iirc we had 7 voices of softcut at one point (briefly.)

working on softcut 2.0. this adds many features but should also improve efficiency. we may be able to get 8 voices. (that’s not a promise.)

just wanted to confirm that it works like a charm! thanks so much for tackling this! let me know if you get the button to light. a visual indicator would be the icing on top.

Had my first real session with norns and mlr yesterday. I’m speechless, it’s such a great platform! Endless fun and very inspirational.

For me the Norns and grid combo is the platform I’ve unconsciously been searching for since starting experimenting with music. Can’t wait to dig in deeper with more scripts. Thank you all for this wonderful, tactile, visually beautiful, deep and powerful creation.

Anyway, here’s a video from my first mlr session

I oddly seem not to be able to load clips…
did anyone experience this?
everything works fine, I can record etc only loading a clip won’t work.

i am also experiencing this right now. i just updated my norns and mlr. everything else is working in mlr. im able to load samples in to glut and cheat codes too.

still not working @tehn

retested again just now and it’s working here.

can anyone provide some details? maiden errors? soundfile types/locations?

Any type/location. I’ll check maiden later. Thanks

and what’s the symptom? an error? no audio?

newest norns os? newest mlr?

just does not load the file, everything else works.

file > /home/we/dust/audio/common/waves/01.wav 2

lua:

/home/we/dust/code/mlr/mlr.lua:792: attempt to call a nil value (global ‘sound_file_inspect’)

this seems like you’re not on the newest mlr, can you recheck?

Reinstalled…thanks

A true varispeed would imo totaly fit the mlr, probbaly better to be acsessed via encoder, unstepped.

do you mean something like the speed mod parameter, accessible on REC page?

you can edit its range here if you wish (by using e.g. controlspec.new(-2, 2) in place of controlspec.BIPOLAR

Will dig, i still have to try mlr but from demos didnt hear unstepped pitch but the half octave jumps. So i might have overlooked it when reading about mlr

the speed ratios produced by pressing grid buttons on REC/SPEED page are powers of two. this is indeed arbitrary but easily modified.
the calculation is here:
{ https://github.com/tehn/mlr/blob/master/mlr.lua#L488 }
and the integer powers of two are set here:
{ https://github.com/tehn/mlr/blob/master/mlr.lua#L667 }

either of these could be customized or parameterized if you wish.

but yes, it would make sense to me to try the app yourself before requesting changes to it.

Just had my first MLR session since the params overhaul and, MAN, you guys did such a nice job on all that. Mapped levels and pan in under a minute and am sitting here in heaven. Thanks @tehn and crew!

I’m trying to figure out a way to fade in a track smoothly- even if I set volume to zero, hitting the button on the far right if my grid plays the audio at full volume for a split second before muting it. I usually then just turn the knob in my Norns to fade it in. Ideally I’d love to avoid that initial spike though. Is this what the volume slew is for?
