No.

No.

In terminal, navigate to your Druid folder:

cd <path-to-druid-folder>

Replace path to <path-to-druid-folder> with the path where you put the Druid folder (for instance cd C:/users/sam/desktop/druid/ - this is what a path looks like on a PC).

Now that your terminal has “moved” to the correct folder, you can run python3 druid.py and it will successfully find the druid.py folder stored in the current location (your druid folder).

I save my scripts in a folder I made called scripts inside of my druid/ folder. To upload one of my scripts, I can then run:

u scripts/scriptname.lua

This command says “look for the scripts folder in my current location, then look inside of the scripts/ folder once you’ve found it for the file scriptname.lua and then upload it.”

Thank you so much for you help! That clarifies a lot about the process for me. I really appreciate it!

I’m still having problems with druid freezing sometimes, and with crow freezing and requiring a restart whenever I try to upload anything (it sounds like maybe the pitch is freezing and the envelope is looping but I’m not sure) with p showing no user patch, so I’m going to try setting up and rereading everything from scratch in the morning now that I know where I’m heading.

This name could be problematic on Windows because using a Python virtualenv for druid will generate a Scripts/ folder used for virtualenv to manage environment-patching scripts, and this would conflict with scripts/ on Windows since paths are case-insensitive. Maybe userscripts/ or lua/ should be used if this suggestion gets added to the Druid docs.

The ii.jf.retune commands appear to not be working as expected for me. If the intone knob is set to either extreme (cw or ccw) then the output for that channel appears to either lock on or stay off entirely. However resetting with ( 0, 0, 0 ) works as expected and returns everything to normal. I tried out some fairly mundane numerator/denominator settings just to be safe and tried both cycle/shape and transient/shape.

edit: It actually works as expected in sound mode, so nevermind? I thought I had used this kind of functionality with Just Type, but maybe I’m going crazy.

#26

this seems to happen to me too. the druid repl also hangs when i try to upload and i have to power cycle and run upload again

I’ve been noticing this on mac os as I’ve been writing the scripting tutorial. Which OS are you (@crim and @ringsandrocks) running? I’ll investigate after I get the tutorial done!

I’ve definitely noticed this. Mac OS 10.14.6

Thanks so much! I’m on MacOS 10.14.6

Just pulled in the latest druid changes on master (dbd3738) and having a lot more connectivity issues.

#31

Still not received my crow unit. Arriving today or tomorrow I think. Reading through docs but not actually started playing with anything yet.

Wondering is there some kind of crow runtime emulator or build target in Druid that will allow scripts to be run and debugged without a crow attached.

Likely I’ll be snatching 30 minutes here and there to develop scripts, it would be nice to be able to do this without having a crow attached.

@atomboyd Could you be more specific as to the kind of connectivity issues? What OS are you on?

@Oootini Nothing as yet, but if someone wants to build this I’d be stoked!

Ok thank you. In a line or two, could you describe how such an emulator might be developed? Could this be done in python?

#34

I think basically yeah. You could host a Lua environment inside Python using a library like lupa, and supply the various Crow globals (input, output, ii, …) with proxy versions that you can do something with (simulate input changes somehow that doesn’t involve the hardware, for instance. from Python? this is probably the tricky part). I think probably it could make sense for this to be available as another mode in Druid, but also probably need a command to switch the shell to a different evaluation environment and indicate that you’re running Lua on the computer rather than sending messages to Crow. And maybe a prompt to offer to use the emulated environment if you run Druid without a Crow attached.

I spent most of the weekend hacking around in Druid and have a bunch of ideas for different ways to extend it. There are several things I’ve gotten myself into that I’d like to rework, but my branch is available here if anyone’s interested (you will have to install the requirements.txt and use python run_druid.py to launch it - original druid.py I’ve left unchanged for reference and for easier merges). There’s a lot of stuff that could be done but I worry about making the simple use case more complicated, might wind up making more sense as a fork.

I’m trying to get into druid and having problems on Mac. I’ve got Python and the utilities installed, but when I try to access druid, it keeps saying there is no such directory----for reference, I’ve got it unzipped in my Applications folder. I’ve tried many different combinations, but still can’t manage to get into druid. I’m using a Mac 10.11.6

It seems like it should be cd Applications/druid-master/druid
but nothing seems to work.

It probably seems obvious, but no coding experience here!

I’m in the same boat experience wise, right now I’ve just got the Druid-master folder on my desktop, so I would open terminal and enter two commands:
cd desktop/druid-master
python3 druid.py
The second command loads the program into terminal.

This is a situation where making a mock crow is probably easier in a tool that already has a UI like Max. That way you could easily create a metro or have a knob to send into the inputs, and then also visualize the output states. Doing this in python kind of requires writing a bunch of UI bits which is well beyond my Python capabilities.

#38

Mac 2013 10.14.6 for me.

I’m still connecting fine on Norns, but not getting any feedback when inputting any commands beside ii.help()/ii.jf.help(), et al in Druid.

When throwing in ^^r it’ll keep cycling until I unplug and replug.

Admittedly, I was hiding from a sleeping baby so couldn’t really circle back to checking the behavior of outputs, most of my issues were trying to interface patch cable-less with JF.

#39

Thanks a ton! I got it to say that it can’t find crow----which is great because crow wasn’t plugged in.

Ah ok. I guess there are a number of different to approach this. Personally I’d probably be happy with some basic validation of the lua script that I could run against. I’ll investigate that. I have some basic python chops, this could be a neat project.

#41

Thanks. I’ll have a look at your fork when I get a chance :slight_smile:
