thanks! glad you liked it :slight_smile: i have not tried using ansible/kria as leader. so i can’t speak to that directly. i use teletype as the heart of pretty much everything i do with the modular and all my hardware really. so this way of working makes sense to me. i might try that with a tiny portable case though – saving the space yet still being able to use just friends as a synth would be great…

I know my way around TT pretty well now (especially in the context of JF) but I always appreciate the patch from scratch vids! Like @Justmat said there are always a million ways to do things so I feel like there’s always a few things to learn. I’d have never thought in a million years I’d be making music this way but TT and its expanders have become an integral part in my system as well.

Nice patch too :slightly_smiling_face:

You have an interesting idea here. I have to try this way.
In my case of composing I like control TXo JF and all my other i2C gear with Ansible leader mode. It’s pretty easy, but I am not able to send message with teletype. Your way can be a solution. Smart :+1:

the monome teletype ecosystem has changed the way i think about composing music. i know for me that if someone posts some little tidbit of code that i would have never thought of it usually leads somewhere interesting. that’s the beauty of the way this works. a million ways to do something. and jf just sounds sooooo good.

So, I’m giving this a whirl but can’t get JF to make any sound. My setup differs in that I don’t have a TXo. So I’m sending triggers into TT with Pam’s, and have omitted the TXo specific portions of code. What else might I be doing wrong?

JF is in sound/transient mode, with the knobs more or less at noon.

Also, FWIW, when I reboot and put Ansible in leader mode, it works just fine. So the i2c connection is solid between those two. I assume that the connection between TT and JF is solid, but is there any way I can double check via TT?

Edit: I had forgotten jf.mode 1 which confirms that it is time for sleep :slight_smile:

Thank you for sharing this. What you made was lovely.

I have gone back and forth about ordering a TT. I’m waiting for a restock of JF and 3Sis (and also grid) and am currently looking into using TT without these… more studying and research to do, but you have brought me back around. Thank you for that.

yeah it is so often something simple. also i usually use ansible to send the triggers to tt for this. i only used the TX0 to get the tuplet / individual metro thing going.

so
JF.MODE in live mode or maybe the I page
then
JF.VOX 1 KR.CV 1 V 5 on page 1
then plus the trigger out from kria on track one into input one on tt and you should be good to go. the first output of jf should respond to whatever note/trigger info you have on that track.

well thank you very much, really appreciate the kind words and i am glad you liked it and found it useful :slight_smile: this whole ecosystem is amazing. there is a bit of a learning curve for sure but well worth it in my opinion. one way to dive in headfirst, which is what i did. i made a small system with NO other voltage sources. this way you have to do everything on tt and before long you can do stuff super fast!

That’s really nice. BTW, the comment at 1:15 has the wrong param for the third voice :wink:

So not only did I learn something new about Teletype JF coding, but I also see that I’ve missed some interesting updates to Kria.

thanks! glad you got something out of it! and yes the typos. . . sorry about that. i will add the correction in the description :slight_smile:

Just popping in to say; This video has really really inspired me. I am so excited to try some of what you’ve built here and I honestly GREATLY appreciate the work you put in to this. It is so simple, elegant and informative.

Only thing I would ask is that you consider potentially making more!!! :smiley:

Oh wait! I’ve found more of them! Awesome! You rule!!!

Just finishing building my Teletype, looking forward to watching this again with the ability to try follow along. Hope my lack of TXo isn’t too problematic.

David,

What does your little system you mentioned, consist of?

It was this system.

I just got my Just Friends today, so I thought i’d give following this along a shot as I’ve seen it before and thought it was so awesome.

All is well until I try to get the tuplets going, in this case, I don’t have a TX0 so I was using TR.P1 / TR.P2 / TR.P 3 / TR.P 4 in the M script to send these triggers to scripts 1-3, when I try to trigger script 8 (using Trigger 4), it contains the following code

X RND 11
TR.P 3 MUL 3 X

but nothing is happening, TR.P 3 continues to trigger as usual. I’m new to teletype so i’m sure this is something really simple/obvious, or something i’m doing wrong because i’m not using a TX0 but if anyone has any ideas that would be great as i’d love to get this going in the same way and then experiment with it further :slight_smile:

Well I am glad you liked the video!!! But to the best of my knowledge the only way to do the tuplet part is with the TX0 as that has individual metronomes which is how you can achieve the tuplets. Teletype on its own has only the single one. Again, tt is vast and likely there is a way to do this sans TX0 I am just not sure how you could do it :slight_smile:

And congrats on Just Friends! Such a great module.

Thanks David! I will continue to explore and see what I can discover :slight_smile:

Are you trying to ping trigger 3 between 0 and 33 times? Or are you trying to ping it at a different rate than your metro?

In either case, DEL.R X TIME:... would probably help. Triplets for example:

DEL.R 3 / M 3: TR.P 3 (fire three pings on trigger 3, spaced by 1/3 of M rate)
