Actually, I do have a plan to cover these. I already have some of the content for it, and what I was planning to cover was pretty much as you described - using binary operators to get more for your storage buck.

I will probably do TXo next. Then maybe the next one after that will be the binary ops. The main challenge with binary is trying to explain it thoroughly enough without it getting overly long and boring. :wink: But I’ll figure something out.

Yeah that’s exactly what I was trying to explain with my poor English haha.

Ah I’m glad it’s already on the map for a future video. Thank you very much ! :slight_smile:

P.S: and also looking forward to learning more about the TXo, I have three TXo+ :wink:

first of all, just want to say thanks so much for making this video @EqualTemperament, really appreciate your work on this. i’m still in the very early stage of using teletype, and learned so much from your videos.

i just re-watched the episode 1, then i was curious about this DEL.R ops, but couldn’t find it on the teletype documentation (teletype.pdf and cheatsheet.pdf). and when i saw the teletype github, turns out it just been added to the recent version 3.1.0, and there’s also new ops DEL.X, and many more added.
so how do you know how to use this new ops? any documentation or link that i can look up to?

thanks

This is something I’ve planned to bring up is that there are just so many different places where the docs reside. It can be tough to keep track of it all or find what we want.

This is where I look for beta features or ops that might be in the current release but not yet in the docs.

There’s some truth to that especially if you want to keep up on the very latest additions. There have definitely been some efforts to make it better/easier lately though.

Hi Joe! Any news on the telex expander tutorial? Would love to learn how to use mine as a wave table osc!
I know im sorry to be greedy :slight_smile:
Thanks a lot for your videos!

It has been on my mind that I haven’t gotten back to this for a while. Hoping to get one out really soon here!

Chiming in to also thank you for these videos. They have been integral to my Teletype dive. I also agree that they have a pleasant ASMR quality!

Hello friends, Episode 5 is up! Apologies for the long delay since the last episode.

This is a fairly deep dive into the ecosystem, making use of all 8 outputs on the TXo, all 4 INs and all 4 param knobs on the TXi. This is all used to control 4 voices on the ER-301 via i2c.

You can substitute other oscillators/voices using the standard analog CV and TR outs if you don’t have an ER-301, or JF might work well here too over i2c.

The top post has been updated with the script as well as the ER-301 chain that I used. Time code is on the Youtube video directly.

This is a bit of a complex patch. I hope I was clear in the explanation but as always feel free to ask questions.

Episode 6 is up.

This episode covers some of the bitwise (binary) operators, and we use them to sequence an entire drum kit using only one pattern.

We also create a sophisticated grid ops controller to program the beats in real time, and even be able to copy/paste beat sequences between 4 memory locations for real time recall.

Check the top post in this thread for the completed scene as well as the ER-301 drum kit chain and sample files.

Here’s the Binary Beats Google Sheet Template used in the video.

I have neglected my teletype and I need to watch these. These have been on my watch list for weeks! Thanks for your hard work. Can’t wait for more.

The purpose of these videos isn’t to sell Teletypes (or related modules), but I’m glad to hear it’s having that effect. I know when I bought mine, it was a bit of a leap of faith. It was hard for me to connect the dots between the documentation and what you could actually accomplish with one in your case.

Of course I have no regrets on my purchase decision, and Teletype is a central part of my modular workflow now. I use it in almost every patch. Sometimes for something quite complex - other times for something very simple.

Thanks again for this wonderful series! This one immediately cleared up some confusions I’d had that had blocked me from developing scripts with grid ops.

Thanks for a great video (not quite finished watching it yet). I’ve been using binary encoding of beats in a bit similar way for a long time, great to see another approach!

I noticed that you “only” have 15 columns, I imagine because the maximum integer value on the teletype is 32767 (1111 1111 1111 111). But you can in fact use 16 binary positions, because the teletype wraps around, so the next number after 32767 (1111 1111 1111 111) is -32768 (1000 0000 0000 0000). It’s a bit fidly, so I made a python script to convert for me.

NB: Not to steal your thunder, but I’ve made a github repo with all my scenes (teletype is my only sequencer), complete with patch notes and links to the corresponding video on my youtube channel where I perform each of the tracks. I’m not good at studying other peoples stuff myself, but at least there’s some info available that might help someone to connect a few dots. Fair warning: To modular people I normally (cheek-in-tongue) say I make pop-music, since I like a strong melody, harmonies, key-changes and song-like structures, although I have a weak spot for odd meters. I’ve been through a few sequencers, and the teletype is the first one that allows me to think about music however I want.
