collaborate.

  • new feature: add sharing (via SHARE global parameter) through norns.online/share. upload and download barcode saves from anyone in the world. requires installing norns.online script.
  • new feature: saving/loading via save/load parameters
  • new feature: breakout slew times into params (ty @reijo)

note: to use the sharing you also need to install norns.online. but if you don’t have norns.online, you can still update and use all the other features. the sharing has a lot of moving parts (~2000+ lines of code) and while i tested very thoroughly, some bugs may have fallen through the cracks. please don’t hesitate to lmk if you find a bug.

Most of the sounds are played by the Deluge. Norns is running the Barcode script, looping the melodies from the Deluge and creating that surprising waves of random synths. Finally, a few notes from the piano add to this track so influenced by Boards of Canada.
Barcode is becoming one of my favourite scripts. It’s really easy and quick to get musical results with it.

your track is absolutely wonderful, love your drums and piano playing. the way your using barcode is so neat too, its like a shimmering melodic reverb :slight_smile: thanks for sharing.

Been loving this script recently!! Thanks so much for taking the time to develop it. Can see it playing a large role in some potential live sets whenever they start up again.

One feature I think could be great, and forgive me if it’s in there already, would be the ability to turn the LFOs off at a parameter level. For example, I’d love to be able to set the pitch for each loop and have it remain static while the LFOs run riot on the other parameters.

I’d be happy enough with an option to turn it off on a parameter across all 6 loops as opposed to the ability to turn it off on each loop individually.

Specifically bought a 4ms Listen IO so i could integrate Fates and this script into my modular. Finally have a day off tomorrow so looking forward to diving in some more! Thanks again.

I like everything about Barcode except the tape stop like sound that happens with rate changes. I’d like having an option to increase the speed of the rate changes to make them less of a glide and more of a stepped rate change that way you could still get rate changes but without the slewing between values. I don’t know if it is even possible, but it would be cool. Or the option of being able to turn it off like you suggested would be nice too.

You can change the slew time in the parameters menu from 0-30s.

thanks. I had to update, now I see all the new parameter options, including rate slew time. Awesome! Now it is perfect.
