JUST TYPE studies

The Division sets how many times it will trigger within the period set in JF.TICK.

ie. 4 is quarter-notes, 16 is 16ths, etc

Ahhh gotcha, is there a way to specify anything under 1? I tried JF.VOX 1 DIV 1 2 -1 but that didn’t work. Also, I noticed when I had a script that was like:

JF.VOX 1 1 -1
JF.VOX 2 2 -1
JF.VOX 3 4 -1

only the first and third outputs were triggering.

Teletype uses integers only, so you can’t set any parameter or variable to a fraction/floating point.

As a work-around, you could set JF.TICK to half the BPM, so that JF.VOX 1 1 -1 was firing at the required frequency. Then double the Division of the other JF.VOX outputs accordingly.

Not sure why your 2nd output isn’t firing there.

two riffs on Just Type studies 4 and 6 from my recent vacation to the Adirondacks:

https://soundcloud.com/user-388295829/adirondacks-1-bad-guitar-solo

this one is based on JT study 6; chords are triggered by SQ-1 and manually.
the “guitar solo” is braids and dixie ii as a complex osc running through cold mac’s wicked crease circuit. pitch is coming from keystep.

recorded live to a tascam porta 03; it was all recorded together, i wish i could have lowered the level of the “solo” a bit. a little bit of editing reverb added in ableton – trust me, you don’t want the whole 8 minutes.

this one is based on JT study 4; notes triggered in groups by SQ-1. modulation from pam’s via cold mac.
also recorded live on the tascam, but I also played it into my audio interface through an old sony cassette dictaphone. as it turns out the dictaphone’s playback was just slightly slower than the tascam’s, so the tracks gradually get more and more out of phase.

i left the clicks of hitting the record button in the tracks (including a few times on accident while rewinding to past parts) – i feel like it puts me in the room a bit.

@dan_derks – huge huge shouts out for these wonderful studies

I just started playing with Geode, so far I love it

Can someone explain me the following (from the manual)? What does tap tempo mean in this context? Thanks!!

clock/bpm : 1 to 48 define how many ticks equal one measure, sent repeatedly through tap-tempo from Teletype. eg JF.TICK 4 meaning four notes per measure

Has the JF.RUN changed since the inception of demo 6? I am only getting the shift in the sound if I turn the INTONE/FM knob away from 12 o clock.

With the demo, I doesn’t set JF.RMODE 1 either. I don’t know if that would make a difference. I can just put that in the Live Type window, but I’m still not getting the same effect.

You can think of JF.TICK 1...48 like a clock pulse. The argument (1-48) determines how many clock pulses make up one measure.

So, let’s say you used JF.TICK 4 - every fourth tick would be the start of a new bar. The tempo would depend on how frequently the ticks occur.

Sending one JF.TICK 8 every second would result in the same tempo as sending one JF.TICK 16 every half second, since they would ultimately take the same out of time to complete one measure.

If you are using 16th note clock to drive Geode, you can then conveniently use JF.TICK 16 to sync Geode to your external clock.

Edit - just realized that your post was from over a year ago… will leave this here for reference though.

Recently finished studying the Just Type series. Wonderful documentation, very excited to see where this takes me next. I recorded a quick jam using a modified version of Collaboration from the studies.

The patch is TT+JF, 3 x 1u sloths for modulation of fm/curve/ramp etc., WMD/SSF MMF, Modbox for faster modulations, and Rungler for random cv/triggers. Norns/Pools for shimmery shimmers.

Began setting up, just before sunset. Getting camera/recorder in place took longer than expected, so I was racing to finish before dark.

This is inspiring me to revisit these tutorials.

Thanks!

SimonKirby · 2020-02-05T19:24:10.462Z

This is so wonderful, and really shows what an expressive combination these two modules make. Please do keep sharing this kind of inspiration!

joe_biomassa · 2020-03-13T02:12:12.656Z

Hello everyone,

can anybody please confirm that Geode’s JF.TICK 0…48 tempo functionality is working reliably in current TT firmware (3.1)? I can’t seem to get it to work, whereas “direct” BPM setting seems to be working properly-ish. Thanks!

to follow up on myself,
i am getting consistent results demonstrating timing issues in Geode. basically i can only make JF.VOX commands fire somewhat reliably by inserting DEL XX: prefixes before them.
main question is — is my i2c setup an issue in this case and where should i look to troubleshoot? cables are short, there are TT<>JF and TT<>ER-301 connections.

I know I’m 3 months late but if you have some scripts, I can test them out this weekend. I’m super interested in Geode as well but just got my TT/JF set up so haven’t had time to dive in.

keinexco · 2020-06-25T20:01:12.615Z

Likewise! Generally interested in playing with the Just Type scripts of others. In particular, aside from Geode, I’m curious how folks are composing in just intonation (via JF.TUNE).
