Made it! Catching up with these scripts and threads takes a whole evening but this is such an awesome piece of work! Ever considered arc implementation? Or would that be silly?

Definitely not silly – I’ve considered it but, so far, not much more than that, even though any spinning object-based script deserves Arc support.

Do you have specific things you’d like to be able to control via Arc? The most obvious choice would be to control one parameter (rotation rate, position, size) of four shapes simultaneously, but I’m curious if you have other ideas.

BTW, I’m finally moving on the params / MIDI mapping idea. Expect everything to be MIDI-mappable soon.

Cool - I’m just getting my head into it - multiple shapes was a game changer. In terms of arc, well…

What I like is to use the script like an instrument, where I manually collide the shapes and then out again. You can make wonderful structures and musical movements doing this but it involves switching to the shape via ENC 1, and combinations of ENC and K’s. I worry about those little knobs on the norns. With an arc you can become more gestural.

On an arc I’m guessing you could free up this kind of interaction and assign each dial to a shape and therefore extend this principle so it becomes much more performance based. I’m pretty sure that you could utilise the arc to control sides and speed. With four dials you can have four shapes. I can see it becoming a wonderful performance tool. If you could switch notes seamlessly that would be ace swell.

something akin to Strettas rhythm machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM0EBvJe1s0&t=194s

I have no idea how to code this in Lua, but it would certainly extend this already awesome script!

Loving this sooo much, just sat for an hour with a drone/beat which I kept altering through size and shape speed. Is there a way to save your patterns/shapes?
I’m desperate to save stuff somewhere as a preset. Is that possible?

Also can you tie up the controls with OSC control. I’d love to have a go at making an Touch OSC control for this, as its such a great performance instrument.
