That doesn’t seem normal. There isn’t dead space possibly at the beginning of the buffer is there? Are you preloading tracks or recording into the buffers?

#86

I’ve been live recording into the buffers, in this case. Is there a way I can tell if there’s space at the beginning of the buffer?

#87

does this seem to be better or worse with wifi on/off, by chance?

(“delay between button press and state change” sounds like an event loop / lua-side thing and not like a buffer / DSP-side thing.)

#88

I’ve had wifi on, but switching it off doesn’t seem to make much of a difference.

After some more poking, this actually doesn’t look like an issue isolated to start/stop. I’ve just got general interface lag on almost all functions, except for changing the track focus, and starting/stopping recording.

Update: After power cycling Norns and re-recording some new stuff, the issue isn’t happening anymore. Is there a way that I can grab a sample of the process over serial if this happens again to help with possible debugging?

#89

presently clip length max is set to 45 seconds. there are 7 clips available.

i can easily double this by using both buffers. the clips are spread out across the buffer at 45 second intervals— this is a constant var in the script and easy to tune.

I don’t think this deserves its own thread in the lib section.

The mlr64 2.0.1 for non varibright grids(should be easy to mod for all your varibright needs).

Column 3 on Rec/Speed view only lights up if it is “time mapped”, but still functions as a focus button as well(in addition to column 2).

Is midi sync currently working in mlr? I had previously in the 1.0 days synced tempo with my Octatrack with a usb to midi cable. I can’t seem to get it to sync now though.

#92

oooo-weee!

ok MLR is working great!

question…does MLR send out a ton of MIDI info?

I have norns connected to MIDI through an old iConn USB to MIDI box thing.

the setup is with the Deluge sending out a master MIDI clock into a passive MIDI splitter and then to the Little Deformer 3 and then through the iConn box to norns.

my Little Deformer 3 would get a horde of MIDI data and then crash.

more testing tonight.

thanks for any help or info!

#93

currently mlr sends clock messages but does not send start/stop messages, which some devices expect.

actually, there’s a typo on that line which prevents clock from being sent. should be midi_device:send not midi_device.send

trigger params for midi clock start/stop might be a nice addition to mlr?

Ah nice ok I don’t need it to send transport as much as I’d like to just sync the clocks up. Gonna try changing that line

**made the change and its syncing up now thanks

made a drawing for 128 grids as well. Not 100% happy with how this looks if anyone wants to do some adjustments I’ve added the illustrator file here as well.

I would LOVE that. 20chars

What am I doing wrong? If I load a clip and play it back it slowly dies. It starts out at a good volume and slowly fades until it’s gone. I don’t have record on on that track. It also happened to a clip I recorded in, but not the other one I recorded in.

It’s as if I’m overdubbing silence, only… I’m not.

#98

Is the overdub param in the rec/speed menu anything above 0.0? And is the rec button active(column 1)?

#99

Nope. That’s why I’m confused.

#100

Try repulling the script from git maybe?

#101

I’ve not yet had a good look through the lua code for mlr but I did notice:

local FADE = 0.01

I’d also noticed my loops very slowly fading out but thought I was probably just imagining it. Might be worth changing the above to 0.00 and see if that makes a difference. It may well be unrelated!

#102

that sets the crossfade time and should not influence overdub/erase level

(i have not run the script lately to verify that settings are as expected. you can monitor OSC from matron -> crone though…)

though i suppose if your xfade time is very long relative to the length of the loop, then loop beginnings could seem weirdly silent

bug report (sorry, I don’t have a GitHub account)
This came about after some semi-random button mashing… if you hold Alt and Q then hit any of the three page keys the audio shuts off and does not come back unless you reload MLR.

#104

Is there a way to have one input bypass mlr and have one input go directly to monitor? Most likely doing a gig this weekend and would love to have a dictaphone just running without any effect on one input.
