so my assembled Fates arrived in the mail today. Im lazy and horrible at soldering so i had a friend put it together for me. Where can i find resources for getting a case printed? I have access to a printer - just need files/plans for the case.

Search in this thread/topic for “3D print”

Best I got so far , but I can’t control anything

does anyone know why my “Select” menu would look like this all of a sudden?

Its the favorite function. Scroll with encoder 3 to favorite things. The things that are your favorites will be on the top of the list

oooh whoops. haven’t been keeping up like i should. thank you both

I’ve woken up this morning to a supercollider fail a and I have no idea why?

I updated some scripts yesterday via maiden…but it seemed to work ok…

So a little further testing and I can play op1 into fates fine, I can play back some recordings I made yesterday but nothing is showing in the meters at all…and obviously no scripts will load…weird

Tried all the normal things like resets ect - no dice

if you updated from maiden and did not restart, it’s possible one of those updates contains an engine or something that is causing the error.

Check maiden - use restart; from the REPL to see if you get any errors about duplicate engines, etc.

Otherwise - what scripts did you update?

What software version are you running?

completely unknown to me.

Thank you - I went into maiden and tried a restart and it says (under sc) library has not been compiled successfully

Latest version and I did a group update so I can’t remember :slight_smile:

Thought about that with a pi board. Buts it’s pretty tricky. So it’s best to stick with a hat unless it’s something you really want to invest a lot of hours into

There’s composite video out built into the pi on the 3.5mm jack. It’s a TRRS jack and instead of the 2nd ring being a mono mic in it’s a composite video out. I have no idea what you’d need to do in terms of overlays/if you’re trying to get Fates’ display on another screen but there is a composite out built in. You could try this but I don’t think the config.txt is still running the show on Fates/Norns.

for assistance, share the rest of that error message.

I would but that was all it said

  1. open maiden

  1. go to SC tab and enter ;restart (do not forget the semicolon)

  1. copy entire output

“library not compiled successfully” is the error message when sclang tries to evaluate something but there is an error in the classes.

it is verylikely there is a duplicate engine, but this could also mean a missing file from someone’s project or many ther things. so we need to see the full error message from sclang’s class compilation step, which is shown immediately after ;restart. (but will probably not be shown on initial connection of maiden, since sclang’s startup process has already ended in failure.)

I was just sending a screen shot

you are missing the intiial semicolon in ;restart.

therefore maiden is not recognizing the command and is passing the string “restart” as code input to sclang, which is in a failure state.

and thats much “better”

}

take it up with the author of grd. other user reports same error:

in the meantime, try uninstalling that script to continue using norns.
