Episode 3 is up. This episode adds features to the scene we created in Episode 2. You can download the scene as it was at the end of Episode 2 (as well as at the end of 3) from the top post.

Timecode
00:00 Episode Overview
01:54 Quick run through of the modular patch
04:00 Interacting with the scene with Live mode
06:47 Adding a trigger sequencer
17:40 Trigger sequencer with CV control over volume
25:06 Trigger sequencer with Probability
29:50 Refactoring the reset script
32:13 Coding the reset function to an Ansible button

Edit: Probably worth mentioning that the Ansible ops for Teletype expander mode are in the Ansible documentation.

Thanks again for these videos Joe. It’s great to see how you’re using teletype. Thanks for the regular releases!

Can’t wait to watch and get back into my neglected TT!!

Just popping on here to give @EqualTemperament my thanks for these videos. I’ve done a fair bit of teletype programming so wasn’t sure if I’d get much out of some videos that start from scratch, but I was so wrong! It’s amazing how watching someone else’s thought processes in building a scene has given me loads of ideas (and some neat unexpected tips). Brilliant stuff! You’re a born teacher.

These vids have also been very helpful and illuminating for me, thank you for taking the time to do them.

I do have one critique, which is also entirely unrelated to the subject matter, and that is that it sounds like you’re saying metronone instead of metronome. :wink:

It’s quite possible that I was! Thanks for pointing it out.

00:57 Target Module Selection and Why
02:50 Configuring for -5 to 5V
04:22 Using the PARAM knob to determine required voltages
07:35 Acquiring voltages automatically
14:15 Putting some buttons on the grid
19:22 Responding to grid events
24:47 Scanner Darkly 2-1 Module
25:39 The keyboard controller on the grid hardware
26:20 An additional modulation with the TXo
31:02 Review and Conclusion

wow great timing!
I just finished building a pair of txo’s and txi’s :slight_smile:
i was looking into the docs yesterday and was quite confused. Bet this will clear things out!
Thanks again for taking the time and effort to make this videos, they are a deep source of information and great for learning!
ps: Any telexi and grid ops planned for the future?
Gracias!

I didn’t go very deep at all into TXo in this one. Sure, if there’s interest, happy to take a deep dive on any of those.

Happy for deep diving anything to do with it… It is all a learning experience.

would highly appreciate a deep dive on the txo :slight_smile:

Just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. So informative! I’ve been using the Teletype for a while now but still have learned so much from your videos.
.
The best!

Brilliant, once again! Adding text on screen with the syntax of the ops while you’re talking was really helpful (and I really appreciate that you leave in your mistakes too - helps to show that programming is mostly puzzling over why something doesn’t work!). Looking forward to the next episode!

I just want to thank Joe for these videos. I have been thinking about getting a teletype for a long time but I’ve been a bit intimidated by the complexity. Joe’s videos have conviced me to give it a shot. Now I have ordered a Teletype and I’m super excited
Thank you Joe.
I hope there will be many more videos.
:grinning:

I would also express my interest in learning more about TT + TXo. For now, I just use Polyearthsea with TXo, mainly due to my lack of understanding of how to use it via TT.

Also, thank you for all your work on these! I find myself unexpectedly learning more about the TT and strategies to solve weird technical hurdles. I don’t know how many times I’ve thought out loud while watching your videos, “Oh, you can do it that way?!”

I’m glad you’re finding them useful. It was your comment in another thread in particular that was the spark for this series. :slight_smile:

TXo is definitely on my list. Based on the enthusiasm for it, thinking I might feature that in the next episode.

An idea/request for a future video maybe, it’s kind of a selfish request I’m sorry… but could you talk about the bitwise operators please ? (I haven’t seen the latest video yet so I hope you didn’t mention them already…)
:slight_smile:
I don’t understand how to use them at the moment but I have the impression that they’d be useful for building a complex sequencer combined with the 4 patterns available. I mean that instead of storing only 0 and 1 (or other values) like I’m used to do in the 256 cells available, there might be a way to store larger integers and use them properly in the scripts (idk ? Pardon my newbiness :D) . I think I’m missing something and I’m not using these 4 patterns at the maximum of their possibilities. Something like storing 2 CV values and the state of a trigger in only one cell of one pattern ? :thinking: Do you think it’s possible with Teletype ? Do to think one cell of a TT pattern can be used as an array of multiple values ?
I know you’re a great teacher so maybe you have the answer :slight_smile:

Thanks again for sharing these videos!

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.
