Grid support for passersby would be ace;)

And a badass one too!

Small update up that adds headings to params, copies the simple grid support from Molly and fixes a bug with long release notes getting cut.

This is such a lovely library, any chance you would add support for polyphony? (even just 2 voices)

Not without some major changes – it’s already at the performance limit. The engine is actually additive behind the scenes. There’s probably loads of optimizations to be had there but it’s not something I’m pushing on.

Thank you so much for the grid support!! Ahw…the very first “soft? Digital synth” i enjoy and feel.
If i would want to swap earthsea ash’s molly with this, how would i do it, edit out a block of molly kind of and edit in a block of passersby? I doubt its that simple

Blown away by your skill and taste btw, salute!
I ve one idea/request whatever :slight_smile: would it be an easy edit to allow midi out (note on/off) while actually playing passrsby with a grid? That way we could hit external things like another LPG

Glad you’re enjoying it! I think if you go through some of the norns studies you’ll find these pretty simple changes to have a go at.

really loving this synth for how beastly it can get as well :slight_smile:

This is with an OP-Z sequencing it and a simple bass tone Tdef running directly in the Maiden REPL.

And some more @markeats script love.

Totaly unseriously messing around with passersby awake feeding into a modified MI ears and finaly into a vactrol LPG brazilian drummer style :slight_smile: glad this instrument has worked out, i ve spent a lot of time on building it. Just need to replace the attack pot for a lower value the control is a bit messy as is.

First 1-2 sec are in vca mode so w/o the lpg cap filter

Wow! That is quite the sheild + grid build!!! What all do you have going on behind that panel? The ears circuit, is that as an amp to bump up to modular levels? Is it the envelope follower? Are your audio ins/outs fir the sheild re-routed?

that’s pretty rad man!

Here you go.

It took a lot of energy belive me…

Just noticed in this port the sound preset isnt saved with the sequences as Pset.
Just thought i mention in case it was unintentionaly skipped.

Certainly unintentional - to be quite honest i rarely use presets so i just hadn’t tested that part… Will try and take a look soon

With a new norns image i have no interaction between passersby and my grid 64 anymore. All other scripts i tried, automaticaly accept the grid.
Any idea what could be up there?

@markeats was sth changed between grid and passersby in one of the last updates?
I cant make connection between my 64 and this script anymore with most recent update.
All other scripts run fine

Working fine here, check your settings/params I guess?

Its really wierd, same for molly the polly.
Params show midi device 1 (none is connected) but no grid.

@markeats sorry to bother again and maybe this should be in the shield thread but, i amanged to get grid + passersby running again as soon as i was able to connect to wifi again.

But now i realize that with the new norns firmware, there is a wierd power / noise issue with passersby wich i suppose is based on its high cpu demand and happens also with the awake port.

When i drive from a chunky 3 ampere powerbank passersby makes a ring mod kind of distortion noise on note play every few seconds. This deosnt happen when wallplugged.
The noise fades in and out and really resembles a ring mod effect quite exactly but ofc is problematic.

Afaik this didnt happen with the older version of norns / passersby.
Any idea what i could do to use my powebank but fix the issue?

Sorry I really don’t have a clue on shield power stuff, I’m sure others on here do though.
