Oh I think I misread the zilchmo combos. Sorry the touchosc spoiled me. You’re right. I did miss the Vimeo though, I was just searching your YouTube channel. Thanks so much, that’s what I was lookin for. You rule :ok_hand:t2:

Immediately after I typed that first response, I figured out pitching loops, based on your improv YouTube video, so you did do a good job of illustrating it, I didn’t mean to criticize

I have terrible memory, so I made this and taped it to my desk :slight_smile: Maybe it’ll be helpful for others.

ha! i did a similar thing.


#cheatsheet

i did get it after reading the manual. I was just being impatient. it is very well written. for some reason i didnt understand that the blocks of combos were per-line even though it clearly states that

(excuse my horizontal grid, i need to find space to flip it)

somebody could make a version of cheat codes that gives you hints and call it… well… ok that’s too obvious.

oooh, like a performance mode that offers up oblique strategies for cheating based on choices you’ve already made in the session?

eh, I use the meta sequencer for this, I save a few “scenes” on each bank, and then recall them manually as I move through a track - this allows me to have those gold nuggets handy, and recover gracefully from a screw up on the other side.

At some point I plan to actually learn the meta sequencer :slight_smile:

Love that neotrellis grid, are there any good build guides? I know Adafruit had the UNTZtriment but didn’t know if it could do variable LED. From the looks of yours, it can!

EDIT: found a walkthrough here after using better keywords :slight_smile:

Hey everyone!
Are there any updates on the op-z compatibility front? I’ve seen the post on instagram of CC working with op-z and I cannot wait until it’s released

hey hey!

i’m like, 95% done with what’s essentially going to be cheat codes 2.0 (i’m probably gonna drop the numbering system tho) – the op-z/midi control template was a rabbit hole that i’m really glad I went down! @glia has been huge in testing + validating the impulse :slight_smile:

i’m just cleaning up some of the other “ok, what else needs to come off the grid and into the UI?” questions and trying to psychically balance everything that’s going on all over all the time.

i’ll likely post up a beta in the < codebreaking >: cheat codes livestreams thread next week, if you want early access.

I bought a Norns and Arc and Grid primarily because 2 scripts seemed really cool to me, Cheat Codes being one of them. After struggling for a few hours last night with questions that seemed way too basic to ask here, I am happy to report that this is one of the coolest things I’ve discovered since Ableton v1. It does what I hoped it would do and a lot more. Thank you so much for creating this.

Well if it will have the pattern stuff in the UI I’d be totally happy :slight_smile: The rest is nicely covered by TouchOSC for me.

Well I do have some opinions on the clocking stuff, but I fear that has been discussed already. I’m really behind with reading up all the discussion that has been going on here, and I fear I’ll not get around doing it for a couple of weeks. So I’ll just see what will be in v2.0 and be thankful for whatever it will be like!

@Xylr, thank you so much for sharing those super warm words – i’m glad you got going with it (i’d also love to help improve docs, so feel free to share those early q’s!), please share what you make with it! :slight_smile:

like, recording patterns? pausing 'em? changing start/end points? :heavy_check_mark: also, pattern overdub!

i’d love to hear 'em! feel free to DM or post in the codebreaking thread (which is for all intents and purposes the development thread), whatever works!

fwiw, i’ve completely overhauled “distro” mode, so that you can just dial in a number of bars you want to record patterns for, play 'em in and then they’ll just loop on the clock without quantization. it’s really nice to keep all the feel of your performance without worrying about timing and honestly, all i ever wanted the pattern recording to be. the clocks system has been a game changer and i’ll likely revisit the other quantization modes as well…but really, having a loose recording that just resets on the beat is like, really fun :slight_smile:

If there is anything I can do to help (testing, or feedback on the particular features) with this now, or in the future I’m more than happy to do it, just let me know!
Unfortunately my coding skills are still next to zero.

I would love that!

Posted a video on Youtube of a little session I recorded for an online event last weekend using Cheat Codes, Anaphora loops (pre-recorded), Ableton, OP-1 and tape loops.

I love using Cheat Codes as a looper on all 3 channels and slowly fade in new material. The random pattern is also really cool to introduce into this

@dan_derks I don’t understand if I’m wrong but I can’t connect via OSC on iphone :frowning:
iphone and Norns / Fates are in same wi-fi network

Any help is appreciated

ah, terribly sorry but somehow a crucial element was missed in the TouchOSC section of the docs! your outgoing port must be 10111 – that’s the norns standard :slight_smile: you currently have it set to 8000, which is the TouchOSC default.

give that an edit and let me know how it goes?

Thanks:))) OSC now goes but after I load the buffer with the loops does not come out audio?
