@nonverbalpoetry just added a demo :slight_smile:

@scanner_darkly yeah that was my friends idea I think. She came up w a bunch of rlly interesting ways to implement the features we wanted

Wow! Thanks a lot for sharing this. Harmonies in the rack is always a topic that attracts me a lot. And this is quite a smart solution. It teached me a lot, when I read through the scripts. One thing I stumbled on is, that the first note of each sequence is not being triggered. It is meant to be a 6-note-strum but there are only 5, in both directions, up and down. ItĀ“s maybe, because of the Index-Position in Script 7 and 8. It should reset to a point, before the sequence will start strumming, which would mean, that the first step in Tracker 0 should be unused. Maybe I am wrong!? Thanks

Nice! yes, if thatā€™s true that would be where the mistake is. The PN.I index likely needs to be set to before the first note. Though you shouldnā€™t have to free up the first step of Tracker 0. I believe you can set the index to start at -1 which would make the first note index 0 of patt 0.

A little demo of the virtual Grid and Teletype at work in VCV Rack. Thanks a bunch to scanner_darkly and Michael Dewberry !

Please advise if thereā€™s a better place for this post, Iā€™m mostly a lurker here.

Hi there. I just noticed this grid specific codex topic. I posted this in the teletype code exchange yesterday but itā€™s even more relevant here: > teletype : code exchange - #776 by jroo

Hey Everyone, thank you for all of the wonderful feedback on the last script I posted here as well as my YouTube tutorial videos. Really appreciate it!

Itā€™s been a while since I have posted, but I think itā€™s about time that I share the source code for my latest teletype + grid sequencer. Be aware, the code is messy and still a work in progress, but the sequencer is super fun to play with.

For anyone looking to grab parts of this code to use in their own sequencers I think the only really worthwhile part is the way I use the parameter knob along with buttons on the grid to store values in the tracker (see #8). I found that really convenient both for the code and in use!

Enjoy!

Hi, Iā€™m working on my first teletype script:

JF Omnichord

I bought a Suzuki Omnichord a month ago, but the delivery got stucked due to the pandemic lockdown in Shanghai :frowning: So I made this.
Itā€™s not finished yet, the code is kinda messy and some functionā€™s missingā€¦ but please try it and let me know how do you think!

JF omnichord.txt (1.4 KB)

update:

Just Omnichord V1

Add 4 more 7th chords. CV in to auto harp, or use PARAM knob. And TR&CV out! And a keyboard.

Hi all,

I wanted to share my first grid based teletype script below. I donā€™t have a fancy name for it, but for now I call it PS GRID SEQUENCER (PS meaning pattern selectable). I use it more for generative music, so by changing pattern length, and patterns, one can quickly add quite a bit of variation into the sequence.

Of course, I welcome any feedback on how things can get optimized. Iā€™ll share a second script shortly as well where Iā€™d love to get some feedback on optimizing the script/code.

Cheers,

Daniel

Oh, what a coincidence! I also made a sequencer has something in common.

Itā€™s a start/end location changeable 32-step sequencer with 4 banks and a earthsea style keyboard. You can play keyboard and the sequencer at the same time, easily write the note by holding the step or change tempo with param knob. And different sequencer playback mode in forward, backward, freeze or random.

Itā€™s mostly going with Just Friends, but there are two tr/cv outs for other synth. Unfortunately itā€™s mono and only run one sequencer at a time for now. I thought it would be much cooler if I could make 4 banks into different separate sequencers with different tr/cv outs, but itā€™s too difficult for me to code.

I call it Drawer cause the left part looks like a school desk I used when I was a kid.

DRAWER (SEQ + KEY)

DESKTOP (UPPERLEFT 8X4)

Hey friends, hereā€™s my chord sequencer and arpeggiator called Minim.

I figured Iā€™d take this opportunity to finally learn how to use GitHub (Iā€™m decidedly not a developer) so the scene and further info is hosted there. Hopefully I did it right.

This really is an extraordinary piece of design even if it werenā€™t somehow magically fit within the constraints of TTā€™s code space. Really fantastic and inspirational!

I did have a little worry about your use of stackcables to combine triggers thoughā€¦ I would be careful about recommending that in general because youā€™re also sending voltage to an output which may be risky depending on your trigger source. Really it would be safer to use a mixer for that purpose I think. (Would be good to hear from folk who know about the electronics than I do whether this is safe in the particular case of teletypeā€™s trigger outs.)

Thx! I shared your concern and inquired about this on a separate thread where I believe desolationjones confirmed that there are current-limiting resistors on the TT trigger outs.

FWIW, I believe the concern here is not actually with sending more voltage downstream as the voltage of two sources combined like this gets averaged. Rather, itā€™s the potential for current to flow to a moduleā€™s output when it may not be designed for such a thing.
