Hey man! Good to see you here.
First thing, I don’t think you can import a clip into compass; you’ve got to record audio into the buffer through the two 1/4 inch audio inputs on Norns. So, my first move is generally to jam an entire 60s loop into the buffer. K3 toggles record on and off.
Assuming you haven’t changed any characters in the command line yet, you should hear you audio playback once the buffer resets. I usually toggle record off at this point.
Now, you can start altering command line variables. Madness ensues.
Make sense?
