norns midigrid library

A few helper scripts for emulating and using midi grids like a monome grid, on the monome norns.

Two scripts in the lib folder to include in scripts as ‘grid’, config files in the config folder for setups with different devices.

instructions

midigrid.lua and apcmini_config.lua is documented in the scripts themselves, setting up a new config file also means it needs to be loaded into the script itself:

-----------------------------
--loading up config file here
-----------------------------
local config = include('midigrid/config/apcmini_config')
-- local config = include('midigrid/config/launchpad_config')
-- local config = include('midigrid/config/untz_config')
-----------------------------

Then, in whatever script you are working in, it works well to override the global grid object with our own local one:

--adding this to script
local grid = include('cheapskate/lib/midigrid')
--or this
local grid = include('cheapskate/lib/midigrid_2pages')
--which allows this call to work with our midi grid
local g = grid.connect()

Previous issues with the midi device being blocked are resolved with this new implementation taken from ryanlaws [https://github.com/ryanlaws/lunchpaid][lunchpaid].

two page mode

This script aims to emulate a 128 (16x8) grid by spreading a virtual grid buffer over two grid pages that you can toggle with auxiliary buttons

apc mini

By default, the left and right arrow buttons on the bottom row of buttons on the grid

launchpad

The toggle buttons are the top two column buttons in launchpad auxiliary column. need to set them up so they can be the left and right arrows but this is non trivial as the top auxiliary buttons on the launchpad send control (176) messages not note on.

todos

add config files for launchpad (and untz maybe)

allow config files to overide led and all functions, for more native launchpad support

add cols and rows function

make page changing more efficient code wise

consider how to make this more sensible with the midi device number thing…

scripts

Notes for norns scripts that either work or I wanna make work, or need a little love to make work

step

works, need to block out midi

strum

works but with midi blocking

mlr64

[https://github.com/noiserock/custom64][mlr64] works!

earthsea for apc mini

this is pretty much ready to go, use the earthsea from the ash library

its glitchy and not sure why working but glitchy?

vials for apc mini

I think this can be implemented as just split view toggle

if view2 then {new mapping}

status

works pretty great two pages

meadowphysics, this is one to look at

basic mode is simple, just subtract by half

Reset, Output, and Speeds

this just needs a speed interface… if (config)

if rules then choose with encoder

strides

this one should be easy too, the second half of the grid is just pulled up from an alt key

shfts

a toggle button for the two views

cranes

this is split in two, but horizontally, so going to need to be a little more sophisticated in the mapping

ekombi

just make it half as precise

takt

maybe just a two pager?

foulplay

only 64 ready to go!

zellen

good to go with rows and cols, and adjusting led values

isoseq

just the max pattern length needs to change
