Hemisphere is a great firmware:) I much prefer it to the original release.
Anyway I just bought a Fates (which hasn’t arrived yet) but I think it’s worth the same.

Here’s the link for Captain MIDI specs. I think the above one is broken.

It will certainly work! Not exactly like crow as not all applications that support crow support midi (without some script editing) and vice versa, but it does allow simultaneous input/output of midi/cv from the rack to norns and back again.

It does require a usb cable be attached to the teensy, so a little 2hp breakout made from a blank panel and a usb micro panel mount extension cable can be a big help!

Thanks for the reply. today I use CAPTAIN Midi as a MIDI / CV interface with the micro usb cable from teensy to Mac :sorriso:

I would like to understand if I can take advantage of all the potential of the sequencers from the Fates to the Modular since I don’t have a Grid yet (or something similar) I still have a keyboard midi controler + a BSP Pro.

Now the question is: is the Grid irreplaceable at the moment?
through the Midi> Cv control of o_c can I take advantage of a good number of feautures?

Thanks in advance

Many of the sequencers need grid to work at their full potential

EDIT: my phone posted this as a half thought, sorry for the short reply

I was trying to understand if there is something cheaper at the moment. The Grid seem more expensive.

Worth a look at the Norns: alternative grids thread to answer that one for you.

To clarify: the more straight forward sequencers like Awake, Circles, Bounds, Boing… work great with norns and midi alone, even more complex ones like ORCA are great (need keyboard for typing commands). But the majority of the sequencers are grid forward. Probably worth digging through the norns library category to get a better idea of what is out there.

Thanks a lot :smile: I’ll take a look

I look several posts about the integration of Ornament & Crime with Norns and I decided to make a demonstration video.
This seems a good alternative to crow for those who already own an O_C module for integrate the NORNS in the modular environment.

In this video the semi probabilistic melody routing from Fates Norns with LOOM script to Ornament&Crime using Captain Midi app with hemisphere suite.
Set the midi device to norns with the wording hemisphere suite after setting the midi channel (1) to o_c module.
The sound routing in ER-301 with custom unit trashtape of @scttcmpbll
Script are developed by @markeats
Final sound in Magneto + ZDSP.

You find Captain Midi on Hemisphere Suite.
For connecting Norns i use a mini usb cable connected from Teensy inside the o_c to Norns using a usb cable from the o_c. A usb breakout on a small panel of some HP can be very useful:)

this works really well. also if you have an Intellijel case you can make or grab an adaptor from Plum Audio that lets you connect o_c Teensy usb to IJ case ports easily.

can you show me the url of the adapter? I can not find :smirk:

Thanks

#92

it is an add-on (see dropdown) for their 1u version is an extra $10 but i imagine they will sell separately:

Thanks:) but is very expensive:( I prefer to use the cheapest method :slight_smile:

#94

the adaptor board is only $10 - you don’t have to buy the module too

I did a little read through the docs but haven’t spotted it if it exists… Is there an equivalent of the Mutable Instruments Frames in Hemisphere Suite?

I’m hoping to produce a NOT gate or logical/gate inverter in Hemispheres using just one of the hemispheres (not the Neural Net which takes up both). Any tips? I’m imagining I could do this with the Threshold Logic Neuron app but I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it.

#98

@hinterlands: Probably the most straightforward logic inverter would be via the Voltage applet set to 5V in the Gate-Off mode. That’ll send 5V as long as the gate is low, and then go to 0V when the gate goes high.

You could also use the Logic applet and mult your signal to both inputs of NAND.

The way to do it with the Threshold Logic Neuron is to set one dendrite to -1 and the axon to -1. This way, the axon fires when there’s no input (since 0 > -1), but will shut off when the dendrite input goes high (when -1 == -1).

@dansimco: No, there’s nothing that really reproduces that capability in a meaningful way. The vector morph controller (VectMorph) is somewhat-adjacent, especially if you build custom waveforms. But you’d need a 4-channel VCA to go with it. I use The Bends for that kind of thing.

Thanks! I didn’t even think about the Voltage applet. I eventually figured out doing this with the Threshold Logic Neuron - basically doing exactly what you said. I also realized I could also do this with the Logic applet NOR gate if I used only one input.

New question for you - is there a way to patch up a flip flop with the Threshold Logic Neuron (or another Hemisphere applet)? This one seems tougher…
