surprised I missed this detail previously… i thought firmware updates were all that was going to be neccessary.

am i correct to understand, now, that all trilogy modules will require a hardware upgrade for a header to connect the ribbon cable that goes to teletype?

if thats the case, for those of us that don’t solder… will monome offer an upgrade service?

Dying to see this thing in action, this thread is way too quiet! :dizzy_face:

On a side note, it would be cool to see examples using teletype scripts to create basic and complex envelopes for the CV outs. :slight_smile: :smiley:
For instance an envelope with rise / fall times that can be set – like a teletype script version of the Function module, could EOR / EOC be tagged in there too?

Yes, that’s probably going to be my first project. I like using the Orthogonal Devices ER-101 to create envelopes as one shot sequences. TT seems more propitious to it, as it works by triggers. One of the scenes that came with it, a 3 voices ‘jazz box generator’ has envelopes, but I haven’t checked the scripts yet. It seems they’re fixed, since the triggers only change the root note and the scales. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much time to play with it. But, as a first impression, it corroborates lots of potential.

OK, so here are two short captures of the first couple of days with monome teletype module. Nothing too spectacular, as I am really just beginning to learn it. But wanted to get some examples of it in studio use out there.

Main modules in both samples are monomer teletype, meadowphysics, Make Noise Mysteron, drone bed provided by E350 processed through Z-DSP running Halls of Valhalla, and Mutable Instruments Braids. Both samples include Teenage Engineering PO-12 controlled by teletype.

In sample 1 teletype drives everything. This involves some self-patching, and the internal teletype clock.

In sample 2 monome meadowphysics drives teletype, which in turns drives the rest of the setup. Sample 2 is basically one of the scenes (I think the 4th one) that came preloaded on teletype, which I patched into my case almost randomly.

Will post more soon, as I spend more time with this amazing beast!

that deserves a standing ovation @laborcamp
BRAVO

great sounds + excellent shot for sketch #2

Great, really wondeful sounds. Now I see why the screen is below the patchpoints… :flushed:

Ditto. Fantastic soundscapes!
I guess that the location of the screen is due to tehn’s preference for small skiffs, as opposed to monumental vertical walls of spaghetti and knobs, which would make readability pretty hard.

That’s great LC, thanks for posting! :smile:
Any extra thoughts/tid bits on the scripts or the usage of teletype in those cool patches?

As I noted over on MW, a $2 suction cup hook from Home Depot would fit nicely in the empty space above the screen to solve cable routing problems, :sunglasses:

#231

Those are some superb previews of what the module can do. Thanks for sharing your first steps with it!

I can see it will be wise to buy a handful of additional patch cables along with this module, because it sings when you use up every patch point.

it’s also amazingly effective with just two or three! and much more understandable.

#233

like every other monome
my first thought? this thing is tiny

Just spent my teletype money on a generative art course. Next month you will be mine!

#235

nerd minutiae, i know, but i have two questions about the pcb/components

  1. who does the circuit art?
  2. where’d you find the leds [and diffuser lenses]?

Absolutely loving the monome grid + eurorack setup. The only reason I started into Eurorack was because of Monome, such fun…

Here is a short video/track of me testing the sync/reset from teletype to earthsea.
Clock path goes op1 -> iConnnect -> A-190-8 ->MP ->TT ->ES.

Its not much use of TT, but having ES clockable (and scales be markable) is really exciting and fun. Good baby steps with TT for me.

There were a couple of times when ES seemed to get confused while looping from TT resets. At the 48s mark and again at the 57s mark, you hear a long note that is a misfire/miscommunication somewhere (the video from that portion is shot after the fact). Fortunately it picks up on the next ES reset and continues along fine.

@tehn and the monome guys – I had no idea where to go when I started with my modular – I’ve been taking your module choices as a path to learn eurorack/modularSynthesis , from the simple Intellijel setup to the Mannequins trio. Thank you for posting your vids, they’ve been super inspirational.

These are three variations of one scene written in teletype. It’s a bit more abstract, somewhat generative texture engine, with a single tone pattern. All the tempos and structures are derived from the internal teletype metronome (M).

3a:
Teletype controls Make Noise Mysteron, Erbe-verb, and TE PO-12
3b:
Is only two modules: teletype patched directly into Mutable Instruments Elements. Included is a closeup of the teletype screen scrolling through all the scripts.
3c:
Same scene as the previous two clips, except an external clock (gate from white whale) toggles the internal teletype clock on/off on every pulse, and scrambles some variable values resulting in evolving structures. Modules involved are: monome teletype, white whale, Make Noise Sto, Mutable Instruments Elements, and ZDSP running Halls Of Valhalla.
