I just received a Disting EX. Can someone point me in the right direction to work on adding ii support on crow? What do I need to do beyond creating a Lua file like the following?

I’m working on adding Disting EX support on my fork here: https://github.com/CarlColglazier/crow/blob/distingex/lua/ii/disting.lua

I’ve tested that it can at least send messages that are received on the other end. I still need to work through and test the remaining commands.

This looks nice Unfortunately I had to sell mine because it was just too hard to update it. I may buy it again now that already has 2.0 load up on it.

Is it possible to create a Hz/V - V/Oct converter using Crow? It would be nice to connect my MS10…

#27

I’m not super familiar with the Korg Hz/V specs, but if it fits within the -10v to 10v range, I don’t see why not. Even it doesn’t, you can probably just put an attenuator + offset in front of it.

#28

The Keyboard CV Out reads 0-8V. Can I just try to scale the voltage or do I need to use more to correct the range. Reading about log amps and so on which are used in converters, going from linear to exponential, but perhaps I’m making this overcomplicated :slight_smile:

#29

Excellent. Linear to exponential sounds right. I’m not sure exactly how the math works out but it’s probably something involving log, division, and a constant offset. If I was doing this, I would probably check at least 3 voltages at octave distances (i.e. lowest C, the C one octave up, and the C two octaves up), and just crunch the numbers until those inputs output 1V apart on the other side. There’s probably not much code to it.

The druid REPL lets you grab input voltages and try out the math really easily. This will probably come in handy too:

Crossposted from i2c thread - can anyone help?

Still having issues with i2c chain

I have:
Ansible
Crow
Just Friends
W/
DistingEX
Sweet Sixteen

All connected to TxB so each device is attached to a separate group on the TxB

So from top down

connection
blank 3 pins
connection
blank 3 pins

etc

Ansible and W/ refuse to work but everything else seems to play together fine. This happened the same when I was piggybacking - thought the TxB would help so must be something else.

I clearly have the cables connected okay as Crow gives errors if that isn’t the case.

Any ideas?

Anyone here using a chromebook to host their druid environment? Or does anyone have one willing try it out? Still can’t get mine to work and it would be helpful to know I’m not the only person here having no luck with this OS w/ druid.

Hi All-

Would it be possible to alter the the outs–>clock m4L device to have an option to hold a gate high when the transport is running? Similar to the way Ableton’s CV Clock Out amxd device does?

Essentially I want to use crow to send a run gate to Pam’s from my computer. It’s early and I’m under caffeinated and likely overthinking this.

hell yeah it is! transport observing is handled via the m4l.api.observetransport abstraction that’s already rolled into Max (and is the most wonky part of this sort of patch). from there, we can just define that when the transport is running to send 8v out a specified crow output, otherwise send 0v. if you want to modify the voltage, you can just change the sauce in the device, or extend this by adding a user selection element :wink:

Bless you, Dan Derks. Will take a look and reach out if I get stuck (likely) or nail it (crazier things have happened?).

Oh wait, you did the damn thing!

#37

lol, yeah, but it ain’t cute. just a starting point. it’d be dope if someone made a legit device for the repo outta this…:wink:
