ah, sorry my head is not really in the game right now.

yes, running a script also saves it. “running a script” currently requires loading a file from disk, compiling it and executing it.

i agree, it’s a little unexpected.

opened GH issue, please weigh in there if there are other thoughts (esp. @tehn, @ngwese)

Thanks much!

One small bug: If you create a new script in maiden and run it (which automatically saves it as untitled), clicking the pencil icon in maiden’s script list to rename it does not work, although the untitled script is selected. You have to click the untitled script in the script list first, then clicking the pencil icon brings up the renaming screen.

I really don’t know anything about git, otherwise I would file this bug on my own. Please, can somebody guide me thru the steps necessary to be able to file a bug in git? Or is it OK to post bugs here and hope that the norns contributors write the bug in git?

#340

the github docs are pretty decent.

https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-issue/

but really all you need is a github account:

https://help.github.com/articles/signing-up-for-a-new-github-account/

and with that, you can go right to the maiden issue tracker and open a bug.

feel free to PM me if you hit any snags; i’m also happy to open the issue for you if this gets onerous.

…the current behavior is far more finicky than it should be and there are interactions which produce reasonable but unexpected results. While opening issues on GH ultimately minimizes the work around capturing bugs - it is certainly okay to express confusion or describe behavior which seems bug worthy here.

Can norns already work with an arc, and are there already scripts using arc that one can learn from?

Not yet. @scanner_darkly ran into some problems with adding arc support. There’s a pull request that is a start if somebody wants to pick up the effort.

So I was playing with a script and I wanted to record the output to ‘tape’ (locally on the norns). I couldn’t figure out an internal audio “loopback” way to do this, so I did something seemingly unholy: I plugged the outputs into the inputs. It worked, but it still feels so wrong. Is there a way to record what is being played by a script to tape without resorting to what I just did above? Is this the canonical way of recording what you hear on your norns, back to your norns?

#345

@gmuller the tape always records anything that is getting passed to the outputs, so you shouldn’t need to do this cable loop. it’ll record the engine output as-is.

Weird @tehn , I tried that and got 4:36 of silence. I’ll try again this afternoon. I’ll look really silly if it works and I just did something wrong. Thanks!

#347

Well, @tehn I’m not sure what I was doing wrong the first time I tried it, but it seems to work. It was a little on the quiet side but thats probably my source samples. And yeah, I feel kinda silly now.

So this started happening frequently after playing MLR with midi sync enabled. Touching a button on the grid causes the screen to go crazy for a brief moment before staying like this

a very noticable high pitched noise is coming from the unit. The clock is very unstable and does fluctate on every step. Unable to restart the unit, i have to push the button under the unit.

any ideas?

#349

Yes, I’ve had this, it’s a bug since midi cc’s were enabled in the new firmware update - it has already been reported in the MLR thread

#350

I get that exact thing too!
Hopefully its sorted soon.

#351

working on this.

one thing to try is moving your midi and grid around to different USB ports. i can’t explain why but i’ve seen this change the behavior.

when I’m trying this it won’t delete my sample folder, says it’s a directory

#354

to delete a folder, you’ll want to add the recursive option. assuming your folder is called sample and you’re in the directory that contains it, try something like:

rm -R sample

but be super careful. there’s no undo!

I’m having issues with Kayan, when I start messing around with the parameters, I start getting glitching notes and noise. It then will slowly get worse and even seems to react to rotation of the encoders. Sometimes it will lock up and I have use the reset button. Other times I can switch to a different script and it seems fine. I am running the 180707 update. I have run into similar noise in other scripts once and a while, it seems like it’s when I start nearing the top end of certain parameters. Anyone else have this issue?

#360

And one more question: What are the largest integer numbers that can be used inside a script?

Norns: scripting
#362

I just bought a Norns used, and I’m getting a lot of crashes. I’m not doing any scripting, and have yet to do anything complicated at all really. I checked and I’m on the latest version [180707]

One crash that’s happening consistently, is I’ve joined my Wifi network, visited http://norns.local/ and tried to create a sub-folder within “Audio” to store some of my completed tracks from SoundCloud, so that I could remix them in MLR.

The first time the device froze when I tried to add the folder. I hard reset, and rebooted. I then had to go back into network menu to turn wifi off, and then switch it back on before I could connect to Norns again.

The second time, I was able to create the folder, but then as I went to copy over some files onto a thumbdrive, Norns was frozen again a few minutes later.

Any ideas?
