Visionary idea! Acrually the first moment that I thought I could really need a crow, if this becomes reality.

Great idea!

Has me thinking it would be really great if crow could sync to W/ loop points & speed while recording/playing back.

I very much like W/'s caption mode (cv record/playback that happens parallel to audio recording) but miss having cv control over tape speed. If crow could poll w/ over ii for tape speed and cue point, and function like:
In 1: cv to record
In 2: ? Maybe trigger to reset W/ to last cue?
Out 1: recorded cv
Out 2: quantized cv
Out 3: synced lfo
Out 4: trigger on reset/cue point passing

I have no idea what info crow can poll from w/ so may be impossible or impractical with varispeed. Maybe just half/full/double speed and cue points to simplify?

icecaps: quad melting LFO

crow standalone

heat + conduction CV inputs
4 LFOs out

LFOs reflect off of each other and bounds, like billiard balls (ala a certain IFM module). energy is lost to neighbors and from the system; higher conduction = higher losses = slower LFOs on average.

Positive heat CV accelerates top LFO, negative heat CV accelerates bottom LFO.

TXi + crow - Quad Envelope Generator - Triggers to the TXi inputs, TXi knobs adjust the envelopes.

2x LFOā€™s, Smooth Random, Random S+H - Clock (in 1), LFO timing ratio ala Mimeophonā€™s Skew (in 2)

edit: @ngwese observes that it may be a challenge to poll TXi for trigger detection re: quad envelope use case.

crow inputs available for norns parameter mapping
ableton clock available for norns sync

oh thatā€™s interesting. great idea. i could see this in the new param system.

ableton and norns are both hostsā€¦ so only one of them gets crow?

crow-unrelated, we could make an OSC-based m4l device that would do ableton-norns sync probably pretty well.

Is work still happening on Abelton Link support for norns? (Which would accomplish this,wouldnā€™t it?)

I think that once mlr can receive a clock from modular or send a clock from Norns that I will then buy a crow. Right now Iā€™m just resisting because with all the Norns, teletype, and max/msp coding Iā€™m doing, Iā€™m asking myself if another coding thing would just distract me. But if crow could receive start stop, run, and a clock to sync my modular to mlr I would buckle in 1 second.

(Basically I want the crow haha)

a port of this might b a cool add-on for norns + crow sequencers

Itā€™s perpetually #2 on the project stack for me. Going to try to get to it after I finish the norns/crow app Iā€™m working on right now. Iā€™ve done some other Link development in the last couple months and hopefully that knowledge transfers.

Also, the norns app Iā€™m working on would benefit tremendously from Link support, so hopefully the odds are going up.

As an owner of an rs-35, which I love and is the best at doing what it does, Iā€™d love to see Norns replace that functionality in my rack.

now that I have I2C control of ansible via crow, Iā€™m curious if anyone has any good ideas for this combo?

Feel like I have some new power I want to take advantage ofā€¦

Well, you have 6 cv and 6 trigger outs now along with a trigger and cv inputā€¦ How about a 4 note tetrad chord generator from the ansible with a root octave above & below coming from the crow, generated from the crows cv input for chord root? A sample & hold chord generatorā€¦

That could be coolā€¦ Iā€™m working with a smaller system so not typically making 4-6 voice chords, but itā€™s definitely an interesting idea. A bunch of related LFOā€™s and/or envelopes could work too.

A 6 track version of awake with clock in and reset from ansible and global morph and randomise input on crow would be very cool!

Drop those lines into a sequential switch and make an arppegiator! And yeah related LFOā€™s could be fun, make yourself a SLOTH circuit or a mini Vector Space!

is the ā€œexpanderā€ functionality like this available with white whale?

#59

I have yet to write any crow scripts but Iā€™ve been thinking about it. Most of my ideas seem to want more than 2 inputs. Not so much for performance but more for configuration items - being able to change something fundamental about the scriptā€™s behavior without Druid/norns connected. I guess once the TXi over ii is fully functional that will be a lot more inputs. For crow only, have been thinking about some weird stuff like:

If input 1 > 4.75 volts or < -4.75 volts, switch into a config mode where input 2ā€™s voltage configures something

If input 1 receives 2 triggers within 15ms of one another, go to config

Anyone else been thinking along these lines or have other ideas?

Personally, I think it would be hard to understand the mode the module is in since it doesnā€™t have any LEDs for feedback. Something like this might be kind of interesting to control from Teletype on the fly though!
