Thanks @Olivier! Nope no midi control! I actually never even modified the step commands. I came up with that really cool generative sequence, and then came up with a nice passersby sound, and then just played with the passersby params during the recording. I kept driving up Drift until it maxed out towards the end of the piece. Audio into iPad AUM with Eventide Ultratap, which I was also heavily tweaking. Really really cool patch you’ve made there, so thanks!

your code is really lovely and easy to follow – excellent work Olivier, truly!

Thanks, Dan! As I worked on the script, less concepts was always a hugely helpful reference point. I don’t think I would have been able to implement multiple scales without it.

Huh… That is encouraging to hear! I’m so curious to dig in to this and I hope to have some time to give the studies a shot. Barely have the time to make some music!

Last time I installed the script, it crashed the norns forcing a total scrub/rebuilding of the dust folder. I will give it a shot again soon!

v1.1 is up! @justmat did an amazing thing and added MIDI out :bowing_man: ! Check it out:

In the video, Dunes is controlling a midi instrument in Ableton. Output from Ableton is fed back in Norns and manipulated by Dunes’ softcut commands.

The original [ and ] commands have been replaced by new direction commands: } (forward) and { (reverse). You can see them in action in the midi video demo :point_up:

can’t wait to spend time with this. I love that all commands are available to reference if you scroll through the pages!

I’ve got some stuff in place for this, but what is your method of getting midi from Norns to Ableton?

#21

Option one is here :

https://www.amazon.fr/SEVILLA-SOFT-MIDI-USB/dp/B00Y0DADS2

DIY option is here

The Sevilla Soft works fine

There are bigger, spendier options (iconnectivity is an option many on this forum use I believe) with several ports and midi hubs but if you just want a dongle this will do.

The midi demo sounds so good! I didn’t even think to feed back into norns for the softcut commands :star_struck:

I pulled out my old, dusty presonus interface and a midi din-usb cable :slight_smile: The Sevilla Soft mentioned above looks like a nice (and much less cumbersome) alternative.

I actually just got mine from @okyeron yesterday! Still haven’t had a chance to connect it up. Been hectic work week and it’s only Tuesday!

@kasselvania, I used a 2host while coding the midi stuff! :smiley: Worked perfectly!

God, can’t wait to hook it up and make some very odd noise… it’ll also be a good chance to try out Dunes again and see if I get the same errors (if so, I’ll post it). Probably won’t be able to do anything till Wednesday or Thursday.

Ok, I’m still new to all of this, so please forgive the possibly dumb question: I’ve got dunes sending midi to a Behringer model D, and the resulting audio coming back into Norns just fine (can hear through my headphones, connected to Norns). I have matched @Justmat’s sequence from the delightful midi tutorial video, but either I can’t tell what softcut is doing to the audio, or I’ve done something wrong. Or both? Probably both.

Edit: Here’s a recording of the sequence coming out of Model D back into Norns. https://soundcloud.com/mattlowerymusic/dunes-and-model-d/s-De7KK

Hey! Thanks for giving Dunes a spin :slight_smile: Re. softcut, Dunes starts up with the delay (i.e. softcut) level set to 0 by default. To turn it up, head to the params menu (you can also adjust feedback here as well).

Once you’ve turned the delay parameter up, head back into Dunes and put a couple of 2 and 4 commands in your sequence – these will multiply and divide softcut’s rate, which should be noticeable.

Let me know how it goes!

Just a note, to clarify; I wrote the midi code, but the video and everything else is all @Olivier :sweat_smile:
