Im definitely ‘sitting at the back with the rafia’ with some of these complex scripts. but diving in and seeing what you get is also rewarding. Some you break through, some not.
yes also in awe of the coders on another level.

wondering…is this something that OOOOOO could do?
or would this have to be an entire script of its own?

that is very very cool. there is a lot going on in that pedal! oooooo can’t do much of that…there’s not a lot of loop<->loop communication going on so you can’t use one loop to transform another. its a really cool idea though. i think its moderately difficult, but it would be cool to script up something that has two channels that modulate each other’s pitch/filter/effect based on their volume.

hey ya!
got a couple of questions…

so i am going control crazy assigning a horde of parameters using a FaderFox PC12.

so…when i make changes to the LFO (amp, period, offset) affecting Vol the selected loop jumps all over the place.
is that normal?

also…i either forgot or missed the memo.
i can’t select the odd numbered loops without it also selecting (highlighting) the even numbered loop.
however…i can select the even loops individually.

thanks for any help!

yes…the lfo is a sine wave calculated from time=0, so changing the period and offset can cause huge deviations from its current position. if you’re looking to add lfos to the lfo…things can get pretty much more random-seeming.

ok you might be stuck in a new mode added! can you go to choose mode from parameters and choose default? that should be you back at normal. if that doesn’t work, check each loop X and see if the sync tape with parameter is set…it sounds like the loops are synced together. (this is a feature not a bug…for stereo mode you can sync two loops and hard pan them :slight_smile: )

that was it!
:crazy_face:

was wondering…
could the docs for the script get updated with all the new features?
i went there as a first step but couldn’t find the answer. :slight_smile:

with so many scripts these days it’s getting harder to remember all those details. :stuck_out_tongue:

thanks again for the help!!!

First, I love this script. I got a Norns for no other reason (the other really cool scripts are icing on the cake). I’ve paired it with an Akai Midimix to have access to lots of parameters at once and it’s a blast!

However, some questions.

Is there a way to limit the range of the rate adjustment? So instead of going to -400% to 400%, could I limit it to say -100% to 200%? And could I make the increments of change smaller within that range, so maybe 5% increments?

I might be wrong but I believe in the mapping section of Norns you can now set the range of values for a midi controller.

Hey, not sure if I am missing something here but does having a loop set to reset ever x beats, mean the random loop length parameter has no effect? Could you jump around a loop whilst still keeping it locked to a set number of beats?

1 Like

Correct, the Reset Every X Beats feature will effectively lock a loop length but your loop could be longer than the reset window. It could be shorter too, actually, but then you’re going to get double-starts, which could be cool.

You could totally move through a long loop in chunks with this feature, it’s super flexible and unique.

also…you could check if your controller will set range limits as well.
i do that on the PC12 by setting the lower and upper ranges for the knobs or buttons.

Nice yeah I’ve never seen the ability to do that anywhere, could be fun! Not sure if others would find it useful but would love to try it, if it’s not too hard to add?

It’s already a feature, unless I’m mis-understanding. I had / have some plans to expand the MIDI capabilities of the Reset Every X Beats feature so that it works a little better when clocked to other devices but it totally works today, fire it up and try it out! You can just use the internal clock in the Norns (I do this all the time).

It’s such a simple feature but it really adds a layer of flexibility that you can’t get with other loopers and I love it. Have been too busy having fun with oooooo and playing music to actually make the changes I want to make but that’s more of a testament to how amazing the script already is :sunglasses:

Sorry yes I see now was being silly! you mean by setting it to ‘loops’ for randomise on reset right? Which is set to the internal clock? I think it’s because i was trying to do it from the all loops section. Yeah so amazing!

this might be most easily done by changing the script. its actually only one line of code you need to change:

change those values to whatever ones you want to iterate through, at whatever increment you want. you can change the code by editing the oooooo.lua script in maiden.

edit: actually you should edit two lines. edit this other line to make sure you start at 100% rate (currently that’s the 15th number in the list of rates, so its number is 15):

Sounds like maybe either I misunderstood your original question or you found a cool new way to do something, but I was talk about using the Reset Every X Beats function of an individual looper to reliably loop a section of a loop. Say a loop is 25 beats long (or whatever that is in seconds for your given tempo) and you set the loop reset length to 7 beats, you should be able to move the start time of the loop around and get a reliable reset point and essentially loop small parts of a loop but at a fixed length without having to trim the end of the loop. I’m gonna experiment with this a bit, it’s a cool idea!

Sounds like maybe you found something cool as well :sunglasses:

Hey! First post here! Pretty new to Norns in genral, but i picked one up for this script and i absolutely love it, exactly what i needed. i have it mapped to a midi controller and it is very fluid for composing.

I plan to be using this “live” (its a livestream, but still need to perform on the fly) and i need the ability to load in 1-6 samples quickly as the compositions dont allow for recording them on the fly or to do a ton of menu diving. is there a way to setup loading sample to specific loops via midi? or to load a “project”?Or if there is not, does anyone have a workaround or have and sort idea for this? im used to just changing a tape live when i need to change a sound, but obviously cant do that here!

Edit:
I just realized presets within Norns allows you to more or less accomplish this…maybe not by applying them to buttons on a midi controller, but its still fairly quick!

Hi there, I have problem with saving loops, for some reason I don’t see save/load menu in “A” screen, only tape, pause LFO’s, rand pars, rand loop and rand lfo. I have norns shield, firmware is up to date (210114), and I’ve update base and community in maiden before installing oooooo (v.1.5.0). What else can I check/do?

worked perfectly! Thanks @infinitedigits :grin:

Since a last update you will find it in the EDIT menu, under Save/Load :wink:
