Thanks! Really glad you’re enjoying it.
Oh, yeah? My bad – will have to investigate this! The intention is for the command sequence to be reset only when you use K2 to exclude commands.
Maybe resetting steps containing restricted commands to default C would work better?

It works for me like 20% of the time

Sorry for the hassle. Got an update coming soon (likely this weekend) that will make all of these common gestures much more accessible!

3.1 release
requires the latest norns version (200424)
Clock
This update introduces support for the new and fantastic global clock system. As a result of this, a few (small) changes were made:
- the default
Ccommand was made redundant, and so it’s been deprecated.[is now the default, and simply runs at the base tempo. The other clocking commands still work the same. - speaking of base tempo, the
internal clock speedparam was also made redundant, as the clock system now lets you choose whatever tempo you want via params. Isn’t it great?!
Keys & Encoders
Key and encoder actions have been reworked in an attempt to make things easier and more accessible. I had originally conceived of creating separate modes that would each contain various actions, but that ultimately proved too cumbersome and slow during normal use. I opted instead to keep things simple.
See the updated manual for full details.
Command updates
- The
+and-rate commands work linearly (like they used to) instead of picking random forward/reverse rates. - I’ve decided to retire the short-lived
/command. It was half-baked, and I think it caused more confusion than fun The corresponding level slewparam was therefore taken out of the params list as well.
Let me know if anything seems wonky!

Awesome work - I love the new UX, and things feel way more playable for people without grids (me). Looking forward to making my first recordings with Compass soon!

THANK YOU for the update!
worked flawlessly for tonight’s broadcast of noiz…
- recorded a Folktek BUG into Compass
- recorded a Double Knot into @dan_derks Cheat_Codes
- extra percussion with @nattog VIALS
all three scripts running and synced simultaneously to a NAVA extra 9.

When I save a preset, it doesn’t save the functions I have active/disabled on the second page. Would that makes sense to add?

Totally, but perhaps beyond my ability at the moment — will definitely take note of it, though. Thanks!

really enjoying this script @Olivier, thanks! long time norns user but only try this recently… big mistake
one question though, does the presets work? I’m trying to save but when I load it nothing is saved…

Hey! Glad you’re enjoying the script. To your question, the pset file should save whatever you’ve set in the params menu (including things like midi mappings), but it won’t save command sequences – that hasn’t (yet) been developed. I may have misunderstood your question, though – let me know if I have.
you are correct @Olivier, I was referring to the command sequences, the params menu are saving ok. I did not explain myself is the best way 'cause I’m really excited to have found this script 
any future date about saving the command sequences down the road?

Not at the moment, but it’s on the to-do list. I’m short on skills in this area (PRs always welcome), but would be glad to explore.

Just a quick shout out to @Olivier! This script is ace! Love the way it works and how it can leads easily to new territory… Je suis fan! To second @sno, it would be nice to be able to save the commands… But definitely I would love to be able to save selections made on the command list… Just my two cents! Merci encore pour ce script fantastique!

De rien! Ça me rend heureux
I’m cooking up some plans to refactor Compass, and I’d love to prioritize a broader re-thinking of the whole command sequence structure as part of that process. In addition to saving command sequences, I’d also like to add the ability to create multiple sequences within a single session and hop between them on the fly. Got a little prototype working, but there’s still a lot to do and think through!
