LFOs and Envelope Followers are planned for a future version, yes :smile: Would love to hear any UI thoughts you had – the goal was to add LFOs and Envelope Followers to all pedals in a flexible but not-too-complicated way

That sounds like a fun idea.
You mean like the new global clock functionality?

Envelope follower is definitely a good idea!
I totally have to re-read this thread first. Otherwise I’ll just go around asking questions that have long been answered already.

I’ll sit down and think about it!. I have a bunch of really busy days until Thuesday, then hopefully I’ll be able to get back to a more normal pace and switch on Norns again!

Yup! Exactly that! I know @Justmat has implemented lfos very well in his scripts specifically.

I’ve been using the Pedalboard a lot recently, I really enjoy it and the quality is superb (especially the Mi-engines)! Thanks a lot, 21echoes, for making this small box really friendly on my guitar-based thinking mind.

If I can send in two request to add pedals (I don’t know whether they are manageable though):

  • Something like the Retroactive Pedals Dot Chase/Mid-Fi Electronics Clari(not): it’s an envelope controlled vibrato/chorus/wow and flutter simulator with a one repeat delay. Would be great to have something like a tape warble that reacts to the input level.
  • Drolo FX has an interesting pedal called the Stamme[n]: it’s basically a delay type pedal with weird modes (stuttering, glitching, pitch, swell, random tempo, etc.). This one will probably be a challenge. :sweat_smile:

The Vibrato pedal should already do this! The “Expression” setting controls how much the envelope follower controls the vibrato amount. For the “one repeat delay” bit, just tack on a delay pedal after it in “Slapback” mode :+1:

Yeah! I have a stutter pedal in the backlog :smile: I think I’m going to work on multi-tap and varispeed delays first, but hopefully I’ll get to stutter some time soon!

I haven’t messed with the vibrato yet, as it’s normally not an effect I really use, but I’ll definitely try that! Thanks for the info😊
Really looking forward to that stutter pedal!

I know it’s not exactly a stutter, but the ability to map an envelope follower to clouds density control (either positive or negative from 50%) with a very short delay (position) will give an interesting similar effect!

Version 1.5.0 (f3a934c) now available! Should be available in Maiden’s project manager when your norns is on WiFi, or if you want a direct download: ZIP File

This release does nothing for everyone who was already on v1.4.2 and has manually installed dependencies for the Mutable Instruments-based effects (Resonator and Granular). What it does do is: for all newcomers (or those of you who haven’t installed the dependencies yet), Pedalboard can now install the dependencies for those two pedals for you!

When you try to use those two pedals for the first time, a little installer workflow starts up explaining everything, and you can basically just make sure you’re on WiFi then hit K3 until everything works (as the last step, hitting K3 turns off your norns, and on boot everything will work. I believe this is necessary because of how norns’ SuperCollider environment is set up). From there on out, those pedals just work like any other pedal :smile:

So yeah, big first-timer ease-of-use update, but a bit boring for everyone else… hopefully more changes coming soon! Still working on and off on varispeed and multi-tap delays, a few smaller fix-ups, some “how to use Pedalboard’s effects in your own scripts” write-ups, then hopefully LFOs and envelope followers :v:

Will this install the non pedal MI-Engines? (I.e. elements?)

#82

This installs the non-pedal Mi-UGens, but not any Mi-Engines. This basically just integrates the normal Mi-UGen install script into Pedalboard. We want to avoid any sort of UGen conflicts that may arise from the install processes diverging, as that can put Supercollider in a bad state. Engines, however, have no such conflict risk, so you can (separate from Pedalboard) install the Mi-Engines / scripts as usual and everything should just work

Version 1.5.1 (13496d2) is here! Available in the Maiden project manager, or here as a ZIP File.

This one just has a few little updates:

  • Fix a bug where Reverb and Ring Modulator would buzz very very loudly when tone was into the extreme HPF settings (~88% and above)
  • Switch Ring Modulator’s “Free” mode to using note names to dial in the modulator frequency, as opposed to a bunch of raw Hz values
  • Finer grain control: ever wanted to dial in exactly the right tone? Now you can! Most parameters now let you dial in down to the tenth of a percent, vs just a percent at a time
  • Small improvements for the new installer process: show a “shutting down” message when shutting down to complete the install of the Mi-UGens, and make it easier to tell which pedals are disabled because their requirements aren’t yet satisfied

Yeah I fired this up with my OP-1 and it’s been a blast for the last 2 hours. Thank you so much !!

‘error: init’ for me :frowning:

Did you just install? You’ll need to sleep your norns if so. Any script that contains an engine will require a sleep before you can use it.

I actually sleep it but it doesn’t work. I’ll try again !

unfortunately no way :frowning:

When you launch your norns, can you visit http://norns.local and you should see two tabs in the bottom right labeled “matron” and “sc”, with “matron” selected by default. Then, try to launch Pedalboard. When it fails, you should see a bunch of text show up in that matron tab the web browser. Could you send that text to me? Either via DM or here in the thread :+1:

Other things that others have run into:

  1. As @justmat said, sleep -> boot -> run again often fixes it
  2. Making sure your norns is up to date (system -> update)
  3. Making sure your Pedalboard script is up to date (http://norns.local then navigate to the library, and click “update” on Pedalboard. It should be at 13496d2 (right to the left of the “update” button))

EDIT: we DM’d and it seemed to be #2 – norns was out of date

Finally I’ve had a chance to give this a go, and it’s really well done. Great UI and great sounding, thanks @21echoes! Here’s some 0-coast, sequenced by 0-ctrl into Rings/Clouds:

Would be cool to see an open feedback loop in mono mode, with an ‘out’ pedal and an ‘in’ pedal that can be placed anywhere in the chain using the right channel for sends. Excellent work here!

just wanted to echo this sentiment from the Changes script thread:

would be really fun to use 8 lfos on rings/clouds

LFOs and Envelope Followers still on the roadmap! Other than a quick relapse to make Samsara, I’ve taken a bit of a break from norns coding to focus on some volunteer work, meditation, and family. I’ll be back at it before long, don’t worry! :smile:
