its saying its already installed - I’m guessing you manually deleted files?
(really you should not do this, you should uninstall pkgs )

try

sudo apt-get install --re-install NornsMother

(as you had previously installed nornmother it should be in the apt-cache)

What was the error @swhic?
Did you try -f for force?

Remove might also whine too, if it finds things missing , again forcing it should work

It’s be a good idea if all patches are put in a sub directory - so that files in norns mother are not accidentally deleted.
Or perhaps put norns mother in /usr/local to avoid mishaps :wink:

#227

Not sure, no I didn’t. Remove solved the issue.
Maybe yes…:slight_smile:

Is there any script for norns, orac, mother that does Mode 1 from ct5 well?
Cant get it to react similar with the c25, i am mostly after the possibilty to feed live input and control pitch and tempo seperatly from each other with an unstepped sound… very nice for samples from timber. I do have a ct5 here right now and the pedal is about this function and mode for me. Any way to cheap out?

#229

I’ve been kind of afraid to update Norns Mother to the latest firmware because of the new patch directory issue and i kind of missed that whole conversation while it was happening. I am trying to piece it together by reading through here but i don’t think i fully understand what is happening.

Would anyone mind telling me the best way i can update Norns Mother without losing my patches. Or at least doing a clean update that won’t mess anything up and I can just copy my backup pd patches over from my laptop?

thanks

copy your PD patches from Norns to your computer.
Update Orac first, then update Norns Mother.
Copy your patches back, but put them in a different folder -> sidekick/patches/Organelle

New Update v0.3.2
Captura de pantalla 2020-05-01 a las 14.02.38

  1. Full Sidekick OSC support (NuiLite depreciated). Road to universal NornsMother (TTMother???.. :stuck_out_tongue:).
  2. New NornsMother look…
  3. More visuals
  4. A lot of bug fixes.
  5. “<–Main Menu” function now works (exits to SK menu)

Update via “Check for updates” on sidekick menu.
Source code files available on Github

This is a big change release so I need feedback.

I think ableton link is causing some issues with link enabled organelle patches. :thinking:

#236

just want to say thanks to oxbown and thetechnobear for putting together norns mom and sidekick to run puredata. I’ve figured out how to connect all the norns controls to automatonism via mother. Sidekick in VNC has been really helpful. I’m already running out of cpu. Will try midi out next.

This is how to get MIDI working in sidekick puredata, for anyone searching:

Hi, i have been out of the loop for sometime!
I have updated both orac and motrher and none of my patches on mother react to midi notes…orac does ?
Any ideas? I tried aconnect 20:0 129:0 etc… :frowning:
Odly enough the lemur template i made with the same organelle assignments work (eg i can launch the aux page and control control pots 1-4)
I just the midi notes…

#239

did you try connecting via terminal and using aconnect -l to make sure the 20:0 and 129:0 are the correct values to use?

#240

Thanks for awesome work. At the moment I use ORAC with beatstep pro.
I’m having trouble getting MIDI recognized by a korg minilogue :frowning:

Some questions:

  1. to switch between patches? i need press the combination but1 + but2 + but3? If so, a more
    comfortable method would be nice maybe by pressing the AUX botton.

  2. On Norns there is a cleaning function for all slots (But1 + CLEAR). Is the same expected on ORAC?

Thanks! (:

it seems that the Main Menu function to return to the SK menu does not work with all patches. the only boredom is to press the three keys each time. no solution???

#242

This is a Sidekick limitation, sorry! Same on changing between patches…

#243

I highly recommend using amidiauto, it’s really useful for making Midi automated connections. Linux is not Midi userfriendly, sometimes needs some work.
But you can make all the interconnections between PureData and “YourDevice” using aconnect commands.
