Thank @shellfritsch, I have been loosely tracking it – its my #1! :smiley:

I believe this is only for parameter recall, not clip loading. I’d love a mass-save function that stored all my currently loaded/recorded clips and the grid state, but that’s a tall request I believe, due to having to store the audio.

Yeah I can completely understand how a “snapshot” feature would be tedious to program. Right now I’d settle for a simple “save preset” with clip loading even if it’s not in realtime, because I’m so sad when I close an MLR session with cool loops that I’ve made and know it’ll be gone forever. Good mental exercize though ! (I deal with the same pain when I make a new sound on my Perfourmer and it served me well although I can take pictures of the panel for “recall” it’s never quite the same when I do)

You can save the recorded loops from a session before putting norns to sleep

One by one in the clip view you mean ? But it doesn’t bring them back when I make “preset load” right ?

#209

session saving is on my issue list for mlr improvements. i apologize for the wonky manual workarounds.

It’s ok, I spent two whole days just improvising with MLR, you don’t have to apologize for anything I think ^^

#211

Yeah you would save them one by one but it is really nice to be able to do that since 2.0

Before 2.0 I would record the loops I liked into ableton and then load them into dust so I could re-load previous sessions

Agreed, it’s just that I have this workflow where I do a lot of itteration and re-record over all the time and the simplicity of “save preset” would allow me to just go along and say “this track I worked on was presets 5 to 12” and recall that, where using the workaround is too much of a buzzkill so I only end up saving the final state and not the different interesting moments of the process. But yeah you’re right I should have mentioned it !

I don’t think the lua part is actually that big a deal.

Softcut / crone needs work to be able to queue up read/write work requests and stuff.

Right now I think it will basically work but the OSC handler thread will be occupied while the disk io happens. With uncontrolled side effects

Is clip load working for others in the 2.1 update? Also I’ve notice a bug where pressing play on the record page doesn’t work, tracks have to be started from the cut page

#215

I can check tomorrow. in the meantime do you see errors in maiden?

#216

I also noticed after just updating Norns that the leds are off on the cut page

#217

no errors in maiden, i found that if you hit resize the sample will then play

#218

would love the ability to sync playback to clock…

to follow up on this, there’s another bug on the cut page where pressing a grid key is offset on the x-axis by increments of 1 on each track. pretty weird

on a semi related note, I’m finally making making headway on adding a fourth earthseas style page to mlr!

ed. I FUCKING DID IT

To confirm, this happens for me too.

thanks for the report. something must’ve gotten weird, will check it out and fix.

hello all mlr nornsers!

this is a bit of a random/strange request but in case i get lucky- can anyone out there “sell” me on mlr? i really really really want to get into it but so far its just not clicking for me. everyone says its so genius, and for sure it is, but i feel i’ve missed something inside of me which will do mlr justice and i’d really love some help to see the light!!!

i got into monome all the way back in 2009, and even back then mlr was the go to program to use. i have so many friends who literally only ever used mlr for their entire grid experience all these years. and for 10 years now i’m still awkwardly using mlr, just now i have it on norns and i really want to figure it out!

i guess i understand how it works technically, you can have live input, or load up samples. there are pattern recorders, you can jump to different points in the loop and record these movements. you can change the speed of the loops, and there are global parameter recorders for quick changes of settings and chopping.

so in one way i guess i don’t need a walk-through of mlr from the very start (though that might be awesome to see, just in case i’m missing something obvious), and i’m not asking how to make music or a particular style of music. and also i understand that mlr and different ways to make music aren’t for everyone- i’ve managed to have some of the happiest moments of my life making music with my grid without mlr.

but if anyone wants to share how they use mlr in specific way, or if anyone has any stories to share about a moment where mlr first “clicked” for them… i would absolutely love to hear about it! and thanks again to this community for the past 10 years of mlr videos, they are always fascinating to me to watch.

One thing I really love about Norns MLR is its focus on live input. Recently I played an improv kinda droney set where I was playing little bits with a keyboard hooked up to my modular, and then looping those to form textures with MLR. What made it really fun is this turns MLR into some wild looper / sampler hybrid, where some of the interest I created was precisely bc I could play a row like a drum machine for a bit and then loop what I played.
