hi @danbond , hope all’s well! :slight_smile:

just to confirm, you have grayscale selected under PARAMETERS > GRID/ARC > grid LED style? i ask because the two modifications you mentioned should be how the grid displays with this setting – we somehow don’t have a monobright in the workshop, though, so i’m unable to test at the moment. if you do have this setting turned on, just lmk and i’ll dig around! :hammer_and_pick:

:hushed:

My good ness it works perfectly.

Thank you!

Hey folks! Long-time lurker first time poster here. Blown away by this script, @dani_derks vision and ingenuity, and the collective effort that’s gone into improving it. Big props! So I just received an MFT and noticed some strange behavior from the get: cheat codes responds to the intended mappings, but the encoders only increase values, no matter which direction they’re turned! This means filters sweep into nothingness, resonance builds into self-oscillation, etc. I’ve followed the setup demonstration covered in the fantastic music hackspace tutorial, updated CC2 to the most recent rev, and fiddled endlessly with various MIDI settings, all with no luck. The encoder behavior must be a pretty strong lead, if I had to guess. Thoughts?

thanks for the kind words @_colinedward :slight_smile: stoked you’re digging in and enjoying it!!

just to confirm, you installed the cc2 template on the MFT (see the top post)? nobody else has reported similar behavior, so i’m assuming it’s a config thing, but lmk!

And there you have it! I’ve been solely digesting the main docs and tutorials and completely ignored the OG post. Goes to show my first post would result in the most precious of hand holding. :man_facepalming: Thanks, Dan! :pray: :sparkles:

no worries! there’s a ton of info in this thread that i’m excited to revisit communicating with cheat codes yellow :slight_smile:

thanks so much for dropping by, i’m glad you did!!

Based in the minimalist music from the 60s and 70s from Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Philip Glass and others,
I used a Zoom H1n handy recorder to record three simple 15secs piano loops and used euclidean rhythms to play all the samples. It’s very fun to make rhythmic variations altering the parameters of the euclidean rhythms. Maybe in the future is possible to add somekind of euclidian page in the Grid for live manipulation of its parameters?
On top of that I used the Deluge to play some synth sounds and a bass.
For this video I recorded 9 different timelapses from the place I live, San Pedro Alcántara (Spain)
Again, thanks to Dan for this beautiful and fun to play script!!

Hi folks, just a little squiggle of confusion here… I have digested the wonderful and very watchable “cheatcodes codebreaking” video on youtube three times through now… And i seem to have one gesture i wish to use which wont work for me… In the video, it is explained that after a sample is live recorded to a buffer, that can then be mapped out to use all the 16 buttons by holding alt and the bottom left unlit key of each section… I have been trying this with my (latest) version of cc but it doenst seem to work for me… I wondered if this was now moved elsewhere or similar… I cant find confirmation in the pdf?

Sorry if im Missing something obvious… I am still really digging into all the many options (ive actually decided to remove all scripts apart from cheatcodes, mlr, barcodes and compass for now, to really force myself to go deep rather than broad in my appreciation of these masterful apps.

Thanks and sorry for the noob questions

hold alt and press second from left on zilchmo row 4 to auto chop bank to live buffer window. You can resize the window on the L page and when you auto chop that window will fill your 16 pads. That stumped me for a wee bit too!

Aaaah, there we go :slight_smile:
SO I was right in that the way I saw in the video is now a defunct command?? phew, I thought I had messed something up.

Right, just need to get home and try this out the way that it is now done :slight_smile:
thanks for replying

It’s a pleasure to help! Yes, some things have changed since the courses, particularly around timing and pattern recording. This thread and our community are really part of the manual. Speaking of, you’ve seen the manual yes? It’s up top of this thread under main docs. It’s really great although you will still have to check in here to make sense of some changes. It actually does include that zilchmo chop gesture but I similarly had to ask here after seeing the og command.

Sounds like i am treading a well worn path… Yes i got the manual before i got the grid… But its a hard read without the actual grid in front of me… I then moved to the video and had many good show and tell moments following along when my grid arrived… But it is only after another go at the manual that i decided i needed to clarify what was what.

I think i have turned another small corner now… Its all coming together.

hmm i’m having a some trouble with jf i2c… it’s worked in the past but can’t get it going at all now for some reason. other scripts are working, cc2 is not. i’ve tried cycling all jf and crow related settings, and have power cycled my modular and restarted norns, still no luck. norns and cc2 are both on the newest update. i do get pulse outputs (just clicking, no note data) when i first turn on the modular, but if i try to toggle jf synth mode it stops and doesn’t come back until i power off then on again. any other ideas i can try?

1217

hi!
just to double check - when you boot cc2, are you heading over to the pad to note settings and toggling jf on right away? also, it might be worth it to take a look under the hood and see if any i2c connections are teetering on falling out of place!
another trick i’ve found (more predominantly with w/) is switching them on/off sort of reorients it to work! let me know, and i’ll be happy to do some more deep investigation if you need! :slight_smile:

Oh, I absolutely love this piece! Inspires me to dig into CC more for minimalism. Bravo!

Thanks!. I recognize I didn’t think about minimalism when I first learnt about Cheat Codes. But I think it is a very good script for making this kind of music. I specially think the use of euclidean rhythms is very very fun to use, and maybe a feature could be added to the script to be able to play with these rhythms using the Grid.

Hey,
Is there a command, or a Grid combo, to quickly reset all zilchmos within a buffer to default values?

I think if you press all four pads simultaneously on zilchmo row 4, it serves as a reset to default values…

I am still learning and recalling this from the music hackspace series on CC2 (part II)…

Yes, i usually do something like that, but would be amazing to have a Grid combo to reset values to default, or maybe in the edit menu would be fine as well.

@mmryspace pressing zilchmo row four all together raise the pitch by a fifth, for what I recall.
