updated some of my own sounds for the scripts’ library and it turned into this:

Does anyone know whether these scripts have been “broken” by the new Norns update? I received a blast of white noise when loading Planetary and another one last night that required a restart. This happened several times.

Thanks in advance!!

dan_derks · March 24, 2022, 1:13pm

hihi! hope all’s well
not broken necessarily, but there was a softcut-centric bug which the new build surfaced (softcut filter(?) explosions in latest builds · Issue #1526 · monome/norns · GitHub), which was recently fixed (Pick/softcut fix init glitch by catfact · Pull Request #1533 · monome/norns · GitHub) and will be coming in a system update shortly. all of these scripts rely on softcut, so they’ll all be temporarily affected by it until the update – hang tight!

also, such a lovely reminder of how special this collection of expressions is

bharris22 · March 24, 2022, 1:25pm

All is well here, and I hope the same is true for you!! Thank you so much for your tireless monitoring and response to my endless series of questions .

That’s excellent news about the update - I’m always afraid I am doing something wrong when something like this happens. I will sit tight!

Thanks Dan!
Are there any plans in the works to do another circle? I had a really great time with the first two!
