Thanks for the updates!

It’s there a way to know what version of Norms Mother you have installed currently?

#96

There is a way via terminal (ssh)

Use this command line:

apt show nornsmother

I think I found the solution to the Launchpad (and other midi/USB devices that not work on NornsMother)

Open the file /home/we/sidekick/post-patch.sh

Edit the last line with the correct midi client (28:0 for Launchpad Pro)
Default is 20 (most of the midi devices uses “client 20”) but other may use 24, 28 etc…

In addition to expressing thanks for this project, I really appreciate that load behavior on startup is ‘just’ a flag.

did that work for you? i tried this back when i first got Orac and it didnt work. Doesn’t seem to work with this either. Maybe i need to assign it to a device slot in norns first rather than just using it as a grid but i was under the impression that norns midi device slots were not relevant in aconnect

i also thought that maybe since only one instance of the launchpad seems to work on the norns side, (Launchpad 2) that maybe i should change it to 28:1 per aconnect ports but still nothing. i feel like the solution has to be in one of these small details, It can’t be this difficult to connect a different midi controller when every other type works

glad the menu played nice

#103

@Oxbown well done, thank you!

#104

hmmm not working for me for some reason :thinking:

#105

Unfortunately i couldn’t get this to work - just the dry volume increases. Not sure why, maybe its a firmware thing as i am not on the latest on Fates

#106

This made me smile - thank you

Are you using a raspberry 4?

#108

Sill getting a noticeable latency and some audio glitches running on my Fates RPI4. Is this normal?

Blokas amidiauto
It’s not perfect but they say that it works in most of the cases…

Amidiauto has a config file, for complex devices like Launchpad should be made a rule.

You can try this:

  1. Log in to Norns via ssh.
  2. Edit de amidiauto config file:

sudo nano /etc/amidiauto.conf

  1. Paste the following code (ensure that is the exact name of your device, in your case “Launchpad Pro”):

[allow]
Launchpad Pro <-> Pure Data

4. Save and exit. Use ctrl+X --> yes
5. Reload amidiauto service using the following code:

sudo systemctl restart amidiauto

Try this configuration opening a patch…

  1. Check the connection using the following command

aconnect -l

Post your results (works for me with my “Arturia BeatStep Pro”)

EXTRA:
There is a way to connect all midi devices automatically to Pure Data using amidiauto.

I’d highly recommend amidiauto.

the reason I didn’t ship it with sidekick, is I thought it was more something that should be installed as part of the FATES ‘os’ , rather than a 3rd party tool… as it obviously has quite ‘sweeping’ effects for any app that uses alsa midi

Yes, i’m using a Raspberry Pi4.
One issue causing the glitches are the levels in some of these patches is very high and it’s clipping but there are also glitches I think related to buffers which I haven’t changed

it’s not actually working for midi note in though. I might have to mess with it. right now, its connected from the launchpad via usb. there is a regular midi din out which i might have to use instead. this shouldn’t have anything to do with my norns midi device slots, correct? and i should not have to re-edit the sidekick>post-patch.sh to reflect the aconnect settings?

this is progress though. furthest i’ve gotten since i installed orac or nornsmother. props to blockas & oxbown & technobear. you guys rule

UPDATE: This worked. thanks to Oxbown
