Yes!
Not stupid at all, it’s a bit confusing at first.
You need to select which buffer each bank points to:
3 live buffers and 3 clips which are your samples.
(From memory) go to loops, when banks are highlighted turn encoder… something to change the target buffer of that bank. Hope it helps. Have fun!

thanks for the reply! I can’t seem to see where I change which buffer points to which bank. Is Is that in the cheat code params? When I click on loops on the program, it just has ABC, the knobs only move the selection zone and the length

hi hi :slight_smile:

oh ! if you’re seeing that screen, then you’re not using the new version of the script, which is cheat codes 2 — apologies, i moved this post from the cheat codes 1 thread and closed it, as the new version is now fully-featured and tested stable.

cheat codes 2 is a separate download in maiden. i left the old one in there in case folks still wanted to use it upon release and forgot to remove it :slight_smile:

the manual in the top post of this thread should walk you through everything you need to get sound going with cheat codes 2, but lmk if you run into any troubles!

HI GUYS!!!

Wow…so much going on!
You are brilliant.
I’ve been habilitating a site for lines friends, where you can find samples and download them with no cost.
Will be live strings , and sometimes I think I will add some live piano also. I don’t want to write so much about it as there is important stuff going on here! so please, be sure you check it from time to time (maby twice a week???) as I will be working on new material for us :smiley:
I thought my website was pretty dead and before I deleted it, It is usefull after all.
Enjoy!!!:

Hi @dan_derks
I was just thinking it would be nice to have sequenzes of pad presses recorded on the delay page. Say I wanted to build up a sequenze with heavy feedback and quickly kill it off, or record rate shift sequenzes etc. Would that be possible (as a feature in a future update :blue_heart:)?

Is there documentation for the midi mapping parameters for the nanokontrol2? CC2 recognizes my nanokontrol, and it’s my understanding that there are mappings for this controller. Is that correct, or do I need to manually map?

I’m afraid you need to manually map everything, but you can save the mapping!

just finished a quick sketch with cheat codes… recorded three solo opz tracks into the three live buffers, then had them sequenced by the opz. random panning and rate for all three banks, and a short attack/decay envelope.

@dan_derks these new midi features are seriously killer, i’m blown away! thank you so much for this script :pray:t2:

Hi Guys!
New string sample! This time is multitrack. I added some metal-against-wood sounds at the end of the track as I know it will be usefull for many of you to build some crazy stuff. The BPM = 70 (I recorded it with click).
Playground link!!!: https://www.alicianurhomusic.com/samples4lines

And as allways, if you use them I will be super glad if you tag me ^^ (thaaaaaanks)
Stay safe!

Hey there!

I would like to rotate my grid for better cable management while I play (I’m using a Neotrellis grid and it’s downwards). As this post suggests, it is a matter of adding one line to the script, however I’m not so code-savvy and I’m having troubles finding where do exactly that line could fit in the code… Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

(Thank you Dan :pray: for this great instrument)

thanks for the kind words! stoked for you to dig in :slight_smile:

it’d be good for me to add this to the grid parameters, but i think right after this line in the main script file, you should just be able to add g:rotation(2) for a 180 flip.

lmk if you run into any trouble!

update coming this week :sparkles:

This is a live jam using a reed pipe and 3 cc2 live buffers playing arp patterns, panning and pitching the reed pipe. Thanks @kingmetal for nudging me to share it.

@dan_derks this was my first session back with cc2 after leaving it alone for a few weeks, the gestures and control schemes are really well thought out. I surprised myself how well I could recall what does what without having to look back into the doc. I chalk that up to design the control and workflow.

this is wiiiiiild. holy moly, thank you for sharing it – really fantastic listen! i loved when the buffers caught some of the in-between pitch slides. :chef’skiss:

and thank you for the kind words re: interface + retention. i’m very glad to know that after learning the layout, it sticks in a pocket of memory. :revolving_hearts:

quick note about norns update 210114

if you updated and find you’re no longer able to record audio in to cheat codes, it’s likely because the input parameters for softcut were reset to -inf (there’s no other reason, but i can’t tell if this is a local or global snag)

navigate to PARAMS > SOFTCUT and adjust to taste. hold K3 while adjusting for fine-tune intervals :slight_smile:

I am not getting delays to work and I feel like I am just one button press away from getting it. I watched the great @DuellingAnts video on the subject and when the delay in the video starts, I am not getting delay. I have the L and R linked and both free, with feedback up to 75%, I have the input level on all pads up to 1.0, output level is up to 1.0, thru is false for all pads, I turned all the filters levels up, and main output level is 1.0. all the buttons on the Grids Delay page work as expected, all the levels go up and down if I adjust on the Norns (Fates) display, just no delay. I feel like I’m going to Marty McFly my Grados if I ever find that button.

That’s weird @fourhoarder…just shooting off a wild guess here but could this be related to @dan_derks’s post above and the recent update? I believe the delay is routed through softcut so it could be related?
