descartes

Cartesian sequencer for norns, grid and crow.

Requirements

  • norns
  • grid

Documentation

  • Norns' screen indicates which parts of the grid correspond to which parameters of the sequencer.
  • For access, gate, and glide, press keys on the grid to enable / disable behavior for a particular step.
  • Hold a grid key in the step section and turn E2 to change the current note on that step.
  • Go to params to map the various layers' cv and gate outputs to crows four outputs

Changelog

v1.2.0

  • adjusted midi note values so that output midi note numbers match note name displayed
  • added midi offset param in each layer

v1.1.1

  • fixed a bug in which norns would freeze if a user set turned off all access cells
  • fixed a bug that prevented the y layer from working entirely
  • fixed assignable inputs

v1.1.0

  • crow is no longer required!
  • added midi output for all 3 channels, velocity and midi channel configurable in params
  • added internal clocking, users can opt to use an internal clock for any layer rather than crow, users can set division of global clock
  • added param groups
  • fixed a bug in which x clocks weren't cycling correctly in the c layer
  • fixed a bug in which the script may not have been loading due to an absence of save data
