scratch that; I kinda think the raw interface of the serialosc library alone works better than the little grid library sat on top of it. Which makes me wonder if there’s a way to iterate on that grid library.

@jasonw22 I saw monome notes, when I was looking for a way to play linn-like on the monome, but it was a bit overdesign for my needs. It looks cool tho, I don’t have MAX nor max4live on my current machine, so I didn’t test it.

@kasselvania I can make add support for it but I won’t be able to test it well. Do you think you could help me with that?

@infovore never got that thing to work at all.

Update

  • Added way to close other than ctrl-c, press any key to close.
  • Added Norns support.

I would love a chance to help out with the none variable brightness testing. I also am currently finishing a build of a custom norns running on an RPi with the same build specs. Not sure if you were thinking about doing a norns build, but if so, I can do some none vari-bright tests there too. Shoot me dm whenever you might be ready for me to give it a test!

I’ll start the non varilight version, you can check the norns version in the meantime.

So if I wanted to use this I need to install from terminal? This is kind of above my head.

So, I’m trying to install git, and after downloading and a seemingly successful install, I get this message when I check for in the terminal (git -v):

xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

Any advice would be much appreciated; I’m eager to try this out!

Thanks in advance!

Edit: got it working and it’s great! thanks for making this!

Hey im getting the same error message from terminal. What did you do to fix it?

**got it sorted

@AJG @Prnts what did you do to fix that issue? Maybe I can add some extra steps and details on this in the guide up on top.

Had to update the the Xcode command line tools.

xcode-select --install

Restart terminal after the install and then everything should be good.

By the way just got around to checking this out with Ableton and its awesome. How hard would it be to make a version that can be used for the drum rack?

Very easy, I’ll open an issue about that and implement that change when I get back home, I’m currently traveling for the next 4 days(without my grid).
Stay tuned!

How would you like for it to work?

  • Would something like holding a two keys to change octaves work?

That would be a good way to move through the rack I think yes.

The main issue using this linn patch now is that not all of the notes are available to trigger the 8x8 in a drum rack. It would be pretty cool if the left side of the grid was allocated to the active 8x8 in the drum rack granted this is obviously much different than the linn setup

I can’t do that without ruining the elegant layout of the Linnstrument, but, would you like me to make you a custom layout that is explicitly for doing pads and drums?

Draw a picture of which keys you’d like on the grid and I will make you a script for it! :slight_smile:

Such a great idea!
Any chance that this could be adapted for a 64 grid? I tried running the script on mine, and it does work, but there are a few repeating and out of place notes on each row. Thanks in advance

I can try, but I don’t have one to test so it might a bit of a trial and error. You might be able to simply edit the list here to make it fit your device :slight_smile:

This range of notes would cover 4 banks of 8x8 in an Ableton drum rack. If you set two buttons for moving up and down the octaves like you said it should work pretty nice

34%20PM 43%20PM 55%20PM 11%20PM

On it :slight_smile: Give me a day or two.

Niceeeeee thanks no rush at all. Extremely grateful. Will make my grid even more valuable when traveling

I had some time this morning, give this a spin.
Let me know what you think!
