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?

#363

@xeric there is a known wifi bug that we’re working on: https://github.com/monome/norns/issues/399

what’s happening is that sclang gets confused by the time sync jump when wifi connects, and it hits 100% cpu. after an immediate restart the time jump should be minimal, and the problem should not present itself.

the other way around this is to serial connect over USB, run stop.sh and then start.sh in ~norns/

or just use hotspot mode (which annoyingly means your laptop won’t be on the internet)

we’re hoping to get this fixed soon, it’s top priority

question (apologies if this isn’t the correct place) - has deleting files from TAPE directly via norns been considered? I think this could be a useful feature and didn’t see anything in git issues.

Speaking of tape recordings, I’ve also been thinking that having a quick interface to rename a file directly on Norns could be useful, especially if you’re generating a lot of little recordings to be used in your current session - I find myself getting lost pretty quickly. Maybe something like the interface that’s already in place for entering a network name in the system menu?

this is a good idea. TAPE has quite a list of features to be changed/added, i’ll add this

@Olivier renaming makes sense too

I’m still having this issue… Primarily with Kayan, but I have had it happen in I think Earthsea. It’s almost like a digital noise feedback loop that causes it to total crash and freeze. Anyone else have this happen?

#369

I have experienced these digital artifacts as well in Kayan and Earthsea. I have not been able to recreate it willingly

#370

The other crash I’m seeing is with MLR when trying to load samples from my tape recordings - is this a known issue?

#371

I had a few corrupted tape recordings, some zero-byte lengths and stuff like that. They were causing MLR and Foulplay to crash the sound engine. You might want to make sure the tape recordings are ok.

I locked my norns in a crash loop while working on maiden. A line of code made it freeze but hard resetting relaunch the bad code at startup and makes the Norns crash again :sweat:

I already submitted an issue on Github, but is there a turnaround in order to escape that loop?

#373

You can connect to your device by serial-over-USB:

On my mac, norns appears as /dev/tty.usbserial-AL04CN1O, which I can connect to using screen inside a terminal session:

$ screen /dev/tty.usbserial-AL04CN1O 115200

Then once you’re in (log in as user ‘we’ password ‘sleep’) you can find your script inside the dust directory and use an editor like nano or vim to edit your script:

$ cd dust/scripts/me
$ nano script.lua

(Or if by “working on maiden” you mean you were working on maiden itself, find and fix the code there.)

Then restart your norns (sudo reboot) and things should come back up as normal.
