nope! it’s just an old initialization that doesn’t have any adverse effect on performance :slight_smile:

one day soon, cranes will be updated :bird:

Hello everyone, i’m just starting with the shield.

Does someone can help me on this ?

1/ Cranes : i don’t see any paramaters (voices) like you can see in the youtube demo. Also the K3 doen’t do anything (no speed effect)

2/ Cheat Code : i don’t have a grid and don’t know how to manage to record something

Is it the surprise of the shield, half of the options ?

Thanks for your answers !

Ben

hey ben!

hope all’s well – i moved your post here, as it felt most applicable.

re: K3 on cranes, the youtube demo was from a very early version. the functions are still there, but a little different.

from the top post:

tap KEY 3 to perform a speed bump on voice 1. hold KEY 3 to produce a more dramatic change. KEY 3’s influence is selectable in the params, under KEY3. ~~ is a small pitch deviation, 0.5 is half-speed, etc.

if you navigate to PARAMETERS, you’ll see a KEY3 option as the second-to-last entry. the options are:
~~: a pitch wiggle
0.5: slow down by half
-1: reverse
1.5: raise a fifth (this is the one shown in the youtube video)
2: double speed

re: parameters/voices, i’m not quite sure what you mean? happy to help with more info, tho!

re: cheat codes, there’s a massive update tomorrow which addresses your question. it’s not a shield thing, it’s a non-grid thing, but it’s corrected in cheat codes 2 :slight_smile:

(for what it’s worth, the software capabilities of shield and stock norns are identical for all scripts!)

Thank you so much for your quick response ! Indeed, to find those options i have to navigate to Parameters and then go in EDIT to select the “speed voice” or change the K3 function…

Cheat code tomorrow ! I will check it out !

Thanks again !

I’m getting an error loading up Cranes resulting on no sound from my input:
warning: didn't find SoftCut voice method: post_filter_fc_mod
Could this have happened after I installed Clouds for Pedalboard… hmmm…

#206

hmmm…those errors are benign, though strongly worded. after a reboot, could you please try deleting any PSETs for cranes / messing with the softcut settings?

#207

no sorry. same thing is happening in oooooo and cheat codes (2) aswell.

edit: i see now that this error message has been there for me before aswell. i can’t hear direct input sound though, through any of these scripts.

#208

hmmm. and both in and mon levels on the LEVELS page are up? are you seeing any animation for the input?

i just tested those softcut scripts and all is well on my side.

Can anyone help me please?

Cranes doesn’t record my audio - I’m not sure if the paper crane should animate as it records, but it doesn’t.

Other scrips (oooooo, reels, barcodes etc) all work fine and will sample from my incoming audio. Cranes seems to be the only one not doing so.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled
Reset
Deleted psets (there were none)
Updated norns

Anything else I should be trying? I’m really keen to use Cranes!

#211

hi! it’s likely because the input parameters for softcut were reset to -inf with the latest norns update (cranes doesn’t set these levels directly)

navigate to PARAMETERS > SOFTCUT and adjust to taste. hold K3 while adjusting for fine-tune intervals :slight_smile:

Thanks Dan - will check this!

edit: inexplicibly, after trying Wrms for an hour or so, I went to try Cranes again and it worked without changing any settings.

Thanks for your quick suggestion @dan_derks
