@ioflow @Galapagoose I just received notice that my crow is delivered and am willing to test with my i2c modded er301 (when i get home!).

Writing “dream code” for crow is keeping me busy while I wait :slight_smile:

Is this closing the loop on moving the features of the Aleph to a Lua dev environment? I always liked the programmable CV aspect of Aleph.

i’ve thought about this quite often…but what specifically brought it to your mind?

it would be cool to have alephs leading/following on ii busses with crow but likely too much dev time involved (for very little reward)

I thought about it because the software to CV thing is always on my mind and I have a Norns. It’s always next to the modular gear but I don’t have a solution to close the control loop.

Crow is a pretty short path to that closure

It’s funny that this system is like, hm, 10x or 12x the compute power of aleph. Does more stuff but much of that headroom goes towards making things more accessible / dynamic. (I mean also can do more stuff at once, dont get me wrong. But limitations are cool)

Still thinking about aleph firmwares.

Me too. I’ve leveled up a bit in firmware understanding now that I’m working with people that write flight control software where timing is crucial. Building good dev environments to make small, fast computers easy to program is def the cutting edge. I’d love to do a story session sometime.

Testing jet engines isn’t that far from our weird computer music adventures.

I am doing a performance (my first modular performance yelp) on Saturday, and have built up this piece around the crow first script. Would love to hear what you think. Thanks

Excellent, thank you! I didn’t realise it was a new mode rather than the run modes, exciting.

Not new! Been around for a long time now, but previously only accessible via Teletype!

Just received my crow.
I’ve read it somewhere else, but the distance between the 2 mounting holes is just too big. I can’t mount it in my case. (well, not without some struggle).

I also had this problem…they don’t quite line up.

It’s a bit frustrating and feels like a hiatus with the whole “monome minimalism”. Already had an issue with the teletype before.

The fit was fine for me. Which case are you using? I’m using an MDR case.

Mine’s a Roland SYR-E84. I got it to fit eventually, but I think one of the screws is probably slightly angled.

Felt that way for me too. Had to really torque the nuts. Also only fitted in the ”other side” of my doepfer case - I wanted it at the edge of the row.

Three different cases. Won’t fit. Or hardly.
Fits well in a Pulplogic lunchbox.

Hmm, that’s odd. Not sure what’s going on there.
