gridkeys
mod for monome norns, use grid as midi keyboard anywhere.
can send midi message towards currently running script (in), external hadware (out) or both at the same time (in+out).
additionally, can target crow 1+2 CV ports and Just Friends through crow via ii.
usage
when no script is loaded, auto-activates in out mode. the target device can be selected in the params menu (MOD - GRIDKEYS > MIDI OUT device).
will auto-activate in in mode for scripts that don't natively use grid. it can anyway be toggled on/off via param menu (MOD - GRIDKEYS > gridkeys active).
in in mode, notes will be sent to the input of the virtual midi device, which you certainly would have to activate in SYSTEM > DEVICES > MIDI.
gotchas
in in mode, playing grid will only take effect if current script listens to the virtual midi device.
in out mode, playing grid will only take effect if target device is other than none and virtual.
known issues
when doing a manual stop (either though maiden'd stop button or with the K1 held + K3 key combo in the 3rd screen of the global menu), gridkeys will fail to activate.
when norns loads previous script at boot (after a sleep), gridstep will also fail to activate.
in both scenarios, going to the params menu, and switching grikeys off then back on will force it to activate.
example usage
midi out mode allows to play grid as a midi keyboard, targeting external hardware.
midi in mode is ideal for synth scripts such as:
icarusmx.sampleslissadron*sines*
*: those script only listen for the first midi device, so you'd have to have virtual in first position in your global midi config.
additionally, can be used in development phase to debug a supercollider engine.
