No worries at all! I was basing my post on another module altogether (shuttle control) :sweat:

Appreciate the help, I think I’m gonna just let Hermod go as part of a massive downsize I’m doing. I’ll see if Norns plays nicely with the USB on the 1U midi Intellijel tile/case.

I can confirm that it works with expert sleepers FH-2

The umidi will also work

Can the norns tape act like a multi track? A basic one? For example can I record on top of previous recordings? Overdub?

My norns is held by customs still so can’t play yet.

I am planning to build an OP-1 style tape system but until I’m capable, was hoping the norns could help me out.

I’d look into the new softcut that @zebra has built in 2.0. Check out the dedicated thread and @tehn’s Orbit, it’s a dual looper and it might give you some clues.

@P1505 take a look at reels, it might be what you’re looking for :slight_smile:

in a basic sense: yes, you can make a Tape recording, then play it back and record that with additional stuff.

should probably add some better saturation behavior for this usecase

Hi!

Doing some norns research after seeing some of these new scripts for 2.0… I’m starting to become super intrigued. I feel like this may be answered or asked by someone before, but if I wanted to use any of the MIDI out enabled scripts to sequence my modular setup, whats the best way of doing so? For my OP-Z I use a iConnectivity MIO + Mutant Brain. Would this work or would I need a MIDI/USB host between the two.

Also I remember seeing a youtube video floating around with (probably a user here) using a Push 2 as a controller for Norns, is it easy to edit scripts to make this possible? I’m not super versed in coding etc, much more of a musician but I’m willing to learn some basic coding just from seeing/hearing the possibilities with norns. Really starting to get the gears turning in my head.

Thanks!

I received my norns/grid this week and am experiencing many instances (10-15x per day) of the unit completely freezing up (buttons and encoders don’t do anything, GUI is frozen), accompanied by a loud audio buzz that doesn’t stop until the unit is reset. It doesn’t seem to be consistent to a single patch, but does seem to be consistent with any patch that wasn’t the first one loaded up after a hard reset. In that scenario it seems to behave fine. Sometimes unplugging the grid and plugging it back in will force a hard reset while it’s in this state, but that’s not consistent either. I have audio L/R in, and audio L/R out, and no other devices connected. Any ideas? Is this normal? Is the unit defective? Thanks for your guidance.

my guess is these issues will disappear once you update to 2.0 (which will be officially released as soon as tomorrow). in the meantime there have been similar issues in this thread with some solutions involving: disabling reverb, ssh then running a few commands, etc.

I have been plugging mine directly into Expert Sleepers FH-2 and it Just Works. This is USB-A out from the norns into the USB-C in on the FH-2.

I’ve been using a Mutable Instruments CVPal to interface my norns with a modular. Norns operates as a midi host, so device-only modules work great.

Awesome, glad to hear Norns is a host. I guess its fair to assume my current gear would work correctly with it. Thanks @robbbiecloset/@germinal!

#1196

answered via e-mail, but to repeat: try first disabling AUX REVERB in SYSTEM > AUDIO. it’s a CPU hog.

v2.0 is a massive overhaul of the DSP system and it is much more balanced (in addition to being better in every way!) tomorrow or friday latest.

Disabled. Will test more thoroughly tomorrow as I anxiously await v2! Thanks Brian

trying to add a png - everything is good on init but when the screen is redrawn, the text disappears (almost like the png takes over the screen, though it remains at the same position/size). am I missing something? finding that it’s rather finicky as far as where this line needs to be in redraw():

screen.display_png("/home/we/dust/code/tunnels/tunnel.png", 0, 0)

this feature probably hasn’t had much actual testing yet :slight_smile:

I’m guessing you will want think of this as “layers” and the png will probably be a background, so you’d load that first then add text next. Not actually sure what to expect if that’s being called a bunch of times in a row from a redraw() on a metro.

I’d check to see if your redraw() has everything in the same order as the init()?

Also - think about optimizing the image for the size you want it to be on the display, reducing colors, etc. (try to keep the file size small)

How does one set the time on the norns? Patterns saved on mine have the wrong time. Thanks.

norns 2 : is there somewhere the signal flow?
