Noise Commander 0.0.15 release + tutorial video

The universal updater database usually needs a couple days to ingest a new version so I thought I'd make this a Patreon "early-exclusive" thing until then.This is mostly a GUI-bugfix release, apologies about the previous version being almost unusable.Demo version download linkFull version download link0.0.15AddedPads show current instrument number in lower right cornerNew generic "set length" dialog for changing current phrase- and clip-lengthsNew tracker-view hotkey Y+X - shows "set phrase-length" dialogNew clipmatr...

Optional updater/installer app

Install this for easier updating or if you want to get latest "experimental" testing build.You will need to enter your patreon email-address which I need to activate manually first, so it may not be instant after your sign-up.You can always download and install the CIA file manually from hereInstructions:1. Launch FBI2. Choose "Remote Install"3. Choose "Scan QT Code"4. Scan the code

If NC crashes and disappears at startup

It's a bug related to the "/nc/recentplaylists" file.You need to delete it to get around the bug, I apologize.You can use FBI, the "3D Shell" app or any file manager app to delete it.

Linux shell file-upload script

How to use:ncupload <filepath> <ip-address>You can of course edit the default ip-address in the file, then you don't need to pass it for every invocation.

New tutorial video for 0.0.11

I hope this makes sense and fun and sorry if my voice is condescending, I am not great at being a presenter.Thanks for being here :)

Login issues with the updater app

Some of you fresh paid members are not able to log in with your email address when attempting to install noise commander via the installer/updater app.It's because the data is not coming through the Patreon API when my script is requesting it for a reason that I don't understand. It appears to affect about 20% to 30% of the paid users.I am sorry if this is happening to you.You can either send me a personal message or download and install the CIA file manually instead as a workaround.

Version 0.0.11 release

0.0.11I have a new tutorial video ready but am waiting for the universal updater database to ingest it before uploading.You will find the latest fully-feature cia file hereand the demohereAddedCurrent octave is displayed in right-side status columnB + Y inserts a hard note off value (in contrast A + B changes the note length to current row)"Tune to C" button in instrument view - simple zero-crossing method, sometimes off by one note - not perfectPop-up dialog for downloading demo-samples appears at startup if the samples directory is em...

How to get started

Please click the "About"-tab, you will find information on how to install the demo- or the full versionand a lot more.I had this as a pinned post for the last two years, not realizing that only members can see it at the top, so it was super obscured all the time, I apologize. What a spectacular fail!

Please uninstall the demo before installing the full version

Hi, when I woke up this morning it dawned to me that users might run into an issue where they are still running the demo after installing the full version.The reason is that the demo and full version are using the same ID and are considered the same by the system.When you install a CIA file and the same version number (0.0.10) is already installed, it will quietly do nothing. It is designed to only install greater versions than currently installed.There are three ways of uninstalling a 3DS app:1. The official way via the Nintendo System Setting...

Latest full version download link

Download v0.0.15You can upload the cia-file to the "/nc/cia" directory via the "upload" function in noise commander and then install it by selecting it in the file browser and pressing A.Alternatively the commonFBI app can be used to install it if needed.View changelog (latest version may not be released yet)View latest commits

Christmas and probability trigs

My plan was to work on Noise Commander a few days prior to christmas but alas a major family matter happened that needed frequent attention.Instead of doing the work, I instead would often brainstorm about Noise Commander features when I could not sleep. It's something I always do, but now especially.I am happy to report that nevertheless I did manage to implement probability-trigs as known from other sequencers. If you are a paid member and have the installer, you can try the latest "temp"-version of v0.0.10 right now.It's a ne...

Download the beatober 2024 songs (34 MB)

Contains all 14 beats I made for the beatober challenge, requires Noise Commander v0.0.9 or greater.I hope you will enjoy them. They are named after real stars from a randomly picked list on the Internet.This reminds me that NC really needs a playlist feature to organize tracks for mixing sessions.I hope you all had a nice Christmas and I wish you a happy new year!

Demo version

These features are disabled in the demo:SavingRecording to WAVResamplingSetup instructions:1. Extract the songs to /nc/tracks on the SD (create the directory if it does not exist)2. Extract the samples to /nc/samples on the SD (create the directory if it does not exist)3. Install the CIA file via the FBI appPress L + R in the app to read the manual for operational instructions.Tip: You can also install the demo via the universal-downloader app

Click-track syncing video

At first I thought aligning the tempo like an ol-school DJ would be manageable but nope.I found a convoluted solution to sync to other gear however:D

Version 0.0.9

Download via the installer or the attached CIA file for manual installation.I attached a demo-song as well. Hope you like it.P.S. I tend to report what I'm working on in small increments to the community chat, check it out if that interests you.P.S 2: Just noticed that the installer might say this version is already installed - you need to press Y to first uninstall the current and restart the installer. Will fix this in the future, apologies.0.0.9AddedSupport for loading 8-Bit wav files. Now we can load up to 128 bars worth of 24khz 8-Bit ...

Keeping in range - for tema5002 who asked on youtube

Here is the xm file for Fasttracker 2.My tracker-boy handle was/is Loolarge - several people asked and I never exposed it for probably stupid reasons.Was worried that Nintendo would come after me because of Noise Commander 3DS.But if I learnt anything after one year of youtube, then it is this: nobody cares. I am a small fish in a large pond.I plan to put all the tracker-music on bandcamp and make some sort of executable music disk in the future, just didn't prioritize it yet.Enjoy, tema5002.Oh yes, Loolarge is a german play on words. I was...
