I really love this script! it’s so inspiring… THANKS

I’m trying to mix several stems and I don’t if it’s possible to adjust pitch per track modifying speed not in octave multiple… ?

Question, is it possible to parameter map the tape speed/direction? if not, can it be made possible with a version revision’?

Thank you!

I just tried revisited Reels since updating to the latest OS version, and am now getting an error:init, with Maiden reporting:

script init

### SCRIPT ERROR: init

Looks like the same problem, and some potential fixes, up-topic?

Well, I am of course embarrassed to report that updating to the latest version has set Reels running - an obvious solution to the problem; thanks for reminding me.

After playing around with this for a while, I have two questions:

  1. Is there a way to manually scrub the playhead for a track or force it to the start of the tape? For example, I have two tracks that are the same length but I want to adjust the phase between them.

  2. At the top of the params there is a toggle for “active” or “background” that I can’t find a clear explaination of. Is it related to using it as a library?

Thanks!

Anyone able to help me with code to add a parameter for speed, track select and for the quality setting per track?

I was hoping to use a Beatstep to control Reels with the main knob as speed and then map quality and level and track select to the knobs and have buttons for play/record. Thanks!

Hello!

New with this script but can anyone please explain to me why all the tracks not starting in the same time If I want? They can not be in sync.

If I play track 1 and it is rolling in 4 seconds and I Stop there and insert track 2 then play again Track 1 will start from 4 seconds in make it not in sync with track 2 etc…

How can I set Track 1 from Start Point again and make it Start as the same time?

Hope someone understand me

Cheers

Reels is an asynchronous looper. The reels playing out of sync with each other is the expected behavior.

It would be nice to have a clocked option with this script. reels could get locked into playing the start of the reel on the next downbeat after keypress, and the length of the reel could be defined in bars.

For sync’d stuff you could try paracosms, timer/player, oooooo, waver, or cheat codes 2. Feel free to pm me and we can chat about how you want to use norns :slight_smile:

I don’t think the question is asking for a clock.ed mode Just a reset would be enough.
