Re: Tonehole Sensor reading?

Pleasure! Sorry you weren't able to get the pitchbend data you were hoping for. In my experience sensing fingers 1 cm away is already pushing the sensors to the limit, as they're really designed for presence/absence sensing in the range of a few mm.

Re: Tonehole Sensor reading?

If you’ve disabled the CDC class as described on the GitHub site you’ll have to enable that again in order to print to the serial monitor. Here’s the info about that: https://github.com/amowry/warbl?tab=readme-ov-file#a-few-additional-notes In other words, you’ll need to recomment this line in the U...

Re: Tonehole Sensor reading?

Okay, yes-- it does sound like the holes are being "seen" as partially covered even when they are totally uncovered. I think this has to do with the senseDistance variable, and I just noticed that my notes in the code for that variable say: "Needs to be higher than the baseline sensor...

Re: Tonehole Sensor reading?

Interesting-- I want to make sure I understand correctly. Are you saying that you've recalibrated the sensors so that they "light up" in blue in the Config Tool but they are applying a pitchbend value even when fully covered and illuminated in blue? As far as I'm aware, if a hole is regist...

Re: Tonehole Sensor reading?

Unfortunately, the sensors are only able to detect your fingers around 1 cm away, so if you're adding another enclosure around the WARBL I don't think you'll be able to get any useful readings from them. When designing the WARBL I tried to make it so that your fingers are as close to the sensors as ...

Re: Tonehole Sensor reading?

Good question. The sensor values increase as your fingers get closer. They are in the low single digits with your fingers completely removed and range up to around 200-300 touching the toneholes. They also increase exponentially, so they are much more sensitive when fingers are very close to them. T...

Re: Off the grid?

Yes, that one should still work fine, though there may be a few features that aren't available. The current version is always in the GitHub repository: https://github.com/amowry/warbl/tree/master It's a little more difficult to retrieve there-- I believe you have to download all the WARBL code, by c...

Re: trouble configuring the Warbl

Hi Jonny, It sounds like you are currently using the built-in sound in the Configuration Tool, which doesn't respond to pitchbend (slide and vibrato). Sorry for the confusion! That sound in the Config Tool is very basic (as you can tell) and is mostly just meant for simple testing purposes. For bett...

Re: not having much luck with the warblr

Great, I'm glad you have it working better now! Those two links appear to be for the same photo, but what I see there looks fine (maybe one photo was meant to be of the pressure/CC mapping)?

Re: not having much luck with the warblr

Okay, thanks! Is this on a PC, Mac, or iOS? If you're on a PC, you're probably aware that a MIDI device can only connect to one MIDI app at a time, so if you've connected to the WARBL Configuration Tool you'll need to completely close your web browser before opening your VST app, and vice versa.
