Nice, this is cool.
I am absolutely positive I won’t be the first one who will open the schicksalslied.lua as poetry. While I lack those input devices, I am looking at adding norns encoders and/or MIDI cc and MIDI notes as input devices for navigating poetry loaded from a file.
Nice job, cool concept!

using norns encoders for navigating history is eminently doable. Let me know if you need any help with this. There isn’t a readily available on-norns way to select the line from history, since all 3 keys are already in use. But if you’ve got a midi button somewhere, that could definitely work! You’d just need to have the button trigger the set function. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with in putting that together. I don’t think it’d make sense as an update to the main script, but I’d be happy to help you fork it

This is wonderful, the six voices have a different personality each and some of them seem less polite than others, it’s aliiive
Still, I can’t seems to move above two lines moving up with my keyboard (it rememebers only the last two inputs)!
Anyway, lovely, lovely work

I dreamt of this as a sequencer concept a year ago, but never made something from it. I’m really glad to see you have made it take shape and am exited to dive in!

Wonderful concept! Eager to try it later today when in the studio. Just one thing in advance: would be possible to have MIDI out from the script??
Thanks!

maybe! I’ll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.
yes! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I was able to reproduce this bug, and I’ll get it taken care of as soon as I can.
edit: happy to report that this bug is now officially squished. Thanks again for letting me know about it @carlosbigne! You can delete schicksalslied and reinstall from GitHub to get the updated version.

I encounter crashes when playing with liedmotor synth params …
ooooo interesting! Thanks for letting me know. What sort of crashes are you running into? Some description of exactly what is happening on norns would be very helpful. And are you getting any error messaging in maiden when these crashes happen? I’d love to hear more about this so I can (hopefully) fix whatever the problem is
I love the concept—and will probably enjoy the sound, too, once I load it up.
I’m not sure norns would even support this, but it’d be rad to be able to send the lines of text being triggered out to a screen for live visualization. I imagine hitting a grid button and the corresponding line appearing on screen, building a sort of sound poem live.

this is one of the use cases I had in mind when creating this script! Norns doesn’t have native support for screen sharing, but there are a couple ways around that. My current method is @Dewb’s ndi-mod. I haven’t gotten to perform live with schicksalslied yet (I’ve only performed with various versions of krähenlied so far), but I hope to soon. The script’s visual behavior might not be quite what you’d expect (unlike lines entered with a keyboard or loaded from a file, lines called up with grid presses don’t persist on the screen; instead, they only appear on screen while the corresponding grid button is being held down, and they disappear once the grid button is released. I’ve found this to be the most useful approach for me, but if you’d like to create a fork where grid-called lines stay on the screen, I can show you what you’d need to change, just DM me). But basically: yes, you can do this.

The current behavior sounds useful, though the persistent text would be a nice option. I must admit I’ve never delved into changing any code on norns scripts, and though this seems like a totally doable endeavor, I can’t say I’d follow through with it with my limited bandwidth at the moment. But if I do start working on a certain project I’m thinking of, I will most assuredly reach out for your aid. I really appreciate the offer for assistance—not to mention this cool script!

One way would be to start a web server on norns (besides maiden) and connect to it with a browser

ok, it looks like crashes only when softcut reverb is on. thanks!
interesting. What does the crash look like? Specifically, what does norns do? And does any message come up in Maiden when it happens?

Ok the problem is caused by crow, it causes Norns to crash, not related to specific script.
The momentary display from grid text works great for my usage. Pressing Enter while grid pad(s) are held adds into history so it remains onscreen and accessible by arrow. Awesome to remix text e.g. “pad A” type Space “pad H” type Enter
Wow I love this script and the engines. The clips people have posted got me to finally buy shield and grid. And this script is most fun ever with midi fighter twister. (Well . . . since first using it to drive Madrona Labs Kaivo anyway 
)
Huge thanks to @WilliamHazard @alanza habitus et al. I’m just finding my way around norns, so a bit of overwhelm. But today had my first schicksalslied session and yummies! I’ve found my first norns instrument to master. Going to work on an electro-acoustic + Schick + Aalto set I think.

This script looks ridiculously inspiring. I love the concept and the idea of working text into a live performance. How marvelous.
@skein you made a wise choice I think

a very small update
let's call it version 1.0.2
While experimenting with schicksalslied and the new just friends firmware, I noticed that w/tape wasn’t reversing playback. And I realized that this had actually never worked. I just hadn’t noticed. Sorry about that. It works now. Looping functionality for w/tape is also improved. Check the GitHub link in the top post for the update. Let me know if you run into any issues. Here’s what it sounds like with just friends running through w/tape

I’m sure I’m not the only one using ChatGPT (all the rage this week, forgotten the next) to make poetry for schicksalslied.
I needed to intervene in the Maiden console with softcut.buffer_read_stereo(selectedfile, starter, 0, -1, 0, 1) after selecting another sound file; starter at some point had a value over 50 which I don’t know is intended. There might also be some interaction between the LFO settings; when I turn on a new LFO, an already running one changes somehow.
Anyway:
