interact with a musical emission spectrum.

Requirements

norns
crow (optional)
grid (optional)

Documentation

K2/K3 changes sector
E2/E3 modifies sector position
K1+EX modifies parameters

the spectrum is divided into 4 “sectors”. the sectors emit notes based on their space along the spectrum (which is changed with E2/E3) - each line represents a note. each sector has parameters that can be modified with K1+E1/2/3, and more in the parameters menu.

if you are using crow, you can assign crow to specific sectors for emitting pitches directly from spectrum emissions.

using midi devices you can make rhythmic pads.

Just beautiful, as always.

Is there midi output available, as well?

murch33 · September 2, 2022, 1:57pm

Excellent! Just in time for the long weekend.

JosueArias · September 2, 2022, 2:04pm

Lovely script!
I’m on travel so I can’t check right now, it have MIDI out?
Thanks!

JoseQuervo · September 2, 2022, 2:05pm

Did I do something wrong?

Edit* works with maiden! Thanks!

JosueArias · September 2, 2022, 2:08pm

Try GitHub.com instead of GitHub.dev! Must be an errata the the instructions

DoS · September 2, 2022, 2:18pm

That worked - thanks!

infinitedigits · September 2, 2022, 2:34pm

yes my mistake! fixed now.

no midi in/out! not yet anyways. I think I’ll be able to cobble midi together soon

enjoy!! I found myself listening to this script for hours…I even put it online so I could listen to it while driving.

Oootini · September 2, 2022, 3:36pm

next level as always

fourhoarder · September 2, 2022, 4:48pm

I’ve been listening to it in the garage as I rebuild bike brakes and out of nowhere discordant tones sounded and oh no that’s my wife’s car backing up…

Helen · September 2, 2022, 4:52pm

Ohh, that snippet sounds gorgeous!

Will load it up tomorrow and see if I can figure out what’s what.

Thank you once again for your generosity with your creativity!

sonoCircuit · September 2, 2022, 5:48pm

Love it! The UI is beautiful… so mesmerizing. thank you for this.

edit:

tiny report:

when start or end are set to their max value norns crashes and requires the “vulcan death grip”. sadly no maiden printout to attach.
also it would be really nice if the reverb params that are overwritten would be reset to their previous state at cleanup.

lleicamun · September 2, 2022, 8:10pm

I have experienced three freezes/crashes as well, but every time after a different action, If I recall well after pressing too much pads on grid, or using a Norns Mod, or tweaking k2 k3 shifting zones.

Very nice sounding script though!

DoS · September 2, 2022, 10:34pm

Nice one! Just wanted to add that I’ve been listening to and tweaking this all evening while working, and it’s wonderful, especially on two Norns Shields at different settings and with a sub-mix run through some external effects.

Update: I’ve used it extensively in tonight’s Live and Indirect session too.

Helen · September 3, 2022, 8:47am

Probably a daft question, but how do I get Paracosms to make any sound?
I installed it yesterday and restarted, this morning I refreshed the catalogue in Maiden & updated to v1.3.0.
I had to wait for it to install all kinds of extra stuff, which flew by onscreen too quickly to follow. Then I restarted the Shield (System > Update says it’s up to date) & launched the script.
The start up page (see attached photo) and the Params menu look completely different to Zack’s video above.

Any suggestions to get it working in something like the way of Zack’s video above would be gratefully received.

Edited to add: The Grid shows the topmost left-hand side LED flashing, while on the bottom row, 3rd LED from left is lit and steady (no flashing)

XHG · September 3, 2022, 10:14am

For me, the script did not load the default samples in the newest version and I had to load some samples manually in the params menu or record something. Maybe you could try this?

Helen · September 3, 2022, 10:27am

I’ve uninstalled it but will reload it and see if that helps.
Thank you!

edgar · September 3, 2022, 3:50pm

Gorgeous sounds! But yeah i’ve been getting crashes as well

infinitedigits · September 3, 2022, 9:47pm

v1.1.0 - midi in/out + rhythm

new feature: midi in/out (see menus) (@bharris22 , @JosueArias )
new feature: kick w/ euclidean sequencer (PARAMS > KICK)
new feature: gating (PARAMS > GATING)
bug fix: resetting reverb levels fixed
bug fix: random volumes between sessions fixed
bug fix: unreleased waves fixed

after I added the midi-ness I thought it would be fun to integrate some rhythm into this (I had planned to from the beginning but didn’t for v1.0). its optional, but essentially lets you create rhyhmic variations of unquantized/random sine waves.

I was pretty much unable to replicate crashes with the above info, so if they are experienced on this version (@sonoCircuit, @edgar) let me know how to replicate them and I will try.

I will answer this in another thread @Helen (for future travelers) but basically you need to uncomment these lines within maiden. you can highlight them and press Ctl+-. then restarting will load them. there was a bug in these lines that I fixed today so it would be good to udpate beforehand!

bharris22 · September 4, 2022, 2:11am

Thank you very much!!
