Otis v2.
1
basics
there are three pages, mix, play, and edit. navigate with encoder 1. hold key 1 for ALT.
mix:
• key 2 = mute L
• key 3 = mute R
• enc 2 = vol L
• enc 3 = vol R
• ALT + enc 2 = pan L
• ALT + enc 3 = pan R
play:
• key 2 = ip L
• key 3 = ip R
• ALT + key 2 = skip L
• ALT + key 2 = skip R
• enc 2 = tape speed L
• enc 3 = tape speed R
• ALT + enc 2 = feedback L
• ALT + enc 3 = feedback R
edit:
• key 2 = rec L on/o
• key 3 = rec R on/o
• ALT + key 2 = clear bu er L
• ALT + key 3 = clear bu er R
• enc 2 = tape length L
• enc 3 = tape length R
• ALT + enc 2 = skip con g
• ALT + enc 3 = speed con g

parameters
l/r loops:
• vol - loop volume
• speed - playback and recording speed
• speed slew - the time it takes for your speed to "settle" at its destination speed.
• loop start - start of your loop in seconds
• loop end - end of your loop in seconds
• feedback - how much of your overwritten material should stick around? 1 is all, 0 is none.
• rec - enable/disable recording
• pan - stereo posistion
• pan slew - time it takes for your pan position to "settle" at its destination position.
engine:
• sample rate
• bit depth
• saturation - tape style saturation amount
• crossover - crossover frequency for the e ect lters
• tone
• noise - tape hiss amount
con g:
• skip controls - whether skip jumps back to the start of your loop, or to a random position
• speed scale - set your speed scale/quantizing
• audio routing - set the signal ow. default is input + softcut -> engine.
modulation:
• lfo target - select parameter to modulate
• lfo shape - sine, square, or sample and hold
• lfo depth - amount of modulation
• o set - lfo o set amount
• lfo freq - lfo speed
• lfo - lfo on/o toggle

grid
•L/R loops are laid
out identically.
•touch a key inside
the "loop position"
area to jump to that
point in the loop.
•holding the grid alt
button and touching
one of the speed up/
down buttons will
return speed to 1.
•holding the grid alt
button and turning
enc 2/3 will "slide"
your L/R loops
around the bu er.
lfo’s:
while holding an **lfo on** button you can edit lfo parameters with the norns encoders and
keys:
• enc 1: lfo speed/frequency
• enc 2: lfo depth
• enc 3: lfo o set
• key 2/3: set lfo shape
to "patch" an lfo:
• hold an lfo on button
• adjust lfo settings
• touch a control

speed scales
speed sets are collections of 6 speeds that are playable via the grid. adding your own “tunings”
is easy.
TO ADD YOUR CUSTOM SCALE, SIMPLY:
• connect norns to wi and launch maiden
• open the ``dust/code/otis/lib`` folder
• open the le named ``spds.lua``
• add the scale name to the ``spds.names`` table. (it's best to avoid spaces and special
characters)
• add a ``spds.YourNameGoesHere`` table containing six numbers 0-4.
that’s it! you're a musical
hacker person now!
