Does anyone want to test an install script for the ugens?

I’m curious is this is a reasonable approach to installing these things?

new version (May 7, 2020) mi-ugens-install.lua (1.8 KB)

after you run the script - check /home/we/.local/share/SuperCollider/Extensions for the ugens.

#43

The script ran fine, but after reset i got error: SUPERCOLLIDER FAIL on boot with this in the norns.local error log:

Cannot connect to server request channel
jack server is not running or cannot be started
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for -1, skipping unlock
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for -1, skipping unlock
terminate called without an active exception
could not initialize audio.
Server 'localhost' exited with exit code 0.

EDIT: after a proper sleep and boot, things seemed fine. Interesting that System > Reset alone didn’t work as it usually does :woman_shrugging:

#44

huh…

This part I understand to mean that Jack crashed

JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for -1, skipping unlock
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for -1, skipping unlock

Did you reboot… Ah yes.

So yeah - I believe SYSTEM>RESET does not restart Jack, but I could be wrong there.

just updated github with some work on plaits - along with previous interface stuff on clouds and elements. https://github.com/okyeron/mi-eng

trying out some UI lib things for interface on the basic scripts. Let me know what you think

#46

Super weird error – whenever I instantiate the MiRings synth, all of norns’s keys stop doing anything. Encoders work fine, just keys stop. All keys: K1, K2, K3. Happens both in the branch you made adding Rings to Pedalboard, and in your mi-eng repo’s rings.lua script. :thinking: no visible errors in maiden, in either lua or SC

Norns supercollider: how to debug in sclang?
#47

more detail?

Like K1 won’t take you back to the menu screen?

OG hardware norns?

#48

Yup: K1 doesn’t take to menu in either Pedalboard or mi-eng/rings. In Pedalboard, on a pedal screen, K2 and K3 no longer navigate between tabs, and on the main page K2 no longer jumps to the pedal’s page nor does K3 confirm a pedal switch. And yes, ~1-month old new norns from monome’s shop.

#49

Baffled here. I don’t see that on my Fates (boots up Shield… gotta run update and then test)

No idea why that would happen - esp in pedalboard since it’s using mostly code copied from your other pedals.

How could the SC stuff kill the buttons?

#50

Yeah the fact that it happens to K1, and happens in both my script and yours… no idea what’s going on. Also probably worth noting that as far as I can tell the sound it makes on mine is also not what I’d expect at all. Much glitchier / weirder (and again – same behavior both in your mi-eng/rings script and Pedalboard)

#51

one of the controlspec calls is hosing something?

(the ugen itself might be wonky as the author said they are work in progress) …Or maybe I did a crap job of setting up the engine?

Did get the jack error just now after installing pedalboard.

can confirm - same behavior on shield. maybe something odd about the compiled binaries on Pi3? (fates is pi4) (although I’m using the binaries I compiled on the shield)

Some kind of lua error goes by when running pedalboard the first time, but it gets lost in the scrollback - something about upvalue pages

#52

Pushed an update to github for the UGens - looks like there was an error in the Rings class file causing norns buttons to go unresponsive.

So - if you want to fix that,

cd ~/.local/share/SuperCollider/Extensions
rm -r Mi*

then re-run the install script

Aw crap - rings is broken. Other stuff behaving badly.

Might wanna hold off on this for the moment while I get it sorted out

#54

everytime you receive these messages, open:
System Preference -> Security & Privacy -> General.
you will find the “MiMu.scx” as shown in the screenshot. then unlock the panel and press “allow”.

I tried intalling them yesterday, but I get “Error loading” message for everything but Rings. Rings loads fine but audio seems indeed broken.
The lua install script is a nice idea :slight_smile:

#56

probably need to restart (SLEEP, power off, power on)?

(or ;restart in both the matron and SC tabs in maiden)

#57

Ok my bad, I had renamed the “mi-eng” folder to mi_eng, everything opens correctly now, I’ll look into it this afternoon and report back :slight_smile:

#58

Updates

I updated the top post with a new archive of the compiled ugens and a revised version of the install script I posted up-thread.

Please download the new versions as it fixes some serious bugs with rings.

Hi can this be used with stock Norns ok?

#60

Should be fine.

Just remember this is still experimental and very much works In progress.
