Hey, new norns owner here. Playing around with dronecaster and loving it but wanted to check about the record feature. When I record I get an empty/silent aiff. But I can record the drones via tape no probs. Presume that’s not normal? Any obvious things I need to check?

The record feature records the audio inputs! The idea here is that you put the drone through a pile of pedals or other processing, patch the result back to Norns, and record that.

I’ve been heading back to this script after not using it for a long long time. Honestly, some of these new drones sound AMAZING. Thank you to everyone has contributed them!

@infinitedigits big shout out to you Zack for the Eno and Drumm drones which are 100% my favs. Like all of your scripts and these drones, I feel like you’ve done all the hard work and suddenly I can make beautiful sounding music without really having to do anything (am I cheating?, I’m not sure)

@infinitedigits I’m really enjoying Mika, and I’d like to take the opportunity to learn from it as a synthesist. Any chance you’d be willing to share a little bit about what’s going on under the hood from a philosophical standpoint? As a matter of approach, I mean.

Hey all, been like a year since I did some coding work on adding MIDI support to dronecaster. I was asked to improve it a bit more before it got integrated, but doing crazy house renovation took all my time and energy. I will attempt to get it all properly working again so it can be properly merged into the project

Edit: nearly done, waiting to see for Tyler or Ryan to check my commits.
