added crow clock out.

it’s a little weird: the quantize clock is sent, so you can configure the subdivisions.

this has implications for how you play, and it’s made me realize there are a huge number of ways you could output clock from mlr events.

i’ll be thinking about it more— any feedback welcome.

(wish i could take a whole month off and just work on mlr)

ah wonderful – thanks! very excited to use mlr for grabbing synced loops from modular land.

i know you’re busy – but i’m wondering if pattern rec/stop quantization is something we might see soon? this will complete the synchronous loop environment for me :pray:

oh that would be easy. should have it tonight for you

woohooo!! thank you :slight_smile:

Wow! Can’t wait to try this out.
@tehn any chance of a clock input and clip reset? :pray:

Can anyone explain me what the clip resize function does? Changing the value seemed to to affect nothing at all :man_shrugging:t2: …or I just didn’t realize the changes…

Are there any strategies to record loops with the right timing? (I know there’s no quantization for rec yet). Do you load a click track? If so. Do you have different click tracks for different bpms?

Looking forward to playing with this when crow finishes it’s migration to my house

That would be amazing.

The clip resize should change the length of your clip, but I have noticed order of operations is important. So I load the clip with e2/k2, adjust the size with e3, and then commit to the size with k3. You’ll see the clip name change to look like a blank clip, but if you hit play you should hear a shortened version of whatever file you loaded. I’m wondering if it’s an issue that the file essentially loses its name in the process? Also, it would be great, though not sure if possible, to be able to select a specific portion of the clip. I’m not actually sure how mlr is resizing the clip from say 16 to .5. My guess is it’s just trimming off the end.

last night my mlr time was stolen by other tasks— will carve out time late today.

here’s the list i’ll be looking at: https://github.com/tehn/mlr/issues

We should get you down for that nyc Norns meetup and just hack on Mlr the whole time :+1:

Between clip saving in presets, and pattern start sync, this is basically my MLR wishlist

added quantized pattern start/stop

i feel even with the quantized start/stop there might be some slow drift… so i may need to refactor the pattern recording to actively self-quantize its loop points rather than rely on a recording of quantization

stop/starting the pattern resync’s

anyways— this is a start. should be useful i hope in the meantime

Sorry for asking, but how does the midi start/stop work? What midi devices does it need to come from?

Hi all, can anyone share a link to the mlr docs in progress? The prelim docs link at the top isn’t working for me and is 404. Thank you!

this looks like 'em: https://github.com/monome/dust/blob/master/docs/tehn/mlr/index.md (@tehn, can you plz confirm?)

apologies, we’ve been migrating docs around :slight_smile:

Thanks, Dan. I searched all over but forgot to check the GitHub project.

Wow, this is helpful. Can’t believe I goofed on figuring some of that out, especially the quantizing.

That to do list certainly gets me excited too!

:slight_smile: thank you :slight_smile:

just did a quick test and can confirm that clock out -> crow is working. looking forward to a deeper dive very soon.

mlr needs some serious doc and tutorial vid love :slight_smile:

maybe i just need to do a mlr screencast where i walk through everything…
