I can’t believe I’m stumped by this but can someone spell out the steps for achieving sending MIDI from norns over wifi to Ableton on OSX? Try as I might, this is eluding me.

Can’t do midi over WiFi.

#1831

Ugh…well, that would be my issue. I was so convinced WiFi was possible. So my only MIDI out option from norns is hardwired with a USB-to-DIN interface, correct?

#1832

you can send osc over wifi, which could easily be converted to midi with a tiny max patch (or similar)

Thanks @tehn. Would there be any existing m4l modules for osc to midi? (I’ll start searching as well)

USBmidi to USBmidi (between computer and Norns) can be done via my 2host or the savillasoft usb host adapter.

(Or 2 usb to din adapters, or the iconnect midi devices I think)

I’m curious if there’s a tutorial for OSC to midi over WiFi in Max. Might be a cool way to get my head around protocols. It would also set myself up to create midi interfaces using a grid while traveling.

Is it possible to use maiden without wifi? I was wondering what was possible to do via USB, I can SSH using

screen /dev/tty.usb 115200

I noticed the start.sh maiden script, serving via port :5000 but I’m not sure how I can actually access it. Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

  • I don’t necessarily need to use Maiden. I just need to see the logs of the running lua script so I can fix it.

screen gets you in via the USB-UART connection.

if you want to see the matron console (which is the lua portion) you can do this:

systemctl stop norns-matron
cd norns
build/matron/matron

now you can type commands into matron and see output from matron. there’s no readline in there so it’s very basic, but it works.

if you want to do side-by-side editing plus matron in one terminal you’re need to use tmux or similar.

also— if you’d like to dig in, @zebra originally wrote an ncurses maiden which ran on the command line. the web maiden “obsoleted” this, but i still think it’d be useful to revive: https://github.com/monome/norns/tree/master/maiden

i think it just needs IPC to be changed over to WS.

#1838

it also needs to not be janky as heck. ncurses is weird

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

i like the vibes, but iirc some stuff is borked with switching REPL pages

Question regarding the scaling on the encoders – I’ve noticed in recent usage if I turn the encoders too fast, the value I’m adjust either goes too slowly or actually jumps oddly in the opposite direction. I don’t think I had this problem before the encoder ‘fix’ that went in a while back. Is there anything I can do to make the encoders respond differently?

@Jonny email help@monome.org and we can get them fixed

Hello.
I’m curious to know if there’s anything I can do to sync Norns with my Digitakt. I can easily sync the OP-1 via a usb cable, but when I try to integrate the Digi in that way nothing seems to happen.

#1845

can you describe how you’re connecting the norns and digitakt?

#1846

To connect a few of these things, such as my iPad and the Norns, I use a 2host by @okyeron

I know there are other options as well, but this one has worked well for me!

Could be a script problem? What scripts are you trying?

Also when you say “sync” do you mean clock sync? If so which way?

Does the Digitakt show up in SYSTEM>DEVICES>MIDI on norns when you plug it in with a usb cable? If so, what “slot” is it in?

FWIW the 2host mentioned above would not be what you need here since the Digitakt should be a normal usbmidi device, not a host.
