i have a few questions that im not sure about

im trying to scrub a longish sample using this command but couldn’t get any movement in numbers on the start time. Is there something else that should be added to this command? I would like to play about with the sample parameters extras more but couldn’t work out how to do it

How does load and save pattern work? Is that a preset or a pattern of all 4 channels? I’d like to be able randomly flip through different patterns. Is that done in the global text box ~?

Can you give me an “ever” example? Does this mean every x cycle do something? eg play 4 times, randomly jump. Can you use it like a song mode? eg play pattern 1 8 times, play pattern 2 8 times?

I’ve just made a few fixes for control commands so pos and others are now working as intended. :upside_down_face:

load/save, called from within script cell or repl acts almost as ones from params menu, except for not loading/saving sample params.

It requires a bit of setup for randomised pattern switches -

  • save a few patterns with integer names - 1, 2, 3, 4
  • place at the end of each pattern (load (rnd 1 4))
  • something like song mode is also possible with (ever 2 (load (rnd 1 4)))
  • not tested on high bpm :smile:

the load/save patterns is working great and its good to be able to get access to the sample params stuff now - im using some filter modulation and sample stretch. And sample scrub works great also - thankyou!

I really love this script so far, but how can I call functions from a pattern?

Each third cell can store a script. Place cursor on it and press Enter to open text editor, Shift+Enter to save, Esc to close

Thank you very much, now it’s clear

This is excellent but am getting error codes when trying to use shift and up/down to whizz between samples in parameters page:-

Strtch (stretch) is actually strch if anyone was wondering :slight_smile:

is there a way to do probability with existing code via rnd? I guess a random blank sample selection would be one way?

there is a special op for not playing step - halt, you can combine it with ever or smth :slight_smile:

yeah, silly typo. will fix

this is fixed

Is there a way to randomise the number of steps only in one column ? Something like (length A (rnd 1 8)) ? That would be great . Cheers!!

Just started messing around with Nisp today. This is wild. I need to get my sample library into an actual sample library and I can see this being a really fun way to do stuff.

(are there full trackers out there that have functions like this?)

This is lovely. I’m having so much fun!

Some thoughts after a night of jamming with this.

It would be great if there would be variables for the encoders and the buttons. If I can dream, even MIDI mappable variables.

Navigating the params page is a bit tricky when there’s a lot of samples. A jump shortcut from a sample to the next one would be nice. I thought shift + up/down did this but apparently it’s for sample selection.

If I have a pattern length of 17, and at 17 I have a (jmp 1), the playhead appears to start from row 1, but the first sample that gets played is from 2, and not from 1. So a jump to 1 is practically jump to 2. Is this how the logic should go?

I’ll definitely try hacking on this at some point myself. I see this as a beginning of a beautiful friendship. :heart_eyes:

this should work across all params page

hmm, try (jmp 0)?

need to take a look, havent really used nisp myself :upside_down_face:

@its_your_bedtime What is the best way to retrigger / note repeat the same cell for stuttering? Ideally want to retrigger and random the stutter and hold a cell for x amount of time.

Here’s some Nisp

Hey Y’all. I am having trouble understanding how to work this script. I just picked up my norns again after a break and saw this exciting looking addition to the library. I have been toying around and cant seem to get the hang of it. Im wondering if maybe Im missing some prerequisite knowledge here. Im pretty competent with programming and music tech in general but im finding myself stumped .

I have gotten sound out of it but its seems like Im shooting in the dark and it doesnt sound anything how i would expect ( not always a bad thing!). Essentially I cant seem to figure what I need to enter into the different cells. I have a solid understanding of the commands but its the sample part that has me scratching my head. Many thanks.
