#327

I just did the update to v3.0.5 and I noticed something strange:

in shape/cycle, if intone is at 12, you’ll get all the output at the same rate. if I move intone CCW or CW, and return to 12, I can’t manage to get the outputs at the same rate again.

the only solution is to switch from cycle to sustain, and cycle again, with intone at 12

by the way, I first tried to update with a brand new black market modular cable, and I couldn’t get into the boot loader mode. tried again with an old mutable cable, and it worked on first try.

#328

Is this new behavior? I’d have expected it to behave like this. When you change intone, the different outputs all cycle at different rates and thus desynchronize. When you put intone back to 12, they’ll be at different positions in their cycle. The only reasonable way to get them to sync up again (without touching the cycle time) would be to restart the cycle on change of intone, which would be a very bad idea…

I’d be very interested to hear how this was done before if this is in fact new behavior.

#329

maybe it’s not a new behavior. maybe I just didn’t realize this yet.

your explanation make a lot of sens.

#330

Nothing has changed in the intone zone. Sounds like your channels are out of phase even though they’re at the same rate.

I Investigated further about my randomly missing notes problem when in GEODE and i found out something quite strange:
the notes disappear ONLY when i am approaching the “sine mode” with CURVE and when RAMP is at 12 o’ clock (so pure sines) :no_mouth:

I hope it will help.

That is fascinating and bizarre! Thank you for the super specific reproduction hint!

omg! tickled that I’m not late enough to the party to have missed all the firmware updates (got my JF this month from Control), and love these changes!

Also—thank you for this module, it really is a delight.

Hi!

I’m having slight problems with Just Type. When I am done Just Typing, I’d like to type jf.mode 0 and get on with normal operation. But for instance, Plume mode just sustains indefinitely. After a power cycle, with the same settings, suddenly I get pingable LPG emulations - but not before.

Any ideas what could be happening?

thanks!

Sounds like a bug! I’ll log it in the tracker. Thanks for the report!

Just to add: At least for me, even when I type JF.MODE 0, Teletype still affects JF via I2C…

#337

Which commands are you using? The only ones that shouldn’t work are JF.VOX, JF.NOTE and JF.TICK. The rest are supposed to work always.

JF.MODE just activates/deactivates Synthesis and Geode modes . It doesn’t disable I2c, or Run mode.

Okay, thanks! The part about the commands is normal, then. :slight_smile:

#340

One more observation: when I trigger JF in Synthesis mode from TT at audio rates (not that I’d actually want to do it that much), some JF notes hang.

#341

learning my way through this wonderful module combo, still very new to teletype. one thing I wonder though - will a version without a distorted mix out ever be offered? a lot of times I love the sound, but other times I really wish I could reliably have things be nice and gentle and clean. I’m aware about mixing the separate outputs, but that can use up a lot of utility resources, for example I would hate to devote my cold mac just to mixing the JF outputs to avoid distortion.

#342

Teletype’s JF.VTR will let you set the velocity for the channels, why not try that and see if you can get an undistorted mix out?

Ah yes, good call! Will try this out

#345

Could someone clarify if when using Just Type in synthesis a second Just Friends (or any env gen i guess) will still take gates from a sequence/or live playing and generate the Envelopes/shapes for the JF in sound/synthesis?

If so, does this still work via cables from ansible?

#346

Well, as usual the answer is “yes and no”. The official description is very clear on how Just Type works. Indeed, one can still use the gate inputs to trigger sounds (independently from the note values Teletype is assigning, in case that’s important—it would take some thought or typing to have the gates advance the sequence), and if you’re careful with your scripting you can even determine which inputs will correspond to which notes.

As mentioned in the link, in synthesis mode you get some control over the built-in envelope shaping, but it won’t really follow an external envelope generator. You could always run each output you’ll be using through its own VCA, but given my vague understanding of your setup that seems out of the question.
