Has anyone tried (and maybe even succeeded) connecting norns to the eduroam network? I’m not even sure if the network would allow me to ssh/use maiden with a hypotherically connected norns.

Hello!

Was curious if, when using SuperCollider, whether JACK was in use and whether it is possible to record multi-channel tape recordings. For instance, if I send all my outputs to a separate channel and also bus them all to the main outputs ([0,1]) as well.

Just got Norns, started the first study, made a file and realised that it was in the folder of an existing object which is untidy, went to delete it and somehow I had selected the code folder rather than the two line file that I was trying to delete. Not the best start, I’ve binned the entire code folder, oops.

Just ran an update hoping that that might re-up the folder but nope, still empty.

So, is there a default code folder I can grab anywhere or should I just make a new folder and re-populate it?

In fact, even a list of stuff that was in there would be useful, I can grab the projects off Git I think.

yes you can create a new code folder and repopulate. will put together a list of the defaults, but there shouldn’t be many dependencies. be sure to get the “we” project

Thanks for getting back so fast!

I’ve remade code inside dust and am grabbing stuff of Git, it seems to be really smooth throwing stuff on there.

I’ll grab we, I don’t think I had that one.

By the way, this thing is lovely and I can’t wait to get it going. Thanks for all the work you have put, and are putting, into it!

There’s a fair bit of Jack routing discussion here if you wanna take a look
Norns: development

(But not sure if that answers your question)

oh great, thank you!

Hey scott!

Yeah, norns uses jack

By default, the norns interface class ( Crone ) boots it’s own server:

So I guess that’s where you would add more server I/o channels?

And then you would have to manage jack connections yourself. And I guess manage whatever jack client recorder process

But tbh, it’s hard for me to see the benefit of this; since norns only has 2 physical outputs, it seems best to just do multichannel capture and mix down within SC
?

The documentation i found at: http://norns.local/doc/modules/arc.html (190801)and https://monome.org/docs/norns/script-reference/ both only list .enc as the event handler function.

a.enc doesnt seem to work where as a.delta does which i only found by going to another community made script.

Is there a better place to find documentation?

Hi Ezra!

Nice to see you online!
Yeah, I was mostly looking to just record stems during live performance. It didn’t occur to me to use s.record to do that on a Norns. That would be much simpler of course!

Thanks! (still working to obtain one but the Norns is kind of an ideal device :slight_smile:)

Nope, those are the docs and sorry if they are stale!

It is an ideal opportunity for a PR

This looks like a typo or leftover from an earlier beta perhaps.

As you found, the correct usage is a.delta(n, delta)

(Pull request submitted to fix the script reference page.)

Thank you. Sorry yeah I should have tried to update the document for the function. I was mostly unsure if I was looking in the wrong places. And I wasn’t sure if Delta was replacing Enc and the docs were out of dated or if enc was replacing Delta and the code change had not happened.

the same error was mentioned a few months ago, and it was quickly fixed. make sure you’re running the latest version of the orbit script, which you can get by pulling in a copy of the whole ash folder, as seen in the solution:

@tehn - do you happen to have a model/part number for the WiFi nub that ships with Norns? The one I ordered online was DOA.

Thanks that fixed it!

Is something like this strictly for midi clock sync? Or is this to also send midi notes and CC values to something like Ableton?

not strictly for clock, it’s a full midi connection. not only that it also has 4 separate bi-directional ports.

Cool. I’m going to be scoring a 2host from the creator of them, to allow for communication, but figured I’d ask around about what other measures there are, since I didn’t want to maybe miss anything. There are a few apps (such as Kris, Awake and more) that I wanted to send midi info from to ableton.
