Yes that’s via Crow, but playing with that device gave me a much better understanding of what was going on under the hood.

Geode mode on JF especially is an eye opener when I saw the maxforlive device. It’s basically a burst generator / clock divider (div) / multiplier (rep) per output, tied to a master clock, which you can quantise.

Also for documentation it would be really really helpful for fools like me if there was some way of knowing what type of settings W/ might be expecting for different parameters. For example, I assume lpg_time is in milliseconds, but is lpg_symmetry 0-5V? Because if you CV control it you have -5 to 5V control so I’m not 100% on how that translates. Especially because it seems like maybe crow can go negative where teletype can’t?

To be honest I will need to do some more rigid testing, but it looks like everything works over whole possible TT values range. Basically when you communicate through i2c you are sending bytes of data and how they are treated internally (as negative values, non negative etc.) depends on receiving device. What I was doing mostly was to select parameter setting on W/ so the led is showing it’s current value and then I was sending commands from teletype and observing how the light changed.

Sorry for slow responses and development going forward very slowly but I had really awful two past weeks and I am still somewhat trying to shake them off.

No rush or pressure at all, I haven’t encountered any real problems and have been thoroughly enjoying your work on this and am very appreciative. It looks like the crow github pages have the info about how w/ is interpreting the data from ii, but I wasnt sure if it was all exactly the same as teletype. Maybe I can do some more rigorous testing and compare against the crow documentation and try to write up some details on this myself, even (or especially) if its maybe only helpful for me and others coming at it without crow or a deeper understanding of ii.

More importantly, please take care of yourself, take the time you need, and please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help with this or otherwise :slight_smile:

Hello I sat down last night and tried to figure out how to use this
I updated the teletype to the link above
I also updated to w/Synth
Teletype is not acknowledging the new codes
Is there something I’m missing
Thanks

#13

Hi Duksos,

By Teletype is not acknowledging the new codes you mean that when trying to enter something like
W/S.NOTE N 12 V 3 teletype complains that operator is not recognized or that nothing happens?

#14

Yes that’s exactly what’s happening

#15

with respect, which one?

or

#16

Hello no worries
Thanks for the help
Actually Both Teletype complains and nothing happened
But I will try that exact code when I get in front of My machine again tonight maybe I entered it wrong

Hi, could someone share the current TT op for each of these[.
So far i managed to get these to work :

W/S.CURVE curve = W/S.C
W/S.RAMP ramp = W/S.R
W/S.AR.MODE ar_mode = W/S.AR
W/S.PITCH voice pitch = W/S.PV
W/S.VEL voice velocity = W/S.PV

but don’t know the TT op name for the others.
Maybe I’m on the an old op firmware or something :slight_smile:
The one i am using was the one originally posted for w/ synth in an old thread.
I can’t find were that was posted with the list of OP’s used.

UPDATE : sorry i found those original OP’s here and will use those. PS imo - those short names are a lot better than the verboses one’s above

Hi,
The naming is still up to discussion - I just decide to use the more verbose ones in the newer firmware (the one posted in the first post in this topic) so they are easier to decipher when still testing the firmware. Another approach would be to use the verbose ones but also introduce equivalent shorthand aliases.

Hello I’m still lost on the teletype intergration and I’m real excited about it
I’ve tried the commands that were given to me in a previous post teletype is still saying it’s an unknow command
Is there something I’m overlooking ?
On the other hand I can get w/synth to work via abelton and crow and
That’s been awesome
I’m sorry to be a pain I know it’s probably something simple I’m not noticing
Maybe I’m not flashing firmware correctly I’ll try that
In the mean time

#21

If TT doesn’t recognize the commands, then you must be on another firmware. I would start by making sure you downloaded the appropriate firmware, then re-flashing.

Ok thank you
And that is the one at the top of this page ?
Thanks

#23

Yep! The teletype.hex file at the top.

#24

Hello still no luck with the link at the top of the page
It’s not letting me unzip it
I tried to unzip in terminal With no luck
I’m confused
I’ve updated teletype before with no problem
not sure what is going on
Maybe Ill have to wait for an official version

#25

Hi Duksos,
There is a teletype.hex file in top post and you shouldn’t be required to unzip it - it should be installable the same way as official firmware. I am really low on time right now but I will try to check it before the weekend and get back to you.

#26

Thanks no worries
I appreciate everything you do
I will try a different computer I guess

#27

Maybe an easy way to do this would be…

  • download the official TT firmware
  • unzip it to get a folder named teletype
  • replace official .hex file in the TT folder, with the .hex file up top
  • execute/run the update_firmware.command script in the TT folder
