oh yes! I totally forgot to ensure that that was the case. I can fix that in an update. I’ll add in a couple of other things I am noticing and would like to have as well.

I’m not sure! I don’t have a grid and am not sure how it works in terms of communication. But the patch does support MIDI quite easily.

#17

really pleased to see some more experimental, unpredictable type noises and sound device scripts on norns - thankyou!

I think I munged this with another demo I saw. It sounds really rungly! I’ve made a few and ported a few Benjolins and this is a wonderful patch

2.0.0 Update! (install from the Maiden library)

Breaking changes

The params menu has changed (it won’t change again but hence the 2.0.0 designation)
*(If you have previously installed Benjolis AND have, at any time, mapped a MIDI controller to the parameters, please delete the file /home/we/dust/data/benjolis/benjolis.pmap [note that you will lose the previous mappings])

Updates

  • UI controls now provide feedback when modified from a mapped controller
  • Added 4 external MIDI-note input mappings for external sequencing (this can get pretty nuts)
    • MIDI notes can be mapped to either frequency or “CC” style params
    • Mappings can be enabled and disabled via MIDI mapping
    • Mappings can be MIDI Channel specific
  • Better spacing of UI
  • Simple delay-based panner

Most of this was in order to satisfy some features I needed as well (such as enabled and disabled external control per channel).

Also please be careful with the rungler filter and Q as this can be sensitive to explosions (especially if you are piping it through the reverb).

Let me know if there are any issues.

I used Benjolis to great effect at a show this past weekend. I recorded the set, but have yet to listen back to it. It’ll probably be some time before I’m able to go back to it and share, but I will eventually. Anyway, thanks for the great script, @scazan.

@loma that’s great to hear! would love to hear the result!

#25

wondering if anyone has experienced this…after midi mapping my 16n to all the parameters (accept the volume) when i reload the script it no longer produces any audio. although the midi mapping has saved which is helpful.

*hmmmm strange i tried restarting a few times and now it seems to be fine false alarm!

ok so after playing with it for a few mins after restarting it stopped producing audio again:/

#26

Yes I’ve had this happen too. After tweaking some settings in Benjolis, I had it crash the audio and had to reset Fates to have it work again.

ah I think I know what this is… is it by chance changing the rungler filter that is causing this?

I will look into the engine and see if I can add some safeties. I think it is blowing up the filter.

#28

it’s hard to tell which parameter is causing it, giving the more chaotic nature of tweaking parameters. it seems fine for a while and then just dies out. usually putting my fates to sleep will temporarily solve it until it happens again.

#29

Benjolis 2.0.1

Added in some limiting/soft distortion when it peaks to prevent the filters from exploding.
This should help prevent crashing the norns and causing you to need rebooting. I’ll keep testing to see if I can crash it some more just in case :slight_smile:

I highly recommend updating to this release as it can prevent accidental and sudden auditory surprises/assaults.

Update from the Library or download directly from the links at the top.

Thats an awesome Display you got going there. Looks fantastic with the panel color and dials. Whats the specs on it? Do you have a digi/mouser part number?

#33

are you referring to the orange led display that @justmat has on the norns in the video?

Ah, if that is the case, it’s this screen here…

Also, just in case, that is a factory norns with an alternative screen. If you’re looking for the yellow screen for a norns sheild or fates build, it needs the pin header, not the ribbon cable connections.
