I was playing around with adding the option to have a different output for each track. I had a question about Crow and Just Friends (I don’t have either).

Is it possible to use both JF mode and CV mode in the same script? The reason I ask is because in JF mode crow.ii.pullup is ‘true’ and crow.ii.jf.mode = 1, but ‘false’ and 0 in CV mode. Does that mean I can’t have one track in JF mode and another in CV mode?

The crow.ii.jf.mode line is using Crow to put Just Friends into “synthesis” mode. This is necessary if you are using JF as a synth voice but should be set to 0 for normal use.

The crow.ii.pullup line is just setting the i2c pullup resistors, which is needed if you are using the i2c bus. (output == crow jf is, while output == crow cv is not.)

You can have this active(or not) while doing other things, like using output == crow cv outputs.

Ok, I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

Is there any way to get this going without a grid? It looks fantastic!

No. It requires a grid or a DIY grid. I have a version that works with a midi fighter twister, but I never updated it to Norns 2.0.

Hmm, if the midi fighter twister worked do you think I could get it working with a Livid Instruments Code?

I would expect so. Does it have multiple banks, like a twister? The twister is only 4x4, but you have 4 banks to switch between.

Take a look at my twister code for some ideas on how to adapt to it. (The code is still Norns 1.0).

Good luck! Looks like a great controller.

What about having the twister change to a different CC when you press down on the encoder. That way, you wouldn’t have to switch banks and could have both available at once.

I’m not sure I understand your suggestion. I used pushing of the knobs to implement mutes and locking of each track. Also for global clock pausing.

I would update the code to 2.0, but I’m not sure how many people actually have both norns and a twister.

Here’s a demo of how it works:

I misread what script this was for and spoke out of turn, regarding the Twister Fighter. This looks sweet though and now I want to give it a shot!

This sequencer is nuts! Just got around to trying this out, it’s so good to perform with. Would love the sequences locked to my loops and delays. Has anyone had the chance to look at adding a crow sync input?

New build up; @e041dd0. If I understand correctly how this works, updating from maiden should pull down the latest.

New:

  • Ping-pong playback mode per-track
  • Per-track playback mode indicators on screen
  • Screen redesign

I have a norns and twister and would be interested

Still having trouble getting crow to sync Quence. I tried to add the new beatclock-crow lib to try and get it to work but no dice.
@spunoza and @ground_state would one of you be able to have a look? Would be hugely appreciated!!!
Awake and Less Concepts have the beatclock-crow lib in there scripts if you need to find it. Hope you two can get it working!

Quence uses the new norns clock system, so you don’t need to do any extra coding to get crow clocking it.

  • Go into the parameter menu, and navigate to the clock menu.
  • Set source to Crow.
  • Clock input is input 1 on crow.

Thanks for posting that! Looks like my version wasn’t updating correctly. I can now see a change in the screen and crow clocks quence. I am noticing that quence is 1 bpm faster then PNW. I’ve tested it at different bpm’s but it’s always 1 bpm faster.
Another thing, can quence be reset by crow?
Or can it start when I start PNW?
I’m trying to get it in sync with the loopers on the 301 and some delays.

not at the moment, but it shouldn’t be a difficult add to, say use crow in 2 as a reset input. i’ll look into it.

maybe the reset input (crow in 2) could function as start if the sequence is stopped? i’ll have to think about this a bit.

edit: or maybe in 2 on crow could be a run input? gate high is playing gate low is stop? with only two inputs it’s difficult to decide what takes priority, starting on time or resetting lol

Just what I was thinking!
Crow input 2 would make for an ideal reset input. I also like the idea about it acting as a start sequence option if Quence is stopped.

Another thing I was thinking about was an option to have JF cycle voices (poly mode) instead of assigning a track to one voice. Not sure how complicated it would be, hopefully easy.
I’ve just having too much fun using Quence to sequence the OP-1, JF and two other sources like mangrove and plaits via the crow outs.

Also do you have any idea why norns would be 1bpm more then PNW?
It could just be a redraw error because it still sounds like everything is in sync. Still going to investigate a little more.
