@Mad86, thank you so much for your kind words!

Right now Iā€™m finishing up one of the enhancements requested by @mlogger to save Plow (envelope) parameters. I expect Iā€™ll be able to add your request to this batch of changes when it gets released (hopefully in the next few days). Iā€™ll make an announcement when it is ready.

Oh wow perfect :ok_hand: so cool.
Thank you a lot for taking it into consideration. :raised_hands:

yeah, great idea to have some sort of meta-sequencer this way - that would be a killer feature! i wonder, if this could be done somehow with @infinitedigits tmi script?

@mlogger and @moono, Iā€™ll see if I can put some kind of basic pset sequencer together for the upcoming update. Itā€™ll be just for Flora, but I have a vague feeling it may be portable to other apps. Weā€™ll see how it goesā€¦

The Flora v0.2.1-beta is now available and includes the following new features:

PSET sequencer (thanks to @mlogger for the idea)

  • The sequencerā€™s controls are themselves defined with PSETs, so PSET sequencing can be triggered via midi (as suggested by @vehka in the norns ideas topic).
  • The PSET sequencer also features user definable ā€˜exclusion sets.ā€™ Parameters that are part of an enabled exclusion set will be excluded when a PSET is saved. Accordingly, parameters in an enabled exclusion set wonā€™t be overwritten when the sequencer loads a PSET. Please note that for this feature to work, exclusion sets need to be enabled (in the PARAMETERS menu) before saving the PSETS. Enabling a PSET exclusion set while the PSET sequencer is playing will have no immediate effect.

Envelope modulation

  • New probability controls allow the time, level, and curve values for each envelope node to be modulated. The controls may be accessed by pressing k1+k3 on the plow screen as well as from the PARAMETERS menu.

Other new features

  • The active plant instructions and plant angles may now be saved in PSETS.
  • Midi is now included in the 4th OUTPUT option (requested by @Mad86).

Additional documentation of the new features may be found on GitHub (see link above)

The attached video demonstrates many of these new capabilities. It was recorded with an exclusion set enabled for the envelope modulation parameters.

Awesome :clap: thank you for all these new implementations.
Thatā€™s really really nice.
I know what I will explore today :wink:
I have to say very smart job ! :rose::cherry_blossom::hibiscus:

Wooah - amazing - thankyou so much! I didnā€™t think this could be done :slight_smile:

My pleasure @mlogger! The basic code to setup a sequencer and load PSETS was actually pretty straightforward. Also, although Iā€™ve just done very basic testing, it appears the PSET sequencer code is portable to other scripts. I put instructions for using the PSET sequencer with other scripts in the pset_sequencer.lua file.

Wow, really nice. :heart: Canā€™t wait to give this a spin over the weekend! Also, the PSET sequencer sounds awesome. Do you reckon it would be a lot of work to make it a lib for including in other scripts too?

Thanks @vehka. I hope you have fun with it!

Since I havenā€™t done much testing with other scripts, Iā€™m not sure how much work it would be to make the PSET sequencer code into a lib.

That said, as I mentioned previously, I did get the basic sequencer functionality to work in a few other scripts (with just three simple lines of code) and the steps are documented in the pset_sequencer.lua file for anyone who wants to try it in other scripts for themselves on their local norns devices.

#78

i gave it a quick test drive and so far i can say: this is simply awesome - the preset sequencing feature and all the other improvements made this already amazing script even more amazing! thank you @jaseknighter for implementing this killer feature which will hopefully find its way into many other scripts around here ā€¦

I donā€™t know what Iā€™m doing but Flora is one of my gotos for generative background house music (literally house music) when Iā€™m at home.

Since the idea of sharing PSETs was discussed at some point, and the new features of Flora engage with PSETs Iā€™m including it.

hey ya!
i may have found a bug. :bug:
was going for a spin with the v0.2.1 and the MIDI clock looks to be off.

i have my tempo set at 115bpm and Flora is jumping between 118 and 119 on the screen.
any tempo i set the MIDI clock tooā€¦Flora is displaying 3 to 4 beats faster.

it didnā€™t do that before.

Hey, how can I update the script to 0.2.1 ?
I tried updating through maiden, but when loading the script I still see v.0.1.0.
Iā€™m new to norns, so sorry if the question seems silly.

#83

@Denbuter, there are no silly questions here, only silly mistakes I have made. I forgot to update the version number in the flora.lua file. I think I fixed this, so if you update again, you should see 0.2.1 when the script loads. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and please donā€™t hesitate to reach out if this still seems to be an issue or if you encounter other ones!

helloooo @SPIKE! is this happening with the pset sequencer running? if so, it may be that you saved your psets with different tempos which are getting loaded as the sequencer is running.

if this is happening even when the pset sequencer is not running, then iā€™m not sure whatā€™s happening and iā€™ll probably have more questions for ya!

i hadnā€™t set up any psets yet.
i donā€™t have any psets saved even.

wellā€¦i think norns picks up on MIDI clock tempo from the Cirklon whether its running or not.
(iā€™ll have to double check that)

Ok. You might also want to look at your clock ā€˜sourceā€™ setting under PARAMETERS->CLOCK

If you do want me to investigate after you check on the Cirklon just let me know.

okā€¦
i just checked on it.
as usualā€¦i almost always have all of my norns set to MIDI for their clock.

i just did a test and itā€™s behaving now! :crazy_face:
soā€¦just an FYIā€¦
norns does see whatever i set the BPM on the Cirklon to at all times.
whether its stopped or playing.

i just tested while it was stopped and Flora responded to all of the tempo changes.
then i started the Cirklon and Flora responded to any BPM changes i made and locked right to it!
:partying_face:

updateā€¦
so i ran into something else weird.
when trying to save a PSET while MIDI clock was coming inā€¦it would not save.

so i stopped the clock.
tried to save a PSET and it wouldnā€™t save.
howeverā€¦i left the PSET page and went back and then BING the name was there!
i saved 4 PSETS with different names and this happened every time.

alsoā€¦
i guess i am not sure how the PSET thing should work.
i tried to select a PSET number with the ā€œload psetā€ parameter and it wouldnā€™t change from the number 1.

soā€¦i quit out of Flora and went back in.
now itā€™s allowing me to choose more than one PSET under the ā€œload psetsā€ parameter.

i went back into the plant screenā€¦are the plants supposed to revert to their original state?
i was thinking their status was saved with the PSET.
it is loading the different plants that i savedā€¦but they are in their initial state.

should i be seeing the plants change with each PSET change?
orā€¦am i not quite getting the application of the PSET sequencing?
:slight_smile:
thank you for help!
