I can’t not give this a try. I’m not sure the best place for it in my system, but I’m looking forward to exploring.

Same here. First alone is really compelling, let alone combining this with grid, Norns, Ansible.

#66

bravo :slightly_smiling_face:

#67

My system is going to happily get smaller now

#68

Coding is not something I have any experience in, currently, but I was curious if Just Type, via Ansible through Crow would be possible.
Could Ansible act as a midi host for Crow?

I’m also curious what MIDI devices @tehn tested. More specifically whether the OP-1 would play nicely.

The crow studies page say we need Norns version 190920 but I’m only seeing 190817 as the latest. Has 190920 been released?

I’m pretty sure that he specified that crow is not a midi host. It will connect to Norns via usb but not other midi controllers to my understanding

#71

Could you theoretically run hundred rabbits Orca or Less Concepts from Norns -> Crow to i2c to Just Friends? without a laptop.

Yes - I want to use the Norns sequencers directly to Poly JF using Crow i2c. Wondering how easy it is to set that up. Even the Norns sequencers direct to er301 also, via i2c, with Norns as the midi host.

Looks like it’s not been pushed to the releases page, but the norns master branch is probably up to date with the new crow updates.

I would think an official norns update will happen when crow ships.

What a fantastic day! Just ordered one, had to hold back on two, most probably will get another.
Anyway, happy Crow Day to all!

Just thinking through possibilities: Would it be reasonable to slave an ansible to crow in order to give crow more outputs (acknowledging that ansible is set up for CV and gates)?

This appears to already be supported, using the same interface Teletype uses to treat Ansible as an IO expander.

yes! one of this weekend’s projects. already have a crow-friendly cv-enabled version running from the norns-crow test branch. just takes adding the right maths + allowing the user to switch streams in params. scripts should be able to add JF i2c without much sweat.

Wasn’t expecting to be that into this, but having read more about it this morning it will certainly be interesting to see what uses people come up with, especially since I recently picked up a JF.

Not a particularly important question, but what is the front panel made of? I would guess machined aluminium but that sounds like it would be relitively expensive to make. Got me thinking maybe it’s some kind of 3D printed material?

Another possibility question: Given that crow isn’t a USB host, would it be feasible to create a “Grid Ops” like implementation via ansible? I’m not sure what kind of processing tolerence crow and the i2c bus have.

Can crow listen to Arc - as in writing a script that uses Arc as a controller?

It seems to me that Lua is more accessible to non coders than the Ansible firmware is and I would love to make more creative use of my Arc within the modular system and with playing tape like audio files on the ER-301 via i2c (or CV).

couldn’t resist. very excited to delve into this. https://github.com/monome/crow/blob/master/lua/default.lua just looks so… approachable!

The outputs are arbitrarily assignable for pitch/cv duties right? for example, if i wanted to write a script that puts out 4 streams of 1v/oct, or 4 related cv envelopes, etc?
