Bit of a MIDI problem I can’t seem to solve. I can get Norns to work as a midi master clock to Ableton Live (@Justmat’s foulplay works fine if I set it to send midi clock out to Ableton), but I can’t seem to make it work as a midi slave. If I set it to external clock and use Ableton as the master, it won’t work. Using a Roland UM-ONE.

Similar problem, I can send midi clock from my norns, but when I try to make foulplay send midi notes to channel 1, Ableton doesn’t recognize it. Are there some settings in either Ableton or norns that I have wrong somewhere.

I tried searching the topic for specifics, but can’t really find any solutions to what seems like a simple problem.

I know it isn’t much help, but I was just able to send clock and midi notes to Ableton Live 9 from Foulplay. I don’t own an UM-ONE, but for what it’s worth, I was using one of these.

#689

(this is not a super well informed question - i don’t really use MIDI - but something to check)

is it possible that UM-ONE exposes multiple ports, and that ableton is choosing a different one for clock out than it uses for clock in? sounds weird but i dunno.

supporting multiple ports is a known issue, a fix will happen, but could take a couple different forms, and that decision is related to other decisions in the pipeline.

Oddly, I was able to get midi out to Ableton to work by making sure that my UM-ONE was the #1 MIDI out device in the norns menu, but that still doesn’t let me externally sync to Ableton. I’ll have to keep playing here. Nothing boosts creativity like device interoperability issues, amiright.

Apropos the missing file at norns-image/config/bashrc in the 181101 update, are there any changes to the existing April 18 timestamped .bashrc file we should be aware of?

#692

it’s just a modification to the command prompt display to show up address instead of hostname

I would love this. I would also like some feedback when I stop a recording - it just disappears and I don’t think I’m successfully stopping them all the time - some of the tape files are way longer than I think they should be.

Also - huge thanks to everyone who has worked on norns - it’s such a great machine - I love it.

norns’s documentation says “Use the cable and power supply provided.” (for charging norns’s internal battery).

Is it safe to use any other non-broken USB cable for charging, or does it have to fulfill certain criteria (if yes, which)?

#696

Is there information on using HID with norns? I did a supercollider tutorial where you controlled x and y values with a mouse and was wondering if it’s similar. Also found this, but Brian mentioned a norns HID class, so I’m not sure if it’ll work: http://doc.sccode.org/Guides/Working_with_HID.html

Once MIDI controllers are set up while using a script, are they persisted? Don’t have any knob controllers to try with yet.

EDIT: Nevermind - I see in one of the videos that assigning a CC value presents a save/load menu.

low-quality or extra-long USB cables may suffer from voltage drop if the wire gauge is very low. generally this isn’t a problem, but with very high current draw the cable could heat up a bit. the cables we ship are very high quality.

i regularly use other cables without issues, however. but it’s important i disclose this possible issue.

@Jonny there is a lua HID class that hasn’t been updated to the new device discovery system. we’re working on it.

Thanks! I’d like to buy a shorter cable than the one supplied with norns. Is there any specific “key word” or manufacturer I should look for when browsing online stores to make sure I get a suitable cable?

Hi,

i have a first generation 128 (external ps, walnut enclosure)
I’m assuming this will work with norns, but wanted to double check before ordering.

thank you.

this took me a long time to get around to but the wifi nub still doesn’t work. when I try to serial in I just get a cursor and can’t type anything. any ideas?

#702

Hi All - norns arrived a couple of days ago - and so the journey begins, and having much fun with it - working my way through the studies - as not a coder. A quick question if I may, re the behaviour of the key - specifically key 3 but I assume they are the same. I extended the study 1 exercise to randomly set a new frequency on each key 3 press but I noted I’m getting 2 sounds - 1 for the down press (and if I hold it - the frequency selected stays the same) and 1 for when I let go - the up press if you like. Getting the frequency to print out, and that confirmed the ‘2’ sounds - so is this what we would expect? - just checking.

Sounds like it’s working as expected. If you only want it to change on a “down press”, it’s an simple change/fix.
To filter out the release of a key, you can check for the state in your keys function.

function key(n, z)
  if n == 3 and z == 1 then
    do some stuff here
  end
end

z is the keys state, and will be either 1 for pressed or 0 for not pressed.

Excellent - thanks for tip!

I’m trying to implement ratcheting for Kria Ack script, is there any simple solution for delaying note? using os.sleep seems to pause execution of rest of the script
