I just tested with the latest update of Norns… “Dual twisting” works fine with Arc - and Ansible too. I suspect there might be i2c issues with your setup?

I’ve updated the script with midi-output: all 4 tracks can be assigned (different) midi channels and velocity in parameters.

Small scratchy demo here:

(get latest version in top post)
I’ve tested with latest Norns and crow v.2. - so, I’m slowly getting ready to try to add more i2 devices…

I’m looking for beta-testers for an update for TxO’s - send me a pm if interested!

Ahhhh amazing. Thanks for the update!

OK, now that I’ve installed it and played with it I have to say: what a phenomenal job you did! I’m super impressed and I hope you keep adding more. I tested out the midi with my hydrasynth and it worked flawlessly. I was so excited I even made an audioless IG post just to show it works!

A few things I noticed and some requests (if you don’t mind!):
-You can’t sustain notes (ie. press button 1 and then 2 or 3 or 4 to chain them as a single held note). Right now everything is only a single step. Can this be added? I’d say it’s a critical addition.
-Can you add velocity randomization amount that gets applied to the sequence to make it more lifelike?
-I personally would rather have transpose as the main arc function, can you add an option to change between this and play method?
-Really needs more subdivisions. I was running everything at 1/2 or 1/1 and wished it would go lower. Anything faster than 1/2 (for me) isn’t useful, but there are tons of high subdivisions.
-Add a 2nd page w follow on/off to create longer sequences?

Don’t take these as negative criticisms. As I said, I’m super impressed and absolutely can’t wait to see more! Once it gets put into maiden I’ll have a look at the code and tinker, but I’m very green with respect to that.

EDIT: After more playing around, I find that sometimes a track won’t play no matter what. The bar shows up but it won’t budge. It takes a reload of the script to make it work. Happened on track 3 and 4.
Additional request: use different lines, or put track # above line, or use bright to light line to denote differences between tracks 1-4.

Man, this script is beautiful!

is there a way to map play mode for each track to midi (forward, rev, etc)? i’m using a nanokontrol2 instead of an arc and everything else works fine. would like to be able to trigger playback with either the grid or midi though if possible

thanks for creating this. love it

Now i can see a 2nd seq just for transposition w probability! That would make highly evolving and more complex patterns. Oh man I need to get my Lua chops up to speed.

Yes - transpose works well with a cc controller.

I meant a new seq lane(s), but that’s good to know too!

Thanks for your suggestions and ideas - I’ll take a look at them all. First, I’ve seen a couple of crashes like the one mentioned, where a couple of tracks simply stops playing. I’m going to squash that one bug first :slight_smile:
I think most of the suggestions should be possible to add - but regarding adding different note-lengths (and maybe a longer and/or 2-page sequence), I think that might be a big change. I could easily add options for, for instance, random velocity and random length to midi-notes, though, if that would be useful?

I think those additions would be useful! The addition of a transpose seq would likely negate the need of a longer pattern, but I’m sad to hear about the note length. I haven’t peeked at the code but I’m guessing it’s something to do with the back and forth trigs that make it difficult? Sadly, that’s my #1 missing feature.

With regards to the bug - I also can’t figure out what makes it happen. It doesn’t happen often, but maybe 30% of the time.

Regardless, when you update I’ll pounce on it and report back!

Here’s some of the script in action. I love it so much!
EDIT: For the life of me I can’t figure out how to embed IG posts like everyone else. :S

beautiful work. thank you. happy to have MIDI out. here, controlling my Juno 60. Not really a great sequence, but I was super excited just to get it running

Wow! I just have to say this sequencer is one of the best I’ve tried. So fun and inspiring! I haven’t even tried all the options yet but its already so good. Cant wait for JF is added! Thank you for creating it :hugs:

Here’s Fugarc playing the op-1 with a piano sample. All being processed by my modular. I love this sequencer!!!

p.s Any progress on JF?

Nice! I have no JF myself - so would you be interested in betatesting?

Midi out not working for me. (Sevilla soft midi out) Norns>Fates

Right. I haven’t tested with Fates - only midi over USB directly from Norns. Does midi out work in other scripts for you? (You’ve checked your midi-settings in the parameters, right? - I don’t think the script outputs MIDI by default, but I’ll check that)

Yes, difference is that other scripts allow you to select midi device number. Thank you

Totally down to beta test. Could also give it a shot at adding it myself if you point me in the right direction.
