i could be wrong, but i think it’s just a property of the wifi adapter (need dual-band device to go on 5g, and the default nub is probably not that fancy)

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere, but I’m struggling to keep up with all these threads: I’ve written a subclass of CroneEngine that I’d like to use in my scripts, what do I need to do in order to get Norns to recognize this class so that I can access it via engine.name = “MyEngine”? I’ve put the file defining the engine in /dust/lib/sc with a filename matching the other Engines, but I assume there’s more to be done?

edit: There was actually nothing else necessary, Maiden just didn’t initially like it for some reason. After reloading Maiden, the engine was recognized and is working now.

#193

@ngwese can elaborate but note that in a related way, you need to explicitly re-load lua modules that you’ve redefined once they’re loaded. (there isn’t currently a neat way to do this from within maiden though there is an issue tracking the idea; anyway, as @zebra pointed out elsewhere there’s a hack that mostly works; i’ll update that bug with some details.)

#194

does restarting matron with stop.sh / start.sh also achieve the same result? i was editing lua files, uploading them via sftp and then rebuilding norns / restarting matron this way and iirc this did pick up changes.

#195

yes. FYI start/stop also restarts crone (supercollider) which is necessary unless you’re recompiling the sc class library with a command

just to clarify

@x2mirko it sounds like you’re talking about reloading changes to SC classes (engines.) this means 1) relaunching sclang (from ssh session), 2) using audio.restart() module function (which may still be a little wonky, sorry) or 3) just rebooting.

@ppqq is talking about reloading changes to lua modules that were included via the require lua function. this means 1) relaunching matron from ssh session, 2) using an “unrequire” hack like package['modulename'] = nil, which works fine or 3) rebooting.

running ./stop.sh, ./start.sh as suggested will stop and relaunch both processes, and also re-map their I/O to websockets for use with maiden.

we must spend some time unwonkifying the audio restart functions (better after 1st update but i still get occasional weirdness) and making maiden more useful for editing SC.

not super important question about usb flash drives:

when I insert a 64gb drive (formatted fat-32 that works great for syncing), the norns menu still shows “disk free: 2.0G” next to “SYNC >”. Does norns only utilize onboard storage for things like tape recording in levels (and transfers to off-board storage when manually doing so in the sync menu)?

#198

the 2.0g refers to the internal storage.

right now the TAPE only targets the internal storage. it’d make sense to add a setting to the menu to specify an external drive for TAPE

That’s be awesome! In addition, I think being able to access audio in general on external storage would be a beneficial enhancement. I’m thinking along the lines of being able to load in large sample libraries. In other words, being able to access audio without having to sync between the external media and the internal storage.

Note that I’m handwaving off any sort of difficulties with performance or what not that might have as I don’t really know much about this stuff :slight_smile:

Sorry if I missed it, but is there a “factory reset procedure?”
Was messing around with tape speeds on mlr, and somehow the inputs are stuck in an aliasy ring mod type sound, it persists after sleep and restarts. figure something went a little funky, and can’t find a way to get it back to normal.
Thanks!

#201

Hmm…that happened to me once as well, though I can’t remember the context clearly enough to file a reproducible bug report.

I think I just used the small reset button on the bottom of the device and that brought things back to normal.

I believe I tried the button, and it didn’t solve it. Will try again and see if I missed something. Thanks for answering though!

While waiting for my norns to be born: How does one connect USB controller (e.g. Korg nanokontrol2) to engine parameters using Lua?
