I was hoping for a simple mod like adding a filtering cap somewhere. i’m considering to switch to a new more shallow case. due to space limitations i won’t be able to install 2 seperate bus boards. Moving it around is not really a solution. :thinking:
Does anyone have another idea to address this problem?

I’m likely going to build an o_C in 4U for a DIY Serge/CGS panel; I see that it’s pretty easy to mod the currently-available PCB for banana jacks, but I’m wondering if anyone has seen either and Eagle or KiCad file of the board? I can move stuff around myself if I can find one…
Edit: Found a PCB on Modular Addict!

Just a “Today I Learned” - Not sure if this is addressed in this long thread, but “Ornament and Crime” originates as a title in this essay: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornament_and_Crime

Great reference and name for a module, if intended.

I don’t have anything concrete since a) to my knowledge it’s not been a commonly reported issue (*) and b) it’s not a single diagnosable issue, but rather interactions between module and power/bus. So I doubt any simple mod will help, other than improving the latter. And if there were such a mod, I’d vaguely assume someone selling them might have made it already (yeah, yeah, assumptions…)

It doesn’t help that some screens emit physical noise as well, some louder than others…

(*) Which admittedly isn’t saying much about how pervasive it is…

i wonder if this usb adapter would work with the niftycase from cre8? i ordered a micro o_C with hemispheres pre-loaded. the midi built into the case should probably work fine but it would be pretty cool to connect the micro usb port on the module to the usb port on the top here somehow

i was kind of hesitant to go with hemispheres, just because i’m always sort of anxious about messing up firmware updates with new gear ever since i bricked an old es-1 a while ago. but does anyone know if there is a hemispheres alternative to the euclidean trigger that outputs envelopes in Piqued, an alternative to the Harrington 1200 Rienmann generator, and an alternative to Quadraturia lfo?

From what i can tell from the documentation, there is a shift register, there are normal (quad?) asr and ad generators, there is the lower renz but i dont know if there are any other lfo/modulation options, which was my original reason for buying this until i found out it had branches, burst and a turing machine. i assume i’ll just have to switch back and forth between firmwares but the less i have to do that, the better in my case

i want to be able to use euclidean trigs, multiple lfos, and maybe the reinmann chord generator without reverting back to the original firmware if possible. really any way to send 4 independent trigs or clock signals at once as a sort of tempi/pnw replacement would be good

This document lists every algo in Hemisphere Suite. You are not going to find full-blown replacements for any of those apps on the OG O_C. I go back and forth between them quite often and it really is a simple and straightforward process, FWIW.

ah thats what i thought. alright thanks. i actually printed that out but haven’t read through the whole thing yet

One thing to keep in mind; your CV calibration holds across both modules! So, the change is not going to goof anything up!

I’m losing my mind a bit trying to get Hemisphere installed.

With Method A, “Program” and “Operation” seem to be greyed out in Teensy Loader no matter what I do.

With Method B, “Next” is greyed out on Teensyduino’s installer. I’ve triple checked its version + the Arduino IDE version, including reinstalling from the links posted earlier in this thread.

Anyone know what I could be missing?

Drop the hex file on the teensy loader, connect yout teensy to the computer, and it should load autonatically. If not press the auto button on the teensy loader and then press the phisical button on the teensy.
You should see a upload progress bar on the teensy loader showing you the process.
Hope this helps.

Are you positive your micro usb cable transmits both data and power?

The cable!! Success. Thank you so much. :smile:

It’s those pesky cables!!! Don’t know why I have any that are power only in the first place…

I had the same problem. Some of those mini USB cables don’t have a data line! You can’t really tell by looking at them.

I shorted the power on my case a little while ago and it did something weird to my afterlater audio micro ornament and crime module. At first it was kind of freezing during certain screensavers and then jumping values in certain spots for certain parameters like lfo frequency. The recalibration I did seems to have fixed that for the most part, but now the right encoder is reversed. I thought maybe this is something I messed up during calibration since I don’t really know what I’m doing there and just went through the default settings but I don’t see that as an option in the calibration process. Any ideas for how I might fix that?

I’ve run into that issue also. You can find how to change that in https://ornament-and-cri.me/calibration/ under 0. setting encoder directions

I can’t find the CV option for Lfsr modulus in quantermain app. Can someone confirm or deny its existence? It’s mentioned in the manual, but I can’t find it.

I believe you have to click either button 1 or 2 for these options to then appear. Sorry I can’t test right now but pressing either of those buttons should bring up the additional options including the ones for CV

Buttons seem to transpose everything and do nothing else :frowning:

It may be long press. Could you try long pressing and see if that works?
