Are you running the latest firmware? Can you connect to maiden and paste the error output here?

#115

Yeah, it’s the latest firmware.

Just rename your script folder from reels-master to reels and it should sort it out :slight_smile:

Thanks, and sorry I’m new to this stuff. Just finished my Norns Shield build last night!

Hey there!
I have problems with saving presets since I installed the new version of the Norns system.
First I had to reinstall Reels 'cause the older one didn’t work anymore, then everything was fine beside the presets savings.
Any clue?
Thank you for any tip!

#120

@its_your_bedtime it may be me… but I can only seem to play loaded samples on track 1 (not 2,3,4). It’s the first time i’ve used this script so it’s very possible I’m missing something. Excited to dive in though, this is exactly the kind of thing that got me into norns.

EDIT: actually I can load samples on tracks 1 and 3. Perhaps this is expected behaviour.

#121

First of all, thanks @its_your_bedtime for this great script. :orange_heart::orange_heart:

I don’t own an OP-1 but I would love to!!
Meanwhile, I thought I could use my little Casio and Reels to make something similar…(not really)

Since the latest Norns update (on a diy norns shield) I get 'error: init" when trying to run Reels :frowning:

Tried deleting and re-installing but no joy

Here’s what I see in Maiden:

from Norns: update 201113

deprecated
for scripting, mix is deprecated. please use:

params:set('output_level', value)
params:delta('output_level', delta)
params:get('output_level'

lines 374 and 804 of /code/reels/lib/libreels.lua should be changed from
mix:set_raw("monitor", rec_vol)
to
params:set("monitor", rec_vol)

maybe more after that, not in front of norns

Ughh. This is why I never update anymore. Shit always gets broke

quick correction, these param addresses all end with _level, so monitor_level, etc

looks like a fix already got in, threw up a PR with correct syntax, should be only a little bit before reels is up and running again :slight_smile:

things like this are usually resolved quickly, and should be expected every now and then with so much continued active development taking place. plus, even if you don’t have a background in coding it’s a good exercise to try to troubleshoot things like this using maiden output and going from there. (I accidentally “liked” this post and can’t undo it for some reason)

I’m performing next month and was planning on using reels as a live looper and I’ve noticed sometimes when I record a loop it makes the end point - whatever number and it kind of glitches.

Is there anyway to keep the start and end points consistent and not have it change after recording to a track?

#129

hi @its_your_bedtime wondering if it’s possible to allocate a specific 60 sec chunk of a sample in reels rather than the first 60 seconds? would be nice to be able to choose a desired segment from a longer pre-existing recording

was wondering if it’s possible to add end of splice gates for each of the 3 reels for crow outs 1-3? reels is my favorite script and i think this would lead to some interesting/useful synced events with the modular :slight_smile: or if anyone knows of any other scripts that implement this behavior, i’d be happy to mess around with it. thanks

I’m having an odd issue: Trying to record from Nintendo DS into Reels, it monitors at a reasonable level but the recorded result is super quiet/barely there. Other stuff, (eg tried a casio keyboard) using the same 3.5mm cable for the input, records onto the reel fine and plays back at the same volume at which it monitored. All levels are set to 6db in the params and unity in the main Norns levels page

#132

one thing that comes to mind is that L+R are summed on record to reels (and most other softcut scripts by default, since softcut voices are mono.)

is it conceivable that the DS source has phase inverted on one channel? should be easy to test at least.

… in fact i guess according to that hypothesis, you would get cancellation on the monitor path by setting monitor mode to mono in the system audio parameters.

ooh good to know. Could well be the case especially since I’m using some oddball unfinished DS music software ROM. Will test it with a stereo to dual-mono cable, thanks!

EDIT: OK yes that fixed it. Split the signal to mono and it records fine :slight_smile: Will test some other time if it’s an issue with the DS as a whole or just that particular ROM
