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…

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:

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.

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.

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

3 posts were split to a new topic: Just Type: Explorations

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?

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.

No synthesis, sequenced via Ansible/grid with gate shapes through a second JF then. Arhw too bad. Future music anyway (crow)
thanks as always!

we have > teletype : code exchange and > teletype: grid # code exchange
so perhaps > teletype : just type code exchange ?

Hi all,

I made a new thread Just Type: Explorations for videos/sounds, script & patch ideas, discussion of using Just Type.

Keeping this thread open for more technical questions on how it works, reporting issues, feature requests, and more general questions about the setup.

hi! i’m wondering about any further developments on this. having received my TT recently in geode i could never reach constant triggering on subsequent JF.VOX ops besides the 1st one. putting a DEL: 5 in front of them somewhat helps but the results are not consistent. synth mode seems to not skip any notes and i only have ER-301 and JF connected, no powered bus or backpack.
