Teletype haiku

Starthief · 2020-01-11T14:29:08.830Z

I’m currently experimenting with a Hertz Donut mk2 alongside a mk3 to decide which I want to keep (if not both). One thing the mk3 does that I miss on the mk2 is a mode where the modulation oscillator quantizes to pleasant FM ratios. So I thought I’d create a tool for Teletype to generate those offsets, so I can turn the Param knob and have it sweep just those clean ratios.

What I do is set green tracking mode, turn the coarse modulation frequency down to 0 and patch CV 1 from Teletype to the V/OCT modulation input. I set TT’s param knob so A is 3, and fine-tune the modulation osc so the ratio light turns green.

M:
A / PARAM 1024
CV 1 PN 0 A

I determined the pattern values by ear:

Studying other people Teletype codes, I came across your haiku and I’ve had to try it. Very nice code!

extracting this from another post: sequence sequencer.
sequence scripts instead of notes!

#I
G.BTX 16 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 16 8
Z 16

#M
G.CLR
G.REC T 0 1 8 -2 -2
L 1 8: $ * I G.BTN.V + T * I Z
T % + T 1 Z

use this with grid or with keyboard in grid visualizer mode. there are 8 rows of 16 columns, representing an 8 track 16 step sequencer. when a step is on it will trigger a corresponding script.

in this demo scripts 1-4 play a note / a chord / a strummed chord (using disting ex with wavetable algo) and scripts 5-8 control the wavetable and filter parameters and delay multiplier on disting ex #2 (running augustus loop delay):

My first Haiku!
Revolves around sending a pattern of bipolar VV values from Txo to the instruo Lúbadh’s speed input.

Assuming the playback speed is set as 0 on the Lúbadh:

VV -260 reverse x4
VV -125 reverse x2
VV -35 reverse x½
VV 35 x½
VV 65 x1
VV 125 x2
VV 260 x4

TO.CV 1 VV P.RND 0
P.N 0; P.L 8; CV 1 V RAND 5
EVERY RAND 5: TR.P 1; TR.P 2
EVERY RRAND 4 6: TO.CV 1 0

A little pattern save/recall haiku for adding to scripts with pattern sequences less than 32 steps.
A trigger to 7 will save step 0-31 of pattern 0 to step 32-63.
A trigger to 8 will replace your current pattern data with whatever was in save bank.
This can be done while the pattern is playing at any time without interrupting anything.

Good for making a sequence, letting it devolve into randomness and then returning to the original sequence. I came up with this for a Q bit bloom style fractalising sequencer I am working on that needed to remember the original sequence while replacing the working pattern with new fractalisations.

#7
P.N 0
L 0 31: J P I; P + 31 I J

#8                                 
P.N 0
L 32 63: J P I; P - I 31 J

Its pretty simple.
Its a loop that sets J as the pattern number at the index of the current loop number.
It then adds 31 to the loop number, and sets the pattern number at this new +31 index to J.
Script 8 does the same but in reverse, taking the number from index 32-63, setting J to that, then taking 31 away from the index number, and setting that pattern number to J.
This can be repeated for up to 3 patterns in 1 script e.g:

#7
P.N 0
L 0 31: J P I; P + 31 I J
P.N 1
L 0 31: J P I; P + 31 I J
P.N 1
L 0 31: J P I; P + 31 I J

But with 7 and 8, this would be 12 lines not 4, and wouldn’t be a Teletype Haiku.

Let’s give teletype its own voice with this totally ridiculous teletype drone haiku! I was hoping to be able to play with this at the teletype live coding event but sadly can’t make it, so here it is for your own fun.

Just mix the four trigger outs as if they were audio. I strongly recommend putting them into a filter first and then oodles of reverb for dronetastic enjoyment.

#M
TR.P 1
EVERY 2: TR.P 2
EVERY 3: TR.P 3
EVERY 4: TR.P 4
EVERY 1000: M! RRAND 1 10

#I
L 1 4: TR.TIME I 1; M! 5

Now you can get rid of all those oscillators in your rack that are taking up valuable HP :-).

