If you mean on the Teletype, then yes you can have scripts which send the TXi inputs to the ER-301 over i2c.

Like @rikrak said but… Without a Teletype… Well I’m not a specialist but I’m sure it’s doable, not with the actual firmware but I’m pretty sure it’s technically possible.

#1055

yeah i think it’s possible to control er-301 directly from telexi. would require an easy firmware mod, and you would need an i2c backpack or txb (something to power i2c).

alternatively like with faderbank you could use teletype to poll telexi values and pass them to er-301.

I mean without the teletype… Just as a direct expander.

#1057

Yes, with a mod of the firmware and additional pull-up resistors on the bus, it would be possible and it’s a great idea. The TXi and TXo use a Teensy like a Faderbank, there’s no reason it wouldnt work imho

#1058

Even if you could, not sure there would be a huge advantage over just using some straight up analog offsets into the 301’s front panel inputs, other than reducing some cable clutter.

One of the big advantages of the TXi and Teletype is that you can do some transformations or decision making on the input values before sending them along to another device like the 301.

Maybe not - but the TXo might be a thing…:thinking:

Do you mean, as ER-301 expanders ?

Yes, I am dreaming of something to emit event related gate or trigger signals from the ER-301 since I have one. Like End of Slice or End of Cycle. It could trigger an event in the modular when a sample has been played to chose the next one for example. Or just to create some self generated music.

I have teletype, but sometime i would just need 4 knobs connected directly to the ER301, without teletype (to save space).

#1064

What he said. :slight_smile:

If you were intrepid, the 16n i2c section would be a great starting point (which was itself derived from the TXi). No promises, but when this sale is over, I probably could whip up a quick alternate version. :slight_smile:

“Well - everything is built, tested, accessorized, and boxed. I have some counting to do and some printing of extra manuals - but, the store will open soon. I’m planning 48 hours of notice. :)”

Announcement coming soon for the date and time for the store to open. I’m planning for the announcement on Saturday-ish … which will have the sale opening on Monday-ish.

Perfect timing! My TT arrives tomorrow. Any ideas on when you’ll start shipping out?

#1067

how deep are the TXO+? is it more than ansible?

#1068

My nerves will be a wreck until I snag a TXb as Raph at Michigan Synth Works is currently building my 16n Faderbank.

I built, tested, accessorized, and boxed everything in advance. Things will ship within a couple of days of placing the order.

Both modules share basic Teletype expansion capabilities. They are also quite different beyond that.

Ansible can do a lot more as a standalone instrument with its various control modes and grid integration. It also is syntactically cleaner as an expander; the basic Teletype commands use it as outputs 5+. It is a great module and a highly recommended add to your modular setup.

The TXo has its own set of commands that extend the Teletype outputs (eg TO.TR.P 1). It also has a bevy of enhanced and experimental commands that add some pretty deep capabilities (oscillation, wavetables, metronomes, envelopes, etc.). The Plus variant (TXo+) ups the sample rate, adds a ton of waveforms, and increases the overall quality when combining multiple functions together (oscillation, envelopes, slew, etc.).

I have a strong feeling there will be plenty TXb. :slight_smile:

thanks for the info! I was wondering the mm deep the unit is :smiley: . Also is the I2C connection near the bottom or top of the unit. Have all my i2c monome modules near the bottom of my intellijel case. So they seem to bunch up near the power connecters. Had to find low profile power cables. The i2c on the ansible seems to compete with the power connections.

Can’t wait for the units though .

Bwahaahaa. I’m so dense sometimes.

According to modular grid, the TXo is 36 mm deep and Ansible is 39 mm.

You can skinny up the Telex if you desolder the female headers and solder the two boards and the Teensy together. This isn’t recommended unless you know what you are doing. Consider your warranty voided regardless. :wink:

TELEX For Sale - Advance Notice

Store Opening on Monday January 28th at 2 PM PST
[ 5 PM EST / 7 AM (Tuesday the 29th) TST (Tokyo) / 10 PM GMT (London) ]

Store URL: http://store.bpcmusic.com/

The following inventory will be added when the sale opens:

  • TELEXo (TXo) Teletype Output Expander
  • TELEXo Plus (TXo+) Teletype Output Expander
  • TELEXo Plus (TXo+) Upgrade (TXo Required)
  • TELEXi (TXi) Teletype Input Expander
  • TELEXb (TXb) Powered i2c Bus Board
  • TELEXn (TXn) 7 Channel Fixed Panner

Quantities are limited; modules will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. Based on expressed interest, the output expanders, upgrades, and panner should go quickly. If you are wanting to purchase any of them, it is highly recommended that you purchase your items at the time of store opening.

Shipping should happen within two days of your purchase.

Thanks for all of the support!!

This was a massive build - nearly 300 pieces. All done by hand. By me. Yikes. Looking back, I radically underestimated my own stamina and the time that I would have available outside of work to move it forward. (Hence all of the terrible estimates.) I’m super-stoked to be finally done and shipping these things out to you all!

I should note, this is very likely the last run of the hand-built TXo and TXi. If I do offer them in the future, they will need to be redesigned for contract manufacture. (I have no plans to do this anytime soon. Let’s see if there is demand.)
