I’m fairly certain due to the rapid evolution of Ansible and Teletype that there are many people who’d continue learning a lot more about these devices with updated video tutorials. Considering how beneficial it is to the entire Monome ecosystem when other become involved with updating firmware and documentation, I’d like to think those efforts draw more users and more contributors. Should you make a thorough look at Kria, you’ll be adding to the body of knowledge and likely pull yet more people who’ll become curious about these tools. So I wholeheartedly implore you to please make all the videos you can that are Monome related as your deep dives are beautifully detailed and incredibly informative.

I would love to see this. As I mentioned yesterday, I was surprised to learn of the new Ansible/Kria features as I haven’t been following the beta threads. Would be fantastic to see all that is possible now with Kria especially in the context of the larger i2c ecosystem. I really appreciate all your work here and on the ER301 forum.

I’d love to see this. I struggle with the documentation and learn a lot from trying to replicate what I see others do.

I feel bad asking for further stuff, but is there a chance you could do a video using the TXo as a 4 voice synth? It would be cool to see how one might use the Scene ports + the TXi Ins to generate a multi voice synth.

Alternatively, if someone knows where I might find some comprehensive breakdown or how to, that would be great!

I’ll put that on my list.

This would be great. I’ve probably got an 80% understanding of Kria, but would love to see a complete tutorial to fill in the gaps.

i think people will be surprised about all the new stuff and updates that have been done to Kria in the last 6 months. All the main feature requests, going back years, have now been implemented. The icing on the cake is now sequencing of JF / er301 / Teletype via i2c from inside Kria.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Looks like some Ansible talk might be in my future.

For now, here’s Teletype Talk Episode 7. By popular demand, this one covers using the TXo as a four voice synth. Also some fun with the TXo’s four independent metronomes, and some self-patching.

Just as a quick question, in response to your exploration of the waveforms; You are working with a TXo+, correct?

#90

Mine is the original TXo. (No +)

Oh! Gosh, thats many more waveforms than I remember the TXo having! Thanks for that. I guess I’ll go through and explore the rest of them much like you did yours.

Thanks again!

Episode 8 is up. This one covers some new teletype v3.2 features - primarily the NR op.

The first seven or so minutes are explain how to use the scene for anyone who would just like to download the it (see top post) and use it as a way to get familiar with NR.

The rest of the video we build the scene line by line. Some new concepts (for this series) in here including:

  • grid ops faders and groups
  • using the grid object as a storage device

A couple of retrospects on Episode 8.

  • I’m not sure I explained the fader type as well as I wanted to - why fader type 0 was my choice for the faders in this script. For more info on this, have a look at the grid operators github page @scanner_darkly put together. It lists out all of the available choices for fader type.

  • In the metro script, we used a global variable X to store the last known value of the param knob for comparison to the current value. I believe metro also has its own local variables I, J, and K. We probably could have used one of those locals and conserved a global. The variable is not used by any other scripts. Maybe not a big deal since we still had plenty of globals available. On the other hand, there are two empty scripts left in this scene, and all of the patterns are empty! So there’s room to add more to this scene.

I just started watching Joe’s video series. Excellent so far!

Do new teletypes from monome.org come with the i2c board/connectors?

Are they in stock at monome.org now?

Thanks.

The newer revision of Teletype has 2 I2C headers. There is no additional board required, and further devices on the I2C bus are typically daisy chained.

The older revision of Teletype needed an additional pull-up resistor “backpack” board to help stabilize the I2C bus.

Meaning the newer versions are less reliable?

#101

No, quite the opposite. Pardon the unclear phrasing.
