Hi,

unfortunately I still have two issues:

  1. No feedback on screen

After mapping volume 1-16 to the controller (Sensel Morph) these work on the audio level but I still don’t get any visual feedback on the screen. No error messages in maiden.

  1. Error and black screen after mapping scale mode and root note

This is what I reproducibly get after trying to map scale mode and root note:

invalid param set
lua: /home/we/norns/lua/core/paramset.lua:357: invalid paramset index: note17

I am running the current version of Sines (just updated) on a Fates with the latest update. I also did delete /we/dust/data/sines every time I started a new try.

I guess this might be related to what I get when I update via maiden.
“sines update failed: worktree contains unstaged changes”

Yes, thanks. I also noticed that.

I then deleted Sines completely and installed it again (which admittedly does not address this issue :wink: ).

I’ll wait until the repository is updated and see if the issues are gone then…

I’ll have a look later

:edit the root scale/mapping issue is related to errors in how I’ve implemented the build_scale() function. I need to simplify how the note stuff works I think.

it just means you have made changes to something in ~/dust/code/sines (maybe unintentionally.)

update will wipe out these changes, so maiden takes a conservative position and doesn’t let you do it.

Thanks for explaining!

I just noticed, that’s not correct. I don’t get visual feedback on changing the volume via midi. I now also checked with mapping detune and fm and these controls do give visual feedback.

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…
