Nope, the light has been dull since I got it. I owned a couple of them some months ago and I’m pretty sure that it’s not user error, unfortunately.

dear oscillators,
i’m new to the monome/mannequins environment. pardon my very basic question: i have my TT connected to my JF with a 20cm i2c cable, everything is lined up correctly. my TT is on the newest firmware. not exactly sure if my JF is though. i’m getting this message when trying to engage with JF via i2c. what am i doing wrong?

@alanza maybe you know the answer to this?

#485

Ahhhh, it’s telling you that you’re missing an argument. Check the Just Type documentation for more details:

JF.TR channel state

Simulate a TRIGGER input.

  • channel : set the channel to be triggered.
    • 1 is IDENTITY through 6 is 6N
    • 0 will trigger all channels
    • nb: The hardware normalization is ignored - only the named channel will trigger
  • state : set the trigger high or low. Any non-zero value is ‘high’
    • Only sustain mode responds to (indeed requires) ‘low’ triggers to begin release

So try JF.TR 1 1

Hi! Right now I have several modules in my case, including an ER301, TT, Rainmaker, Shapeshifter, and so on … After reading the different modules that people have in their racks, I’ve came across with the Whimshical Raps units. I already have a MN Maths, so, is the JF really a good complement to the Maths? Something totally different? I’m asking this because I would like to buy several modules, so if the JF is similar to the Maths, I will probably go for 2 x 3S’s and a ColdMac. If the JF is a good option, then I will go for a JF, a 3S’s and a ColdMac.

Any suggestions?

Just Friends is not similar to Maths. Sure both can do nice envelopes and LFO’s, but the implementation is very different. As is the way you interact with each. Then there’s the Sound mode of Just Friends which is immensely deep and flexible. But that’s not all, the Run function opens up a whole new set of friends, as does i2c.

Just Friends is one of the nicest modules I own and it usually finds a place in my patches.

I have both and find they compliment each other well. Maths is really good at shaping/controlling a a single function to a high degree, while Just Friends really shines as a set of complimentary functions when it comes to modulation.

So already having Maths, would you preffer a JF + 3S, or 2x 3F’s?

One cool thing of buying a JF is the option to use It with my TT + grid combo …

I would avoid duplicates in your system unless you have a good reason. It’ll lead to more possibilities.

Depends on what you’re doing with your system as a whole, but Maths + JF + 3S can cover a lot of bases in a compact space. Just Type is amazing as well.

I like duplicates. They are good opportunity to learn deeply into your module and multiply knowledge by number of same modules. I have two MN functions and one contour, which have some features function does not. But differences in knob response makes it another module to learn and find it’s sweet spots. Now I would definitely prefer three functions instead.

Agreed; however, if you have Teletype you can attenuate / modulate JF outputs via scripts :wink:

I was wondering if it’s possible at all to send Just Friends MIDI notes when it’s in the Just Type “Synthesis” mode.

I know there’s been some talk of integrating MIDI with Teletype, and I know that Ansible and Teletype can connect to one another, but I’m not sure if that means you can directly send Just Friends MIDI data. I feel like that ability to do that would really open a lot of opportunities as far as using JF as a six-voice polysynth. Any ideas?

Sadly Just Friends has no built in way of even receiving midi data, nor interpreting it.

Crow will almost assuredly be capable of interpreting MIDI to send Just Type messages.
