Kria MIDI

ok pushed clock support - syncs nicely with AUM anyway - let me know if you have issues with other things. That adds Crow clock out too.

I’m going add crow support next but Saturday is my day off and I’m going out in the sunshine in a bit (while socially distancing but we can walk miles around here without seeing anyone) and it might not be complete today - see how it goes

Cobrah · 2020-05-05T01:50:10.633Z

Just wanted to say this rules, just did the most recent update. Any ideas on adding the playback direction like kria on ansible that is located on the top leftish corner of the scales page(forward, reverse, bounce, drunk, and random)?

junklight · 2020-05-05T05:55:28.593Z

yeah - coming - soonish - on one hand I’m trying to get a lot done prior to my paid income disappearing (which I’m expecting any time soon ) with a view to trying to find a new income stream and on the other: ‘lockdown’ so I’ve got quite a lot of time so fairly soon. Crow support next on my list since I’m in the middle of it. Then I’ll try and do playback directions before getting distracted by Islands (and by the new Crow oriented script that I’ve conceived of but have been very disciplined in not actually starting yet )

Cobrah · 2020-05-05T06:55:24.468Z

Awesome, sat down with islands earlier too for the first time and , so many possibilities with that program. You’re killing it!

alexeydemidov · 2020-05-08T07:46:09.987Z

I am feeling stupid, but how to make sequence longer? Steps after 5th or 6th are greyed out, i can tap on them and they change position (both in gates and notes screens) but the sequence do not go there:) have checked the manual on ansible page but there is no info about that actually, am i missing something really obvious?

junklight · 2020-05-08T08:02:30.861Z

the way you change the length of any track is to press the ‘loop length’ button (left hand button in the bottom row, third group from the left) and then while holding that down you can press two buttons in a track - first you hold down is start, second you hold down is end - probably worth trying to watch a video - it’s really hard to write about but very intuitive to use once you get the hang of it

alexeydemidov · 2020-05-08T08:19:47.983Z

Great, that works, totally intuitive if you know this but really hard to guess without knowing:) Thank you very much for your work!

junklight · 2020-05-20T19:11:13.325Z

I have been distracted by many interesting things of late BUT wrote 1/2 of the crow & ii output stuff tonight. I think I’ve come up with a nice solution. Coming soon!

junklight · 2020-05-22T10:20:53.987Z

ok - I’m taking a leaf out of some of my fellow developers books and not just throwing caution to the wind

SO - there is crow integration on the develop branch

GitHub

junklight/kria_midi

Port of the Kria Ansible sequencer to Norns Lua. Contribute to junklight/kria_midi development by creating an account on GitHub.

This is a whole new output module and allows for multiple midi devices as well as crow output.

The whole crow output scheme is a challenge because of course we all a) have different devices that crow allows access to AND b) we all want slightly different things. I think I may have a solution to this.

When it first runs it looks to see if a file called

~/dust/data/kria_midi/crowout.lua

exists. If not it instantiates it from a default copy - if it does exist it leaves it alone.

You can configure your crow outputs in this file. You can add as many as you want. You can configure strange envelopes and eccentric configurations to your hearts content. And they will stay between updates to my scripts. I will use the same module in Islands when I get to that stage. You can even share them with other people

There is a slight UX issue in that when you select between midi and crow the crow and midi parameters stay active. Reading threads elsewhere I understand that the parameter menu may become more sophisticated. It would be nice if selecting one choice or another let you hide and unhide different parameters (@tehn may have more info). You can also select the same outputs for different tracks which may or may not be desirable

I’ll publish to the main branch after the weekend. If you feel comfortable with git I’d be really grateful if people could give it a whirl

junklight · 2020-05-25T14:32:55.551Z

OK- merged to main. Assuming it all works brilliantly (yeah right ) or that people can’t be bothered fiddling with git (Which is fair enough) - shout if you run into issues please…

I need to build support for an engine in to this module before it goes into Islands. (obviously currently distracted by totally other things as usual - will get back to Islands soon enough)

thopa · 2020-06-01T14:23:47.306Z

Hi!

Is there a way to reset to step 1 when receiving midi clock?

Thanks

junklight · 2020-06-01T14:26:26.295Z

in theory it does

github.com

junklight/kria_midi/blob/master/kria_midi.lua#L133


  clock.run(do_bar)
  
  -- grid refresh timer, 15 fps
  metro_grid_redraw = metro.init(function(idx,stage) gridredraw() end, 1 / 30 )
  metro_grid_redraw:start()
  -- screen redraw - really low fps 
  metro_screen_redraw = metro.init(function(idx,stage) redraw() end, 1 / 5 )
  metro_screen_redraw:start()
end

function clock.transport.start()
  k:reset()
  id = clock.run(pulse)
end

function do_bar()
  clock.sync(4)
  clock.run(do_step)
end

function do_step()

But I didn’t have much luck with that part of the clock - I’ll have another play at some point

thopa · 2020-06-01T16:31:26.208Z

Thanks for the quick response. I manage to sync it to tempo but not reset
Gracias!

Ratcheting seems to work differently here than in the video by @Puscha – would be lovely to be able to skip those steps!

junklight · 2020-07-28T15:52:08.132Z

I’m planning on going through @Puscha video in detail & updating Norns Kira to match. However kind of full on at the moment so it will be when I get to it on my todo list though

spacelordmother · 2020-07-28T15:55:08.473Z

So it goes, and of course! Many thanks for your efforts, all in good time.

Puscha · 2020-07-29T02:54:12.705Z

You did pop into my head when I was making the video, I meant to message you in case it would be useful for the fantastic work you’ve being doing on this port. I wrote a script to read off for the video, let me now if you’d like to have access to it, if you think it would be helpful

junklight · 2020-07-29T05:37:23.218Z

yeah cheers that would be very useful! thank you

this script just stopped sending out midi today, any idea why that would be? other scripts work so it’s not my setup. the only thing i can think of is that i’ve recently figured out how to save sets and i recently switched between one to another. it has been saving my clock setting automatically on script load, which has been 300 bpm for a while. i see matron mentions something about ignoring clock, so maybe that’s it? i have 2 psets saved but i don’t use those, i just start from the original state each time, which seems to be saving things like clock and patterns like i mentioned

encephalitislethargi:

as with most scripts, it seems to save the previous state rather than giving

delete or move the script’s directory under ~/dust/data if you want to start with a blank slate.

this may fix your problems with kria if they are due to an update changing the saved data format.
