Norns shield… Using a 5V 2A power supply… but my grid (neotrellis) is using perhaps a bit of power… I’ve planed to try the swapping thing tonight… but i really need to have an up to date SD card first. Thanks for your advices!!

#287

for sure – we recommend the pi universal power supply which gives 2.5A and might do the trick :slight_smile:

is there a cheat codes 2.0 thread that I’ve missed somewhere? or is it still in beta?

#290

Still in beta. That thread is currently where the juice is

#291

it’s been flying under the radar a bit :slight_smile: — lots has changed / is still in progress and not much of it is documented (the new delay system twitch video is gone and the other preview video is out of date), so i’d consider it a semi-closed beta if you weren’t able to test over the last month and a half.

documentation is the final hurdle — @tyleretters has helped get me going with a github pages repo for it all, but it’s actually been really challenging to try and find the right and dynamic way to present things. it’s a totally different script than cheat codes 1, so it’s a bit of a reintroduction opportunity :slight_smile:

i’d like for it to be released in a month :sparkles: thank you for the energy toward it!!

(that said, if you are curious and don’t mind not knowing what some stuff does, please feel free to dive in — tons of stability improvements to be reaped just using the cc1 feature set inside the cc2 architecture)

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.
One of my fav scripts🖤

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:
