#1409

cool. i’d love to start getting PRs on crone and as you say this is a pretty simple add.

i misspoke, you shouldn’t need to add new busses per se, just mix points. still, a few steps:

  1. add smoothed level object(s) to control tape->cut, tape->ext
    [ https://github.com/monome/norns/blob/master/crone/src/MixerClient.h#L89 ]

1 (b) . maybe initialize them to unity gain
[ https://github.com/monome/norns/blob/master/crone/src/MixerClient.cpp#L209 ]

  1. apply levels and mix tape bus to cut, aux input sinks (if tape is playing)
    (oh look, there’s a FIXME)
    [ https://github.com/monome/norns/blob/master/crone/src/MixerClient.cpp#L48 ]

probably also want:
3. add level commands
[ https://github.com/monome/norns/blob/master/crone/src/Commands.h#L40 ]

  1. add IPC glue on crone side for those commands:
    [ https://github.com/monome/norns/blob/master/crone/src/OscInterface.cpp#L309 ]

  2. finally add lua / IPC glue on matron side. (weaver.c, oracle.c)

Is it possible to connect to wifi using any usb wifi adapter, or only the one that ships with the device? I recently purchased a norns second-hand, but the seller forgot to ship the wifi dongle. He corrected the mistake, but now I have to wait a few more days for it to arrive. Wondering if I should go pick one up in the meantime so I can get started adding scripts.

Alternatively, is it possible to add scripts to norns via the serial connection method?

#1412

All/most of them should work, (probably even better than the included one as long as the one you get doesn’t have a Realtek chipset).

Hello - New Norns owner. Very much enjoying the experience. However…I accidentally deleted the audio folder in maiden with the .wav files packaged with the OS. Can anyone point me towards the samples so I can download them and reinstall? Thank you.

#1415

Ha, yeah. I started poking at the .tex file but my TeX-fu is not nearly strong enough.

#1416

Cool, thanks!

Sorry if I’m being obtuse, but how do I know if it uses a Realtek chipset?

You should google the name and search for the spec sheet.

#1418

Just ordered a norns, super excited

I’m looking for some more info on the screen, namely if there are equivalent hex values for the 16 levels of grayscale. Would be nice to start sketching out some ideas.

Apologies if this is readily available info somewhere, I haven’t managed to find it in the docs.

an equal spread from white to black should be pretty close!

Having an interesting issue with my norns at the moment. Upon booting up today it gave me an error init so I decide to do a reset in the system settings. Boot it back up and same issue. Except when I try to load any script it gets stuck on “loading…” So I go into maiden to see what’s happening and its not throwing any errors.

anyone ever have this happen? Guess I will try a hard reset now.

*edit - Hard reset did not fix it. No audio will pass through norns currently and won’t load any scripts.

#1421

also check the SC tab in Maiden as well.

#1422

The sc tab is empty. I think maybe because Norns never actually gets past loading. This is a bummer. The last script I added was orbit. I’ll ssh in and remove that and see if it helps. Although I had ran Norns a few times without any issues after installing that script

#1423

I had to remove Orbit. Same thing happened to me yesterday

Correction - it was Orbital I had to remove

with orbital still installed, try doing ;restart from the SC REPL and you should get some debug

It might be an engine thing where the engine is not actually compiled (and thus throwing an error) until norns gets restarted

#1425

Ah it was definitely orbital. After deleting it and rebooting I’m all set again.

#1426

Tracked this down for anyone who sees this again…

the 1505Drums.sc engine in Orbital alpha2 is throwing an error on compile (when norns restarts) which then basically keeps supercollider from properly launching for any other script.

I’ve already noted the error in the orbital library thread.

NOTE - the master branch of orbital seems to work just fine.

EDIT - looks like orbital has now been updated to fix this problem

New happy af norns user here.
After a couple of days messing around with sound generating scrips, today I wanted to try some sound processing: using a minijack-jack cable I ran my computer output into norns L input. Unfortunately all i can hear is a low volume, distorted pass through audio with every script. My “input” meter is not moving. I tried scripts like Otis or Cranes and they don’t detect any audio input.
In audio settings input is set on 0 dB.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks :slight_smile:

#1428

I’ve had trouble with certain trs cables. Are you running a mono cable into the left input? I thought Norns had balanced inputs but most cables with two rings that I’ve tried have not worked and produced a problem similar to what you described
