also what is making the soft delicious pad sound in the second demo?

Cool to see something based on Music Mouse :slight_smile: I still need to get an olde mac working to run my bought copy of that…

Uhh obvious question: would it be somehow possible to control this with an actual mouse? :slight_smile:

@Cementimental So… there is actually USB mouse support hidden away in the code already :smirk:

I commented it out because I’ve been having trouble getting Norns to consistently identify and connect to my mouse, and the values produced by it are a bit jumpy and hard to control at the moment (needs smoothing? or maybe my mouse is terrible).

But if you want to try it out, go to line 262 in the code and delete the two -- dash characters at the beginning of this line before setup_mouse:

--setup_mouse()  -- Revist this, a bit experimental and crazy at the moment.

Glad you’re enjoying it :slight_smile: I’ve also been listening to a lot of Laurie’s music while working on this script!

@leescan The second demo is mouse + Nord Lead 2.

The light sine wave pads are mouse, and the other two sounds are two channels/patches of a Nord Lead triggered by MIDI sent from mouse. Everything is sent back into Norns and mixed through mouse’s built-in delay!

X is sending MIDI to Nord Lead channel 1, Y to Nord Lead channel 2, and both have a low trigger probability so they don’t ring as many times as the main mouse sound.

^ This is a great recipe I accidentally discovered for thickening up the sound of a mouse sequence :slight_smile:

Yes! Been a huge fan of Laurie Spiegel for years and always wanted to use her software.

Thank you for this! It sounds incredible!

~ one side note upon initial exploration ~ I noticed that when a pattern is running, if I move the Y position to the far upper region the pattern stops playing and will not restart. Is there a way to restart the pattern without reloading? Apologies if I’m overlooking something obvious.

Well done! I’m really excited to explore this script.

For folks who haven’t ever used the original Music Mouse software, there is an online emulator.

Also, @cfd90, it would be super lovely to see support added for Just Friends in addition to Crow.

Thanks everyone for checking out the script! :slight_smile:

Feel free to share recordings here, I’d love to hear how people are using it.

I noticed that when a pattern is running, if I move the Y position to the far upper region the pattern stops playing and will not restart.

@ntrncr I have a hunch this is the pattern causing an out of range MIDI note to be triggered. Could have sworn I fixed this, will take a look! Curious if it’s just the pattern that stops or the whole sound engine.

Also, @cfd90, it would be super lovely to see support added for Just Friends in addition to Crow.

@jaseknighter I can potentially look into this, but I don’t have a Crow (yet?) or a Just Friends so it might be hard for me to test / know what is useful for it to do. Maybe somebody with one could help out here?

Adding basic functionality for Crow and Just Friends is very straightforward. I’d suggest you search for ‘crow.output’ and ‘crow.ii.jf’ in awake’s awake.lua file to see an example. I’m also happy to test if it would be helpful.

What crow output would you like to see? X/Y control on in 1 and 2, 1v/oct + gate pairs for outputs?

I’m going to add crow stuff on a fork at the weekend.
