Is it possible to rename tape recordings within norns?

#300

not yet, but @tehn is studying some fun naming function :smiley:

here’s a simple line that loops over every directory in dust/code and executes git pull origin master which will update it if it is a git repo (and the mainline branch is master). please use at your own risk, it is not the safest thing to pull in arbitrary code changes from a bunch of repos

ssh we@norns.local
// enter sleep
// from the home (~) directory, execute the line below
for dir in dust/code/*/; do cd $dir; git pull origin master; cd ../../..; done

We’ve seen some initial connection issues within the dev crew a couple of times whilst the reception wasn’t very good. I believe just moving norns closer to the accesspoint/router to connect the first time made it work all the time for those cases.

It’s working fine for me with a signal value of ±65 using nmcli device wifi list.

Took a second to understand the new script organizing / Library / SFTP vibe but now that I get it, its so great. Much faster and now I am more frequently engaged w/ Maiden. 2.0 is great - thank U all!

Much appreciation for the work that went into 2.0; Arc functionality is great!

have to once again say thanks to all who worked hard on this release and updated their apps

honestly still haven’t gotten around to using some code in the library
we are truly spoiled for choice!

What script is that? Hard to see, but real pretty!

#311

Thanks @atomboyd!

It’s a midi-note recorder work-in-progress. The Arc controls an adjustable window that optionally constrains playback and overdubbing to a range within the original full loop. At the moment it just records triggers and note values (i.e. not gates . . . that’s a longer range goal).

Very cool, can’t wait to try it out… do you ever have issues of norns restarted when arc and grid are both plugged in?

It’s happened a few times, but not consistently, still pretty new to Arc land though.

#313

I’ve crashed the norns / grid / arc combo due to coding errors and during some high-frequency grid/arc updating situations (< 0.001 s step sizes), but I haven’t 1) purposefully stress tested the set up to try and identify specific update limits for this code or 2) attempted code optimization yet.

I haven’t had norns spontaneously restart, either w/grid/arc or other operation.

#314

:scream:

way too fast. this isn’t a norns bottleneck (unless you were also trying to draw screen or send OSC or something) but a serial port and grid/arc firmware bottleneck.

serial port bandwidth is ~100kb/s
each LED is 4 bits

#315

Thanks @zebra! The numbers help (I think) explain some of the intermittent gremlins I’ve seen. Should I interpret a grid:refresh as 128x4=512 bits in all cases, or does it matter how many LEDs are changing state? Would the ~100kb/s translate directly to some kind of per step burst limit?

Atm, I’m running at 0.01 s base step size with a range of 0.0025-0.03 s to change playback speed and it is running stable with grid/arc during playback, but I am getting the occasional (but unrepeatable) gremlin at 0.0025 s when there is also input on arc or grid.

#316

Grid refresh is actually getting data sent for 256 leds every frame

See https://monome.org/docs/serial.txt and look for prefix/led/level/map

Help! I just ran update from the menu item, now after it said complete ,the screen seems to be unresponsive, if i reset then power up, grid sparkles, but nothing on the norns screen… any ideas?

I can connect to maiden, but matron and sc both say they cant connect

edit: serial/manual update fixed it

#319

Just loaded up @zebra’s crown script again and it is the first time I realised that there seems to be some kind of grid function programmed to it but I am unsure what the grid actually does… It seems to capture the softcut buffer somehow?
But maybe it is supposed to remain a mystery since the script is also not in the community catalog. Still curious…

#320

it sets rates, levels, positions and feedback parameters for 4 softcut voices

i should tidy up / document ‘crowns’ and add it to community repo. main thing that bugs me (trivial) is the lack of a proper audio taper for sine levels.

Thanks a lot for your reply, it would be cool to have this script in the community catalog for sure. I really like it a lot like it is, would be cool to be able to map the parameters to external controls (yeah, I should really spend some time trying to learn these things, I know…) but I will check out the grid stuff again. Thanks!

#322

i would really love this! crowns is one of favorite scripts

one thing i’ve always wondered is the input pitch tracking fully implemented? or is that just the beginning of that idea in the code?
