Circles

jakecarter · November 3, 2019, 6:24pm

One more quick update. Circles now supports the system saving/loading of params. See the PARAMETERS section of https://monome.org/docs/norns/ for more information.

With the release of crow 1.0.3 and Norns 200121 the crow + jf messaging bug seems to be fixed so I’m releasing circles 1.4 with crow + jf support! Enjoy!

This video is great! Is all the JF data being sent from the norns alone? I guess the grid is using Kria on the ansible?

jakecarter · January 23, 2020, 5:52am

Thanks! Kria is ONLY being used as a clock divider. All sounds are JF going through Three Sisters and then into Mimeophon. Norns is talking to crow via USB and crow is talking to JF via the I2C cable. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Is midi support still planned?

Along with that (or even without) it would be handy to be able to adjust the range of notes on screen. Maybe an octave control in the params?

Very fun script, thank you!

I looked into MIDI a while back, I should look into that again. I’m kind of adding things as I want them and I don’t have a lot of use for MIDI, but I’ll explore it again. Scale selection is definitely something I want. I don’t have a ton of time to spend on this now, but I’ll look into both.

a second for MIDI please!

don’t own crow and don’t have room in the modular rig for it.
all filled up.

Hoping this makes some of you happy. Still more work to do. You can follow along if you feel comfortable with git. Just check out the midi_support branch.

AWESOME!!!
looking forward to the next release!

jakecarter · February 3, 2020, 1:01am

Hot off the repo! v1.5 now with 100% more MIDI. Also, you can choose the scale root note and mode in the params. Enjoy!

hi, thanks for the script. i dont get the external clock running (op-z) midi trigger works great.

jakecarter · September 1, 2020, 5:08am

Hey. Not sure I understand. Are you saying you’re trying to clock Circles via an external clock and it’s not working? Any specifics about what your trying, what you expect to happen and what actually happened are helpful for diagnosing bugs. More details the better.

kr3ativsein · September 1, 2020, 6:04am

@jakecarter iam sorry. i ll try

actualy the script works like it should.
i can trigger notes from circles and op-z recieve.
if i switch circles to external clock - the circles animation stops.
on op-z midi clock out and midi clock in is activated.

sorry for bad communication

edit: if i change the bpm on opz, norns also adjust them

jakecarter · September 1, 2020, 2:55pm

Ah! Ok thanks. I’ll look into it when I have some free time. Maybe this weekend.

Can’t open the script on the latest norns version, I get the Error: Init message

zebra · March 21, 2022, 8:24pm

no problems for me on latest. (CM3 factory norns, clean install)

so we would probably need to see your actual error message from the REPL to offer further insights.

jakecarter · March 22, 2022, 1:50am

Oh wow. I’m surprised people are still using my script. I’m sorry you’re having issues. I haven’t had time to update my Norns, but it sounds like @zebra has gotten it working. If you’re still having issues, please post the full error message from the REPL and I’ll see what I can do. I’m extremely busy these days with work and a move, but I’ll try to fix it as soon as I can.

St0rMl0rD · March 22, 2022, 8:29pm

Of course, it’s a fantastic script! I get this:

WARNING: Could not open directory: '/home/we/norns/sc/ugens'
	To resolve this, either create the directory or remove it from your compilation paths.

zebra · March 22, 2022, 8:46pm

that’s not actually an error, and shouldnt pose a problem. (though it is sort of weird… i posted about this warning on the forum very recently… was that you also? basically, i would only expect to see this after some unusual reconfiguration, not after a clean install of the most recent image.)

the relevant error preventing the script from launching will be under the matron REPL tab.

St0rMl0rD · March 22, 2022, 8:58pm

I did a fresh installation with the newest norns version just about a week ago.
