For me, this would definitely help me keep track of where I am in the buffer. Helps me keep track of where “1” is in relation to the buffer.

Thank you for being so flexible and inclusive with this script. It has so many uses. The delay page is epic. I love fiddling with rate and then touching the octave buttons and then turning up the feedback to make a kind of infinite arpeggio or pad.

somebody asked me recently whether they can still use arps in some way w/o grid or midi keyboard

might seem obvious but this is so deep I wanted to check for sure, alt controls might be buried in here somewhere

Wow wow wow!
I’m absolutely loving CC2. The combination of JF and midi control on top of chopping live audio is giving me so much joy.
What a way to start the new year!!!

Everyday I’m learning new things.
One thing I can’t seem to figure out, or maybe it isn’t possible yet, is when you have played in a pattern and have it quantised to the clock, can’t you set divisions or multiplications Per pattern?
I’d love to be able to play in a pattern and then slow it down or speed it up like it’s on the Arp settings page.

Oh a side note I’ve experienced a few lock ups after a very long time running it. 4hrs or so and it’ll freeze.

(days are nearly back to normal, thanks for the patience y’all!)

arps depend on some external selection mechanism, so there wouldn’t be a direct way to feed arps from norns only. however, if the effect they’re looking for is a steady sequence of notes that they can control, that’s where [euclid] comes in :slight_smile: you can get to some really nice arp-like territory by:

  • set euclid’s k and n to the same number to get steady steps (or just use the euclidean rhythms)
  • hold K1 and use E2 set the mode to span, which will fire off the pad associated with the tick number
  • press K3 to swing over to the right side of the screen
  • hold K1 and use E3 to set an auto pad ID offset (+/-) to any number and the pad associated with the tick number will auto-advance

in total, the effect of k = 3, n = 3, span, and +/- offset = -4 will be like:

  • pads 1,2,3
  • pads 13,14,15
  • pads 9,10,11
  • pads 5,6,7
  • pads 1,2,3
  • <> repeats pattern <>

you can also set the rate of the sequence by holding K1 when setting the mode from single to span:

thank you for the kind words @cosmicsoundexplorer, much appreciated! your capture on IG the other day was :100::fire::sparkling_heart:

just not possible yet – the first heavy order of business when i’m back with the script is rewriting the pattern recording function, so this is definitely on the roadmap :sparkles:

re: freezes after 4 hours (wild!), if you can provide any logs from maiden (the norns core devs are also working on building out more robust logging), that’d be awesome. otherwise, i’ve not run into that during my own use, but will keep an eye out :slight_smile:

This is the current state of the TouchOSC layout for tablets. Once I finish the DELAY tab I’ll share everything. Please let me know what you think, if you would change/add/remove something of the params available.

@ CarlosUnch
as a new user, would you or someone else be willing to share a video of how you or another use your new TouchOSC template with CC2? I am confuzzled by a few functions on this template… also will this template trigger the Arp functions?

#273

looks fantastic @CarlosUnch!

not currently and not likely out the gate, but i’ll work on adding this. i’ll need some time with the template to best plan for extensions :slight_smile:

i’m sure there will be some video demos + docs once released :rainbow:

the TouchOSC template does mirror existing functions, though, so if you have a question about any please post 'em @Buzzard_Brothers

@dan_derks as I understand it the CC2 Arp can be triggered with a Grid, right?

#275

yes! grid or MIDI can both feed CC2’s arps – but OSC messages aren’t piped through, since the OSC connectivity for CC2 was originally designed with Ableton Live in mind, which would handle arpeggiating and sequencing for folks (via the Max for Live device in the top post) :slight_smile:

Thanks dan!
I’ve been getting so lost in the world of CC2, I should really post some more stuff it’s just amazing. I can see this becoming one of my main sequencers. Would love to see cv/gate options for crow so I could sequence my mangrove.
Even the addition of Ansible outs could be nuts with 8 gates.

Good to know I wasn’t missing anything with pattern div/mults and super excited to hear you will be doing a re-write of patterns mode with additions of div/mults.

On a side note, is there anyway to add parameter mapping to crow inputs?
I’d love to map multiple parameters to a voltage coming in via crow input 2.
My imagination goes wild at the thought of playing pads in CC2 that spit out gates to trigger modulation sources that control parameters in CC2 :exploding_head:

I know this may all be a crazy idea but having crow inputs mappable to parameters on a global scale would open so many possibilities.

Anyway enough of the ramblings.

Thanks so much for all your work with CC2 and Norns :sparkles::pray::sparkles:

dang, this is a great idea. i’d been really conflicted about the geometry of crow input control, given the 2 inputs across 3 banks and maybe the clock. but a CV-addressable meta-controller would be so much fun. it’d be a bit of work, but it’d pay off with easy translation to MIDI + arc control.

i’ve been away from my modular for a few months, so this would be a fantastic excuse to get back in and patch :slight_smile:

brilliant. thank you for the bump! and please do share what you’re getting into with the script :rainbow:

an early cc2-sending-midi capture:

pads send MIDI out to a standalone instance of Arturia’s Jup-8 V + audio from the VST routed back into a looping live sampling segment. envelopes doing a lot of heavy lifting with fades, which added a lot of natural movement to the replay.

this was the first time i experimented with pads triggering notes also triggering snippets of the just-recorded audio – not the height of the potential of this approach, but enough of a proof of concept.

obligatory clicky drum clip underneath :slight_smile:

hope everyone’s having a nice weekend :rainbow:

Woo hoo! That’s so great to hear you are into the idea. I can just see this echo system blooming :sparkles:
As crow has only two inputs and I seem to always be using one as a clock input (as most may as well) I think your idea of a cv-addressable meta controller is perfect!

And I’ll make sure I post more CC2 explorations. They are seriously blowing my mind :boom::star_struck::boom:

Funny I didn’t have any cable like this lying around so I got one to play feedbacking CC2 into itself (DIY Norns). I have a stereo mult as well of course, no cueing otherwise. Has anyone tried to do it?

Tried the JF integration out for the first time this morning and HOLY MOLY @dan_derks that is some spicy code.

What an amazing experience!

daaaaaang, MATT! that was a really captivating session, thank you so so much for sharing it. changing the random pattern timing up was such a lovely performance tool to incorporate.

  • were each of the banks shft'd a lil bit? i love how the pitched layers gelled together.
  • did you MIDI map the random pattern generator to some of the MFT encoder presses?? that’s such a good idea, i totally didn’t think about how those keys could open things up :fire:
#283

Thanks! So so so fun and I’m looking forward to trying with, like, every synth I own. What an amazing, endless sonic meadow to frolic through.

I don’t think so, or at least not on purpose! I had RND>Pitch activated, which was so fun.

I did! Mapped to actually pressing the encoder down.

Oh snap, is that mappable? Cuz mapping pattern timing to the knob sweep and randomize pattern to the knob press would be a pretty powerful set of knobs.

Thanks again for this instrument Dan. I feel like I could spend all day exploring it.

probably v.stupid, but. upon first time use, I load the 3. samples, but don’t get sound, when I press buttons on the grid, I can see it moving around, but no output. Is there anything else I need to change or add after inserting the samples?
