Super excited for this levelling up of my ability to pretend I can make actual music
I’m getting some pitch weirdness when I hit start/stop on the chords. Anyone else having this behavior?
A sample:
lol what is that! I’m not totally sure what is happening there…it sounds like portamento. are you in “monophonic” mode perhaps?
huehue thanks that helped somehow I had it set to monophonic by default
It’s failing to load for me since updating it - any idea why?

is your norns running norns: update 210927? the sequins
library was introduced during this update.
Is there a Fates Update for that yet? Encountered the same problem, but using a Fates instead of Norns.
Haven’t troubleshot yet but I’m managing to get it to crash the audio completely (no sound on any script till a restart) on the last 2 new piano instruments
Yes, you can run update from the menu and it will work.
Or at least it did for me.
v0.5.0 - two more synths!
- new synth: “aaaaaa” by @sixolet (a really cool vowel-y synth)
- new synth: “triangles” by @chrisl (based on their wonderful triangles script)
- bug fixes: arp fixed generously by @riot
Very cool - thanks!! Quick question - what is the easiest/quickest way to update mx.synths? Would I just press the “update” button in the “installed” tab in Maiden? I don’t want to have to re-download all of the instruments I have already installed if I don’t have to.
MX Samples is the one with all the instruments, MX Synths is not a large package, update thru Maiden is the easiest.
Oh sick! Can’t wait to update.
Yes, of course! Sorry for the brain cramp - thanks for clarifying.
Really enjoying these. As well as all the different synths, what I like the most is the amount of lfo modulation you have for all the parameters in the menu. The arp and chords also are very musical.
I have a couple of requests - would it be possible to use the grid instead of a usb keyboard to play? Would love to output midi for those arp and chord sections.
Hey thanks - the keyboard works great and is very handy for playing scripts.
The arps / chords output midi on 1 channel, when the keys are pressed, but was hoping they would also output midi, in the free running locked (unpressed) mode also.
Hey there!
I really like this format for having a library of synths in a single app.
I’m working on integrating mx.synths as a library in another app, following the directions from the top post and I am getting this error:
/home/we/dust/code/mx.synths/lib/mx.synths.lua:287: attempt to call a nil value (field ‘mx_fxset’)
Was wondering if something has been changed from what’s in the docs, or if I need to track down another error.
EDIT: I got it working, I needed to move the second two lines of code from the docs to my init function, just in case anyone runs into the same issue!
I’m wondering if anyone else is seeing CU spikes and hearing occasional crackling on 3b+/shield with the latest OS …
Running some droning songs and watching the !!! pop up on SELECT page of the norns menu.
which synth caused crackling? also what was the effective polyphony (# notes currently down + # notes being released)?