This is with teletype as the only “voice” through blades into mimeophon and FX AID:

EDIT: you may find you get different tones out of teletype depending on which screen is showing. It’s part of its charm, I feel. You can also do this with CV outs instead of triggers in order to control the volume of each part of the drone voice, but then it isn’t a haiku. Have fun trying to make it track volts per octave

Fool around with the L values to have the movement shift backwards or forwards.
Change the O.MAX to have the movement wrap around on the previous outputs.

scanner_darkly · 2021-06-01T00:29:47.448Z

is it meant to be L 1 4? unless you use ansible as a teletype expander in which case you can address 8 CV outputs with CV x.

you could also do CV I V % O 4 and play with different increment values.

ParanormalPatroler · 2021-06-01T06:10:37.810Z

I’d say L 1 5 is an optimal starting point as it leaves one “cycle” of the loop out, and allows for the voltage values to dim a bit before the “cycle back” to the beginning. I hope it makes sense, it’s easier to see the effect in practice. Changing it to L 1 4 makes it a shorter cycle and the movement isn’t as gentle, but it still works. Funnily enough an L 1 6 makes the pattern stop, not sure why, the whole thing works in the same optical illusion way that car wheels can seem to go backwards while you’re on the road, some values make the pattern move backwards, so maybe L 1 6 makes it stop.

scanner_darkly:

Good point! Will try it out, seems like a fun thing to try.

scanner_darkly · 2021-06-02T00:41:06.126Z

ParanormalPatroler:

Funnily enough an L 1 6 makes the pattern stop

that’s because there are 6 possible values for O with your O settings, so a loop with 6 iterations will result in O having the same value at the end of the loop as it did before the loop.

Lil simple Haiku Jam that centers on a nice chord (arp) progession being switched a d with a bit of logic for octave jumps.

A single jf voice incrementally switches between 4 patterns of arps-- C, Eb G & Dm7. random seeded logic of the same incremental number determins whether the sequence will be transposed up by up to 3 octaves.

instruo Lúbadh, MAKEN0ISE Morphagene (in Time Lag Accumulation) and Mutable Instruments Clouds (Looping Delay) turn the single voice sequence into a thick melodic blanket.

I’ve recently crafted a little Teletype poem I call the “Brain Age Theme Arpeggioid Generator” to learn how to use the Stack properly.

// M -----------------------
$ 1                          // a clock

// 1 -----------------------
S: TR.P 1; CV 1 N DRUNK      // put a pulse and a CV on the stack
X ADD X 1                    // a typical counter
IF GT X 16: S.POP            // let the carnage begin !!
IF == X 32: S.CLR; X 0       // and stop it.
PROB 5: DRUNK RND 4          // reset DRUNK every once in a while
PROB 50: DRUNK; DRUNK; DRUNK // ( ^з^)ﾉ⌒♥*:･。.

What this does is simple: quietly generate 16 stack commands to drive a voice, drop them all like a payload, rinse and repeat. Kinda like the speed-dial sounding arpeggio in the Brain Age theme, you know the one.

The second I tried the Studies out I instantly fell in love with Teletype and I’ve been slowly working my way to unlock its maximum potential. It really does have no limits as far as I’ve been able to toy with it.

I’ve designed a small 4-verse haiku that’ll turn one of TT’s CV outs into a “Skewable Envelope Generator” (a la 4ms PEG) with some super-fast slewing.

// 1 ---------------------
PARAM.SCALE 0 Z; Z 500     // set Z to desired envelope length
X PARAM; Y ABS - X Z       // put PARAM on X and make Y its inverse, PARAM is now SKEW
CV.SLEW 4 X; CV 4 V 10     // arms slew to attack amount and begins rise
DEL X: CV.SLEW 4 Y; CV 4 0 // after attack is done, arm slew to release time and begin fall

The working of this little script is as follows: First, set PARAM's max value to an envelope length given by Z and make two inversely-related values from PARAM to be used as attack/decay times on X and Y (if one goes up, the other goes down). After this is done, set slew times to the attack/decay rates and switch voltages on/off on time.

