To elaborate - couple of use cases where this would be useful when timed stuff is of some relevance, without wanting to leave the norns system or just manually trim samples in Sam or other scripts (timing’s tricky as soon as a sample goes beyond a few bars, milliseconds count and can be hard to get right) -

So I could record a few loops. Move them straight into @markeats awesome Timber without bothering about the time stretch algoritms and take it to town, clip launch style, by help of Timber’s quantize feature.

I could take my loops, go into @dan_derks lovely cheat codes (known locally here as the Octatrack’s funky cousin) and have them loop in perfect sync, then using the pattern editor and meta sequencer to do all kinds of crazy stuff, but in time.

I could record one bar loops and use them in @mattbiddulph Beets, the one script that made me finally stop missing my Tempest and its beat fx. Might require me to file transfer between sessions, but hey - it’d be worth it.

To mention just a few.

This is a great idea! :partying_face:

I’ll see what I can do. :sunglasses:

You, sir, are amazing for even considering it.

If it helps, I could send you vids from my Blackbox workflow. I think they nailed it on this one. It’s flawless. If you ask me, that is :slight_smile: :innocent:

This is not a feature request :upside_down_face:, but in the nineties, on akaï samplers, starting a record with just a threshold level was pure magic.

What do you think about a fast autonaming algo, maybe naming the first sample of a session and after that its auto-completed with digits? Just a quick save yes/no and automatically being in record mode again. For intense sample sessions this would be such a help.

I can see how that’d be useful. Let me think on it and I’ll try to implement something :slight_smile:

My samba is inconsistent and i think its time to use norns more like a true sampler thanks to your script. Nothing like an evening with needles on wax time traveling and collecting artifacts from another era.
