Yeah, I’m using his updated one and turning them on.

#75

any shot you could DM me the device you’re using in m4l? just wanna check on something

#76

Did you set the mode on switch Just Friends to transient? That got me at first.

I see that crow cannot be an i2c follower formally at the moment, but I’m curious about the possibility of triggering crow from an ansible app’s triggers via ii.

I didn’t think that Ansible could be a leader? Have I missed something?

#79

The only problem is Ansible doesn’t have pullups wired, so you need something else to supply power to the I2C bus. Like Crow. I have experimental support for switchable leader mode on Ansible so you can play a follower with Kria / MP / ES directly. This works for TXo and ER301 (though “glide” may not do what you want on ER301) but not Just Friends, because I basically don’t know what I’m doing with Just Type ops. I should really fix that up (and clean up the post in that link to clear out the released features).

After reading through the i2c user’s guide and all the threads discussing cables, did I understand correctly that a cable such as this would be good for connecting Crow to JF?

#81

Yes, just pull a group of 3 wires off the ribbon.

last night was my second time using less_concepts > crow > jf via ii and it took a bit to get it to work. can’t remember what finally did it but it was some combo of power cycling norns/case and selecting a different script then coming back to less_concepts.

worked immediately the first time I tried it last week fwiw.

#83

Got a US link for something like this?

Also, I’m wondering if you can use JF normally after you connect it to Crow or TT via i2c?

sorry for the newb question, I’m just starting to climb the i2c learning curve, so many details spread out in different spots, still finding it hard to synthesize the info into something coherent…

Re: JF and i2c, yep! Normal functionality is retained. :smiley:

Looks like the development team is currently trying to get their arms around the various I2C messaging schemes implemented within the existing “TT & friends” ecosystem. If you’ve been involved in the previous development efforts for these modules, I’m sure your input would be valued! For the home user, here’s a status report:

I2C devices currently working:

  • Just Friends
  • w/
  • Meadowphysics
  • Ansible (partial), Kria

I2C devices yet to be incorporated:

  • TXi, TXo
  • 16n
  • ER-301
  • Earthsea, Orca, White Whale
  • Matrixarchate

I’ve been kind of perplexed with clocking crow. I’ve been using the sequencers on Norns, but with the 2 scripts(awake and less concepts) the only external clock info I see is from midi clock and no way to take a trig in from one of crows inputs as a sync source. I’m trying to sync this awesome new piece of gear into my whole rig and idk if I’m just missing something on how to do this.

There is info here on reading the input (part 2):

https://monome.org/docs/crow/norns/

It shows how to detect a change on the input – you could use this detected change to advance your metro or clock.

by design on my script – just didn’t think to add the param. will fold it in this week, thank you for the feedback!

I did exactly this with my midirecorder script and it works as expected.

Edit: to be precise, I have the detected changes calling a function that executes all of the time-step actions. No metro/clock in the loop.

If I plug a midi keyboard directly into Crow will it output cv / gates from its physical outputs or does it require a specific midi keyboard script to work? Just wondering whether Crow auto recognises midi devices and HID device like Norns or not at all.

What license is used for Lua scripts from the monome / mannequins team? What is best practice for sharing and repurposing code within the community?

#92

According to GitHub, the Norns code appears to be GPL-3.0. I didn’t take a look through the scripts or Crow, but you could.

@mlogger I think that Crow is a USB device, so plugging a MIDI controller into its USB port won’t work?

@mlogger – thought I read that one of the inputs would accept a midi trs connector, but it is not a host, so it won’t be USB? Probably needs a script as well.