This can be a really handy “oh s*** I need an envelope” kinda thing if you have the CV out to spare. You can delete the first line, set Z to a number and X to another number between 0 and the former if you don’t really want to use PARAM. Or h***, go crazy and use IN! The sky’s the limit on this script if you understand it.

Hey everyone, first post here and first published script with Teletype.

I don’t have a hardware version yet but I’m about to fix that next week by DIY-ing a Terminal.
I would never have fallen in love with this thing if it weren’t for the VCV rack plugin and all the awesome youtube videos and threads on Lines! Can’t wait to
try it with my hardware setup.

This script is kinda inspired by the sounds of standing in a grocery store and hearing all of the barcode scanners beeping in random-ish order but I decided to make it a bit more melodic with a Major 7th chord.
Nothing fancy, just really basic random notes quantized and random triggering of gates.

Anyway

Here’s a recording from VCV rack using 4 square waves through low pass gates
Soundcloud link

And here’s the code:

1

CV.SET R N.C 2 0 RRAND 1 7

PROB 60: TR.P RRAND 1 4

PROB 40: TR.P RRAND 1 4

CiDE · 2021-10-17T19:21:52.849Z

There’s this thing I like to do on Teletype that is clocking scripts with M set on a tempo (like a multiple of 120 BPM, for example), then multiplying that speed via probability and stuff.

// M --------------------
M BPM T                   // T is set to a specific BPM, let's imagine it's 120.
PROB 50: T * 120 RRND 1 4 // multiply tempo by a random integer up to 4, sometimes
$ 1; TR.P 4               // idk, clock stuff

This, while it creates some cool ratcheting and funky grooves, you can’t output anything steady off it due to master tempo manipulation. This problem would arise when using up a trigger output for clocking other things like delays and stuff (which is the driving force behind this haiku).

So, while we’re on the topic of clocking delays, some time ago I was doing something similar to this and tried to clock a Chronoblob 2. Needless to say, it was all over the place, so it called for an unsteady groove from a steady one.

Cue this single line:

EV X: $ 1; X RRND 1 4 // yup, groovier than PROB 50:

In the grand scheme of things, this is dastardly simple: every X times, change X and do stuff, not much else to it. But, my mind exploded. I could keep the groovy clocking within Teletype and have a typical clock keeping other things in steady check within a patch. I managed to have my cake and eat it too in terms of generative scripting and delay clocking. It was a revelation to me.

I bring this silly simple little stupid verse here to appreciate how simple things in programming can be so effective, and at times, even mind-expanding.

you will need to use vcvrack teletype to run it (as the vcvrack version can process inputs and outputs at audio rates). trigger script 2 using a square wave from an oscillator running at 8k and make sure to remove the DC offset with a high pass filter:

For this new year’s day
A meng qi wing pinger sings
Of teletype chords

#M
TR.TIME 1 1; TR.P 1; M 200
CV 1 N.CS * 12 Y 4 A B
CV 2 N.CS 0 4 A 1
B + B RAND 3
EVERY RAND 4: Y % + 1 Y 2
EVERY 32: A P.NEXT

The pattern should be filled with scale degrees, which control the chord sequence (here on the dorian mode in C). For this video, I used: 1, 5, 6, 3, 4, 1, 4, 5 (which I think is the Pachelbel Canon sequence. Maybe.). I’m feeding the two CVs to the wing pinger. The bass voice is self oscillating with maximum resonance, the higher arpeggio is also being pinged with the short trigger pulse into its audio input. This should work with any pair of low pass filters, but the wing pinger is beautifully easy to control hands on (and here I’m transposing octaves on the fly using the touch keyboard).

EDIT: whoops… I didn’t realise the scale degrees counted from zero, which explains why this chord sequence sounds so random. Doh! I put it down to a hangover from the night before

#1
A WRAP + A 1 0 15

#2
IF BGET TI.PRM I A: TR.P I

this gives you four 1-knob, 16-step rhythm generators. it steps through the bits of a number (txi knob) and triggers if the bit is 1. really interesting sound… it tends to have breaks and clusters, like the opposite of a euclidean rhythm
you can replace TI.PRM I with any number.
