SquaredHeads Nora: Arpeggiator (2.5 Released!)

[? ? ?]

Does Nora work on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard? I put the folders where they are supposed to go according to the instructions (no issue there as it's the same for most if not all plugs) and Abelton Live 8.4 doesn't see the AU or VST.

I had the same problem with the 64bit version on OSX 10.8. I had to install the 32bit version and use Jbridge to get it to work.

Thanks for the info stefangx. I'll try it out later

There's some interesting reading in this thread (especially pages 2 and 3) that may be of help you two:

Nothing to do with Nora but since the problem seems to be age old it may be related.

From page 19:

I will reply your questions in a while. I finished Nora 2.01, it should be avaliable in 24h. It includes the demo version.

Code: Select all

* Added
- Auxiliar MIDI output recorder for these host that does not support MIDI recording from plugins.
- Option to dock the Playlist in the main interface.

* Modified
- Touch-edit tool now modify only selected notes (Only when there is at least one selected note).

* Bugfixes
- Modifiers (Ctrl, Alt...) were getting stuck when you dragged any object outside its window.
- Fixed a weird bug that could provoke the host miss some notes.
- Normalized Mutate start/lenghts amount.
- Internal clock was having some accuracy problems with variable buffers.
- Phrase Editor's timeline was not loading its height from snm files.
- Free navigation icon was not reading its size from the Misc Size Map.
- Fixed a problem with OSX 10.8 and Nora 64 bit.

Beside this, can I play an simple ARP with the keyboard like in "old" classic ARPs. I could not get this to work and I am new to this software.
If it's not possible, it would be a great feature !

Of course you could do it. By default Nora initiate with the sync with host clock mode in each track. Open the track configuration window, switch the clock mode to internal sync and you got it. You may create a template with this Nora configuration, or a mixed configuration. The presets in the ARP folder are indented to be used with internal sync mode (= classic arpeggiator).

Only the first bar and only when I start playing. If I loop it, when it wraps around to play the first bar again, it sounds fine.

Would a video help?

That tells me that there is pretty high chances that the problem is in the host itself or your virtual MIDI port. You could try switching them, trying another host or another protocol. Anyway, I will take a look tomorrow

We did it compatible since OSX 10.8 (since version 2.01). Maybe we may prepare it to be used with older versions in the next patch. Sorry for inconveniences.

www.squaredheads.com <- ignore the 1.4 comments, it's the 2.01 demo, we're working in the web.

I'm regularly updating the first post, you can see all the changes and news there. Until KVR accepts my forum requests... http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... 6&t=424727

It could also be an issue with timing.

If, for example, the clip starts playback ahead of the transport, the MIDI will not send properly. Another software I use had this issue and was easily solved by fixing the timing.

Hope this helps you to find the problem and solution

thanks a lot, trying the demo out now! and how long does the promo last? i needa restock money ;D.

1. is there a normal arpmode? lile just 1/16 up, down etc. for 1 key - many more keys? without having to paste notes?

2. i dunno the option or how it's called but in bluearp or builtin arps i can draw a note then draw some notes up, down etc. at the same time and the arp changes a bit up and down etc. love it but couldnt get this to work here yet.

like here i learned that i need to play 3 keys at the same time, but when i wanna just (let's say) paste few other notes they are not played, and in other arps (simple up, down etc.) i can paste more notes (single played keys no chord) and the arp adjusts itself:

Aah OK, clock mode to internal sync was the point I did not do.
Now it works as expected, many thanks !

Just an FYI, Downloaded the update, got an email and downloaded the App no prob , the license key was labelled as corrupt on OSX .
In this stage of release when you are updating a lot, the 5 license key a month rule will run out, as one is generated every time we download a new version ?
