Setting up Duplex (Renoise 3.0)

Not sure what is the problem, looks like something’s wrong with the code in Duplex scripts.

Hey, I’m maintaining the Duplex tool. Just registered here to let you know that I was made aware of this NIL issue, and that it’s being taken care of.

The instructions you provided for serialosc were very handy btw. Had forgotten where this sneaky .conf file was located…

Hey, thanks for fixing that and letting us know!

Phew, it has been a busy last couple of weeks !
But I finally managed to take a fresh look at Duplex yesterday, and came up with a fix for the ‘NIL’ error.

You can grab the tool from here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0XQ8SxsnmZKZnU5RVpVbTVRdWM

To install, drag the .xrnx file over the Renoise application and select one of the monome configurations from the application menu
Tools > Duplex > Monome > …

Next, click ‘Settings’ in the tool dialog and specify the port, prefix from there.

Note that it’s an alpha release which contains additional code for tracing/debugging. Assuming that the fix is working, I will then release a ‘clean’ version (as always, the full source code is on github)

Also, I added a few instructions for windows users like me who prefers to run serialosc with fixed ports:

github.com

renoise/xrnx/blob/d5a5b1304d88714ef43375e17625641b784c8b45/Tools/com.renoise.Duplex.xrnx/Duplex/Controllers/Monome/README.md

# Monome128

The monome grid can be a relatively tricky controller to get running - this README tries to answer some of the more common questions.  

## Port, IP and prefix

By default, Duplex is configured to use the following settings:

    IP Adress   127.0.0.1
    Input port  8002
    Output port 8082
    Prefix      /duplex

Duplex does not detect the monome automatically - you have to make sure that these settings are valid. Read about how to create a 'fixed-port' configuration below. 

## Using serialosc protocol

Serialosc is the standard method for communicating with monome devices, and the default option in Duplex. If you are not sure if serialosc protocol is enabled in Duplex, check whether Monome.lua contains the following statement: 

    self.comm_protocol = self.SERIALOSC
