shellfritsch:

if i use the same sample on multiple tracks they will choke each-other in playback. ie. if the sample is playing on track 1, but then the same sample is triggered on track 2 - it will stop the sample playback on track 1. ideally the use of a second track would allow you to have a second layer of polyphony for that sample.

you might be able to copy the sample and just name it foo2.wav, foo3.wav, etc. Just an idea

YAEH! Reverse is awesome! Didn’t realize it until you just said this. Kept looking for a representation of reverse in your screenshots, since I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet.

Thanks again for the great work!

thats an engine limitation unfortunately.

ah good to know. i suppose i can just manually load the same sample into two separate slots then.

a couple feature questions:

is clock swing possible?
is realtime note input something you’re considering? i could see a separate page for playing in notes on the grid - or even support for a usb midi keyboard for note entry…

its_your_bedtime · 2020-01-24T19:23:11.025Z

yep its all doable, just need a time and inspiration

kasselvania · 2020-01-24T19:28:24.944Z

I’d be 20 characters of thrilled for those features!

I was thinking that once the new norns update comes along and adds midi control over global params such as output/input/engine/sc etc, this would basically be one layer short of an octotrack!

I’ve not got stuck into this yet, but I’m absolutely looking forward to it!

Thanks for all the work you’ve put in @its_your_bedtime, I love all your contributions to Norns!

I saw on github you have a patreon account! Happy to say I’ve subscribed to show a bit of support, and hope you continue to develop great apps in future

It shouldn’t be The Timber Keys script is polyphonic with one sample for reference, let me know if there’s something that’s not working for you!

its_your_bedtime · 2020-01-24T22:27:22.452Z

cool, missed that. i’ll check it out and rework choke groups logic then!

@ganders i really appreciate that! sorry there is no posts etc - just cant get myself to make that cool self-promoting patreon page everybody seems to have

edit:

fixed the polyphony issue, however if identical samples triggered on same step on different tracks - both of them will have parameter locks of the latter track.
samples ids are now in range of 1 - 100 (previously 0 - 99)

loving this so far - a great update - thankyou
that screen is much quicker to move around and change values - really well designed
a quick issue I’m having is i can’t get the “load folder” bit to work - it remains blank.
I can load individual samples without issues.
Is there a song mode or a way to sequence patterns? I can’t find it on the pattern page like v1.
Also the randomise pitch/clear locks/random start value from v1 - is that still possible in v2?

its_your_bedtime · 2020-01-25T11:41:14.889Z

folder loading fixed, please update:)
song mode - on patterns page

its_your_bedtime:

press and hold first pattern then select last one and hit play

jlmitch5 · 2020-01-26T00:33:32.586Z

how do you save the project in the new version? I can’t figure out how to get to the persistence screen mentioned in the v1 docs (holding k1 does not work for me)

EDIT: got it scroll up in parameter screen

jlmitch5 · 2020-01-26T00:55:52.180Z

hmm…after loading a saved project, it seems like norns crashes when I try to save a sample (hit the floppy disk) on the sampling page.

also crashed while trying to load a sample already saved in norns.

a few other things I’ve noticed:

if I change a sample for a track, it’s like the sample will be cycling (once it gets to the end, it keeps repeating)
if I go all the way to 0 on the END for a particular track, and try to go back to 100% length, it’s like only the transient of the sample will play, not the full length. (It seems liek maybe the start and end range isn’t updating to the new sample’s length.

its_your_bedtime · 2020-01-26T03:16:39.329Z

are you on latest ver? i think im fixed sample saving and play_mode thing - please make sure you are on latest version before posting bug reports, as i usually make a few commits a day while script is not finished.

also made a quick fix so sample length updates when sample changed and there is no lock on step, let me know if this works for you:)

I think I was, I had updated about 5 hours ago. Before posting any other quirks I see here, I’ll update and test again.

The crashing thing is strange after norns crashed twice, it was totally fine after the reboot…saving/loading samples, nothing broke it. I’ll check on the sample length changes tomorrow.

Such a great tool, and the interface is incredible, thank you for it!

Hey! Super cool update, but the “load folder” doesnt seem to work for me. Also once you press load folder and then want to load your saved preset it doesnt work, have to first press “new” to clear everything and then load your old preset.

mlogger · 2020-01-26T13:41:42.514Z

the load folder works for me with the latest update from github - I used Cyberduck and rebooted.

its_your_bedtime · 2020-01-30T16:08:47.840Z

update!

realtime note input (via grid or midi)

new grid page with linnstrument layout (thanks to @neauoire)
- when page active, third button of control row acts as rec on/off toggle
midi device (1) can be used for note input, use CC#38 for rec toggle

elektron-style track scaling

1/8X, 1/4X, 1/2X, 3/4X, 1X, 3/2X and 2X. 

A setting of 1/8X will play back the pattern at one-eighth of the set tempo. 
3/4X plays the pattern back at three-quarters of the tempo; 
3/2X will play back the pattern twice as fast as the 3/4X setting. 
2X will make the pattern play at twice the BPM.

various fixes and improvements

kasselvania · 2020-01-30T16:52:11.824Z

Wow. This is bonkers. I can’t believe you got this built so fast. Was playing with this last night and adore it. Thanks for your hard work!

Seriously, the more I think about it, the more bonkers it is that this is an Elektron box on the norns. To do this in a simple Lua script is beyond impressive.

crim · 2020-01-30T17:57:30.196Z

this is great. feels like I can fully replace my octatrack with norns now

kasselvania · 2020-01-30T19:49:46.731Z

Once we can get full midi control over global params, the main draw of the octotrak, the fader, could be hacked together and make it full on Octotrak in a sweet, grid based box!
