fixed steps to shift the tape speed so you can make pitched changes

I’m still really interested in the Quantussy aspect. - still not got any spare time to offer but if some appears then I’ll give you a shout. Feels like that would be a good use of the grid somehow (patching/routing)

This would be incredible :slight_smile:

How much speed adjustments is needed for this? Would be nice to have. Is it possible to adjust the startpoint of the tape?

to quantize to semitones just divide each octave by 12.

I just use the softcut command directly for setting loop length, there is also a loop start command.

softcut.loop_start(voice, value)
softcut.loop_end(voice, value)

A loop start param would be simple to add, and fun to play with. I’ll do it this morning.

Edit: @noiserock et al., I added the loop start param. re-download and replace, or git pull to update.

looking at the grid layout for cranes might be inspirational? I find it to be quite good.

Not all of the concepts map one to one of course, but there seem to be some shared analogies.

Anyone against me removing the “speed” and “skip” behavior options, on the edit page. For “loop start” and “loop end”? (speed and skip behavior options would persist in the params menu.)

Works for me, thanks @Justmat!

Any way to make a switch on param screen to choose between them?

that’s fine, it is kind of busy…:slight_smile:

yes. had an idea on porting the cranes grid interface to 64, but couldn’t find a smart way to do it. thinking I might start from scratch with Otis when I have the time.

Pushed another small update. Fixes some bugs with adding loop start points, and adds loop start to the edit page. re-download and replace/ git pull to update.

update 7.9.19

  • Maximum loop lengths, at speed == 1, extended to 1min.
  • LFO ranges increased from 0.0 - 1.0 to 0.0 - 25.0 (they get pretty fast now @mlogger)
  • Adds a param for exporting your buffers to Tape (really fun to save a buffer, then open it in mangl)

edit: just pushed a small bug fix with the exported filenames

Thankyou for the lfo extension :slight_smile:

On a side note, I saw this and thought of elements of Otis / Bounds, Mangl and Gemini as a possible separate script idea.
It basically steps through multiple modulation settings controlling stuff.
Stepping through vectors plots and shapes with an Arc controlling midi or an internal FM synth, granular app or effect which would be assigned to as many parameters a possible.
It’s reminded me of bounds in a way but done by frames a little bit like multiple Mutable frames but multiple destinations from 1 knob turn or random speed clock. More of a wacky sound design idea for quick twisting of sounds and seeing squares and triangles visually on the screen.

Loving Otis. Amazing work.

I second the idea of adding tap tempo (or some way to tempo sync). Would be super nice to tap the length for L and R separately in order to use it to play with others.

I’ve got a Norns on the way and just discovered this! I’m so much more excited now! Well done @Justmat I’ve been really admiring your contributions to he Norns platform and this community and really enjoying your recent music too

Finally had some time with Otis yesterday. resulted in two small experiments. Guitar through FX and OP-Z.
