@Justmat
hello again!

another couple of performance requests…
(please forgive me if these are not possible and or have been already requested)

  • is it possible to have the volume level for each sound persistent on their screens? and if so…can they change with external control as well as with E1?

  • is it possible to add a parameter to turn off the screensaver/sleep screen mode?

thank you!

I’ll consider making the volume persistent before I release the next update. I don’t think I can do anything about the screensaver from the script, but I could be wrong. I’ll investigate.

The most crippling instance occurred when loading a saved session (a preset, from the menu where one can assign midi CC’s, etc). Like yourself, I am arcless, so that variable is out for my setup. Otherwise, vanilla 128 grid (2019) and vanilla norns (also 2019).

Norns only returned to a normal state after I pulled the plug via the kill switch on the bottom.

FWIW, this has only happened 2-3 times, out of probably 30 sessions.

Part of the difficulty here is that, when this flavor of lockup occurs, maiden/matron don’t produce a readout. Is there any kind of log file that one can pull after the fact? Sorry for my ignorance, I’m trying to be helpful, but alas am a level three minstrel.

This is likely a general Norns thing. All the midi mapping is handled by the parameter menu.

ok…
moving it to NORNS help.

thanks!

update v2.2

Just a quick update to make use of the new param menu features. Make sure you are running the latest version of norns. (200323 at the moment)

edit:
@SPIKE, i just changed the screen drawing to make the volume/cutoff indication persistent on the screen. :smiley: I almost forgot :smiley:

dove into it for last night’s broadcast!
phenomenal!

took a second to navigate around.
this is really a giant overhaul of the parameters!

all the data on display when assigning controls.
and thank you again for the dB display…it really helps when there is a horde of noiz going on!

I have a problem.
I mapped the volume of the tracks on a Korg nanoKontrol, with the slider at zero the display shows -60 but the sound comes out. What can I do?
The app is updated to the latest version.

Sounds like you may still have delay send set to a non-zero value. The default voice setting puts delay send at .02 on all voices, so even with track vol set to -60, you’ll still hear anything being sent to the delay.

Thinking on it now, perhaps I should change the default to zero out the delay sends…

Solved, thank you!
So for the moment using the delay it is not possible to reset the volume?

Only way that I can think of currently, is by deactivating the voice (use key2 on norns). This seems silly to me, and adding a delay volume parameter would be super easy. I will try to look at it this morning and post an update.

Thanks a lot, it would be great! :green_heart:
I encountered another problem, playing a sample with a non-zero speed, the sound distorts even at low volumes. For example, the same sample used with MLR doesn’t distort.

I’ve ran into this before as well, but never figured out what was going on. :sweat_smile: I’ll keep poking around

Thanks! I’m sure you will understand it!

Just pushed an update with a delay output volume parameter. This does make some engine changes, so you will need to sleep your norns after updating.

hey ya!
just an FYI…

after updating and sleep…

MANGL loaded up just fine…
loaded up the PSET i was working on.
went to Parameters page…CRASH.

maiden is displaying: Not connected to matron

norns screen is frozen on PSET save/load page

GRID and ARC are moving about and visually i can see it switching tracks when i push a button on the GRID but it won’t mute a track.

had to hit the murder button on the bottom of norns.
:frowning:
(i thought there was an added Vulcan Death Grip to force shut down norns)

anyhow…after a fresh start from sleep it’s running!

it’s K3 + K2 + K1 , in that order, and hold for 10 seconds. this is a soft reboot of the matron, crone and sclang components.

{so sorry, i had this backwards before}
