I’ve been noticing that if I go to params to change the scale, returning to “sines” gives me a blank screen. Also had some weirdness/crashes when changing too many of the note values. I’ve had some weirdness generally with my norns shield so I’m taking everything with a grain of salt, the changing scales issue has been consistently repeatable (never worked for me).

I’ve pushed a change which hopefully fixes the scale/root note midi map issue. pick it up from maiden.

It’s also possible to now choose the root note from a midi keyboard, but in my limited testing, this only worked when i had a midi keyboard as device 1. I can’t explain why this works with keyboard as device 1 only.

@renegog very wierd that you can’t use the root/scale stuff. can you try this latest version please?

any errors in maiden? please try the latest version.

Hi @Oootini,

the error is gone. Great. I can map scale modus and root note.

But still there is no visual feedback for the volume though the midi control actually controls the volume. Only if I then move e. g. the attack slider (I have mapped volume, attack and decay right now) the screen switches to the current volume bar but the volume bar itself only moves if I use the encoders.

Am I the only one experiencing this behaviour? A problem of fates?

Let me know if I can do anything to help.

I will test later. However is fates as up to date as norns? There was a general update on the 14th.

Nope. I don’t think so. This is the last update I am on.

Maybe a fates issue then? I can’t test this. Anyone else? This works on shield with latest update.

There was an update here that changed screen levels: Norns: update 201202

Yeah, thanks, I wasn’t aware I missed an update. I am on 201202 now.

  • removed Sines and data folder
  • reset
  • it works

Thanks for the help (!!) an sorry for the confusion about the update.

@Oootini
hey ya!
just an FYI…

i notice this message keeps popping up when i do an Update All in maiden:
update failed: worktree contains unstaged changes

when i ran into this in the past with others i would just delete the script and do a re-install via maiden.

however…in this case it keeps popping up with Sines.

Weird. “Unstaged changes” is a reference to modified files in your sines folder that git thinks should be committed. Maybe there is a .git folder that maiden doesn’t clear out properly?

ssh into norns, cd to /sines folder, and then run git status - you should see the files that maiden is complaing about. maybe you edited sines.lua? git reset --hard in \sines will wipe out your local changes.

but - maybe you want these changes?

will do.

yeah…when it comes to code…i do not touch anything. :stuck_out_tongue:
i would break the code and i don’t have the patience one needs to code to begin with. :slight_smile:

i have run into this before a few times with other scripts.

OK. But remember, you did checkout a develop branch - I think you mentioned this upthread. this might be the cause of those errors…

If find yourself pining for slighty different timbres, I made two variants of the app and posted them on Github. You can install the variants by pasting the below into Maiden. You will need to remap all controls for each variant. Squares has a pulsewidth and filter control, Saws has a filter control. Otherwise identical to Sines.

Oh, nice! Talking of variants…
Two ideas: one variant with frequency controls instead of notes, one with grabbing the input and translating it to a freq (pretty much what @zebra’s crowns does but with the added bonus of the sines interface. Probably it could be just one script that does this, maybe moving some things like bit/samplerate to the parameters could help to add these to the script ui.
I gotta get back to my somehow working/somehow failed attempt to add libreels into the original script as well. Got a strange flickering between scripts after a while and could only load on certain reels.

hmmm. yes I really like that idea of being able to grab a frequency from the input! I’ll check it out.

huge fan of this script… is there any chance we could get an update with the original envelope controls alongside the current sample rate and bit depth ones?

I kind of liked these too.

(I don’t necessarily prefer to get control over every parameter. It can also be very nice if you have to live with choices the instrument (or its inventor) made for you.)

Yeah I agree the current envelope gui is a bit goofy. it would be easy to put back something like the original. I’ll add that to the list.

thanks so much! I do like the envelope control we have now, but the other modes would definitely be nice. seriously nice work :slight_smile:
