There’s no ^^ crow praise thread, so I just wanted to comment on how easy it was to get it updated and running. I customized a Bowery script in just a short time and got it working in my system very quicky. Having written custom firmware for other modules, this is just such a dream.

Incredible work. Excited to continue to experiment with this.

Is the first script in the promo video using earthsea through norns to send pitch/Env through crow? Looking through the ash collection, it doesn’t look like earthsea has a crow connection option…?

Anxiously anticipating my first crow to arrive tomorrow!

crow basics were added in this change but there’s more to fully integrate for sure. when you have a chance to play with yours, feedback would be most welcome!

Yes! Its crow day for me! Definitely going to be on my mind at work all day…

Edit: fantastic! Meant go plug it in to norns and see what it could do, but got distracted changing parameters in the sample and hold script in Bowery and lost a few hours jamming. Well done, well designed, well documented and easy to find my way around.

I just want to quickly drop in here with a note of praise for Crow. I haven’t felt so much joy with a new piece of gear since I was first introduced to Max/MSP. My mind is just blown with the possibilities.

I really went back and forth on if I should get an ES-8 or Crow. ES-8, I think, made the most sense, given easy compatibility with Max, VCV rack, and all sorts of other obvious possibilities. But…Crow won. And Crow keeps winning every time I sit down with it. I have a 4way math script going right now that’s adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing voltages. I just finished up a dual drunken walk simulator, and I have a notebook quickly filling with other ideas.

So, praises to Monome and @tehn, praises to this forum, praises to Lua being super straightforward if you know a wee bit of Python.

I fear Just Friends is on the radar, for the awesome ii possibilities.

spreading those praises to @Galapagoose + @voidstar – crow is a Whimsical Raps / monome joint :wink:

I’m slightly hesitant to share messy scripts that could probably be improved by someone more expert, but what the hell. I’ll put some stuff together over the next few days in the Druid scripts thread

Please share them as they sound great. Also don’t worry about them being messy, this lovely community will only help you improve them and you’ll probably learn more too :grinning:

@tehn Any examples of how to try out the MIDI implementation? Also, when it comes to MIDI to 3.5 adapters, there’s always this Arturia vs Korg-type distinction, do you know if Crow prefers one over the other?

#434

It’s Type A (ie Korg), and usage is something like:

input[1].mode('midi')
input[1].midi = function(data)
  -- 'data' is the raw midi packet
  local msg = midi.to_msg(data) -- convert it to norns style midi table
  -- now 'msg' is your midi event
end

@Galapagoose thank you!

A small question before i buy crow :slight_smile:
If i have script running on the 4 outputs and i connect a norns to it and the norns only uses inputs and maybe 1 or 2 outputs. What happens to the outputs that are not being used by norns? Do they still function with the loaded script?

This depends on the loaded crow script and how the norns script sends commands.

It is possible to have norns allow the existing script to continue but it could create some weirdness (eg if both scripts try to use the same output). Customizing this behaviour would be a relatively easy intro to scripting for crow!

OOOO, crow midi thought…

has anyone tried to get the 16n to talk to crow via trs midi? would a 16 step sequencer be possible with this combo? only thoughts, no concept of feasibility.

A couple of Crow Qs…

  • Anyone with an Intellijel 104 7U case? Does the module fit well on the bottom row on the far left?

  • Can I buy one with the FTDI header and reset switches pre-soldered?

#440

I have the 84 7u and it fits fine in the bottom left not sure if it’s different

Did you have any issues getting both screws in?
