some weird & wiggly moments caught between operator/portasound and cranes wobble bug

edit: bonus points for hitting play on all of them at once

Nice! Is this the @marcus_fischer x @taylor12k “Twine” preset? :laughing: Love it.

just an appreciation track–love the grid layout for cranes! it was like 1000 degrees in my non-airconditioned apartment yesterday but i was at least able to make the sound track to my pending death via heatstroke:

maybe old news, but one fringe feature (bug?) i noticed that i thought was really cool. if you change the speed of one of the loops while the buffer is cleared, it will still write into the buffer at normal speed, but as soon as you tap to close the loop it jumps back to how the write speed is set on the grid. from then on when you’re in overdubbing mode the behavior is ‘traditional’ (you can hear it at the start of this track, the first loop drops down to 50% immediately, but subsequent overdubs don’t muddy up the bass).

To sorta piggyback this reply, I also made a short sketch with cranes yesterday.

I’m obviously still a beginner at all this but cranes is easily one of my current favorite scripts, even though I don’t always know what’s going on.

fringe feature! so glad you found it. the initial recording will always be 1x forward, to allow for the exact behavior your wonderful video showcases (love those outdoor shots!!). overdubs will be at the selected rate.

@ecfike, thank you so much for sharing your sketch! I’m glad that the opacity isn’t discouraging – the only thing beginner about this is your mindset, which is perfect for exploration and landing on lovely artifacts like this :slight_smile:

impressed you made it that far! :wink: wanted to give anyone who got that many minutes into an arrhythmic mbira drone jam at least something to look at.

fringe feature

really interesting. didn’t actually realize that was possible with softcut. is it only possible because playback hasn’t started yet? or can you record into the buffer at a rate other than the rate of playback?

———
also, for anyone with an arc who hasn’t gotten a chance to dive into lua at all, here is my arc mapping for cranes:

no LEDs, but knobs 1 and 2 control the buffer volumes and knobs 3 and 4 control the buffer windows (same as the dim middle buttons on the grid)

No, read and write heads are locked into a fixed phase relationship for each voice.

(Of course you can use multiple voices on the same buffer region, running at different speeds, with different read/write modes.)

In this case it’s a cranes UI thing - loop speed isn’t applied until playback begins

Do we just copy that into the cranes Lua? Ta

really cool. dreaming of a softcut melotron if i ever get a chance to start another script

the gist is the entire cranes script plus my arc function, so i would make a new document in maiden and copy/paste it into there.
