Thanks! This worked for me by setting it to 9000 on the Norns to match the default IN for Touch OSC on the Android tablet - amazing stuff; now all I have to do I learn how to use CC (the manual is very helpful in this now that I’ve got the tablet working with acceptable latency). Good stuff @dan_derks!

Hello!

@dan_derks - You’ve been busy man! I leave for a few months and there’s multiple new beta versions since I’ve been gone. LOL. Nice work man!

Is there a way for the pads to represent CV/Midi Note Data? I know there’s only 16 pads per bank, but even having an octave of CV/Midi notes could be sweet for controlling soft synths.

Just dove back in with Cheat Codes, it looks like theres some CC compatibility between the OP and Cheat? Is a computer able to see that Pad to CC data via a Midi to USB hub? I could use something like Bome Midi Translator to convert CC to Note data…

Thanks in advance!

Hi. Sorry if this is a noob question or it has been answered.

I am new to Norns and just got Norns Shield (no grid). I am really curious about Cheat Codes but I am not able to get it going propperly I guess.

When I set buffer to record and play some audio in I am not able to get loops to start looping and play the recorded material. The only way I can hear sound is when I am manualy setting offset and therefore the “playhead” starts moving.

Is there a way to trigger it to play somehow? I am sorry I guess I must be missing something obvious. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks in advance.

hey jan! welcome! :slight_smile:

you’re not missing anything – there’s a new version of cheat codes coming out this month that addresses gridless play in a lot of nice ways, like how to get a pad looping without a grid.

for cheat codes 1, you either need a grid or you can use the TouchOSC template, which gives you a lot of the grid controls on a phone or tablet: https://llllllll.co/uploads/short-url/kUtUb6ls36qqDaRVzSuDnkY31Mg.zip. that’ll be the best solution until cheat codes 2 :sparkles:

Hello Dan. Thanks a lot for your fast reply! It will save me couple of hours :slight_smile: I will go with the TouchOSC.

Looking forward to the new version. Thanks for awesome job.

from https://llllllll.co/t/norns-clock/30738/94:

@Wocco, happy to add this into cc2, if we can get a consensus on what would be ideal usage :slight_smile:

currently, I consider recorded patterns to be the only “these need to all start playing on a 1” feature. this is where the meta-sequencer and the pat launch quant PARAM each come into play currently, but i could def get behind making this more transparent.

some thoughts:

  • i could add a grid button that acts as a “reset on the next 1” function
  • when clocked internally or via Link, this could queue up a reset of any playing pattern on the start of the next bar
  • when MIDI clocking is involved, i guess this could send a reset to the MIDI clock (if norns is the leader) or it could reset any playing pattern if a MIDI start message is received (if norns is the follower)?
  • maybe the meta sequencer could have its own reset button which just brings all the playheads to “1” at the next bar / MIDI start message?

lemme know what situations you’re facing and what would work best for you!

#298

Amazing!

You are right, playing and looping patterns is the primary use case for trigger and reset and this would fulfill my desire.

Currently I am using crow to sync CC through Norns as a follower in a network of other midi instruments for live performance. I am in need of tight start/loop so it behaves in a live mix.

Would be nice if the playhead of the recorder and buffer were synced with the reset.

And a wait for next reset to trigger a pattern could be useful in this context as well.

Could be integrated as new rec mode called quant+clip that triggers and syncs cc patterns like a clip in ableton.

im very eager to print out the cc2 manual and start diving into it. im going to make it a personal goal to learn that thing inside out

I don’t know why but I start playing CC only yesterday: one of the most inspiring sample/looping experience that I’ve ever had!
I had the chance to purchase a second hand Arc, and I might say that it is so so so helpful to complete the interface.

Thank you for putting your ideas in this “playable canvas”!

Hello with a noob question again. But just for a peace of mind. Do I understand it correctly that it is not possible to record patterns with Touch OSC? Do I need grid for that?

P.S. Love this script. Dreams are coming true. Thanks everyone.

correct – pattern playback ends up introducing too many packets, which slows down the TouchOSC UI feedback a ton. cheat codes 2 will have full MIDI control, though, with pattern recording :slight_smile:

thanks so much for the kind words, hope you keep exploring!! :sparkles:

Thank you! Full MIDI control sounds great! :pray: :pray: :pray: will have to justify buying Grid next time :slight_smile:

#306

Just a little practice with CC but a ton of fun!
I’ve recorded a Banjo and a Tibetan bowl in the first two buffers and then I’ve play around with them.
The chance to record every gesture is really appreciable🙂

Hello lovely people, (cc: @dan_derks). I have another problem. I thought this was perhaps connected with getting the TouchOSC to work. Alas not!

I’m not getting any output via Cheat Codes. I have output on tape and compass and other scripts. Also in the alt menu (K1 long press on loops) I have set prerecorded clips in all 3 banks and set L1, L2 and L3 to recording. When I set the clips I can hear a sample of them but they don’t play back in order for me to manipulate them.

Does anyone have any other ideas I can try? I already deleted and reinstalled CC on Maiden to see if that would help. Thanks a lot.

hi sophie!

just to confirm, to set up clips for all pads in a bank on cheat codes 1.3.1:

  • visit PARMS > loops + buffers and load a sample into clip 1 sample
  • on the loops page, hold K1 and turn E1 till you get to the 16th pad
    • since pads can have unique clips, you’re likely just setting the first pad’s audio
    • pad 16 sets the value for all the pads in the bank, so by changing the buffer to Clip: 1 on pad 16, you’re setting it for all pads in bank A
  • this’ll be the same if you want the pads to use one of the Live buffers – just set pad 16 to the desired buffer :slight_smile:

hopefully that solve things, but lmk! fwiw, this is all way easier in the upcoming cheat codes 2 (out next week)

Hi Dan,

Thanks for getting back so quickly!

I had read your response to someone else with this issue and tried this. No avail!

I have loaded a clip: Parameters > Edit > loops + buffers > clip 1

Changed to 16th pad and allocated clip 1. We now get the message (pad 16 overwrites bank!)

Set all Ls recording.

Still no output.

Any other ideas…?

I knew Cheat Codes 2 was on the way but didn’t realise it was so close! I was going to spend some big time with the manual over the coming days but seeing as number 2 is out soon I think I’ll wait for that one.

Cheers for being great.

#310

hmm. when you play the pads on the TouchOSC interface, are they actually changing the pad displayed on the loops page?

cheers to you for being great!!

#311

No idea what happened but it’s working now! Put norns to sleep whilst I ate, came back and we’re all systems go. Got some really interesting patterns flying in minutes! Really looking forward to what Cheat Codes 2 brings. Thanks again :pray:
