learning a lot as i explore.

my big questions are:

slew implementations? can i do slew at all?

quantization. i get the bumping around of pitches in normal editing per cv out (a/b), but when i go to try and change the quantization setting by hitting top right then bottom left, it starts copying the one note to all steps, thereby erasing my sequence and not getting me to the change quantization scale page. surely i am doing it wrong but i keep getting the same results and no change to quantization.

The ‘quantization’ (or scale) selection is only active in CV ‘Map’ mode. You need to enter map mode by holding ALT (top-right) and pressing a CV channel selector in the top row (see: ‘CV Map’ section near the bottom of this: http://monome.org/docs/modular/whitewhale/).

Once you’ve entered this mode you should hear an ascending scale if you have the CV output attached to a 1v/8ve oscillator input. You can then choose your scale by holding ALT and pressing the bottom-left key to display the scale options.

There is no slew available for the WW’s CV outs.

thank you sir!

slew seems like it would be really fun and i am guessing it could be implemented fairly easily. i would request it if requests were being fielded for future firmware versions. like maybe a slew page so a per step slew amount or even just a global slew amount and a toggle for on/off per step.

is it possible to have 1v/o cv outs be different row lengths. like a 6 beats long and b 9 beats long? i would also request that possibility as no better reason than poly-rhythms elevate the soul and i bet it could be fairly easily implemented.

Even with WW, I was eyeing Metropolis for a while. Then there was Teletype. I do realize that the addition of an MP and TT to the WW would be awesome.

Would a Metropolis be a nice complement at all, for clock and performance, in addition to the WW? There are some workarounds for a reset on WW, I guess. Just trying to get to grips with wether the complexities of event generation in TT outweighs the fun of knobs and sliders.

How much of Teletype’s allure lies in the retro fun of command lines, and how practical is it? Coming from a non-coding background, I’d like to understand how practical TT is. Many thanks.

Would it ever be possible to multiply or divide the external clock coming into the WW and have independent tempos on the trigger outputs?

oh my do i love the idea of implementation of clock mult/divide (and potential slew on cv outs). those would be huge, and would nudge into great usability while i think keeping sequencer intuitiveness intact.

Ha! Have a sketch with that functionality amongst others… To be seen how far summer project will progress…

I’m guessing this didn’t get implemented? Would be amazing I think. I also wondered, is there a way to set the bpm of WW precisely using Teletype ?

#16

i did work on clock div/mult but wasn’t able to implement it to my satisfaction. slew would be cool, but it doesn’t support it right now (you could use one of the gate outputs and an external slew limiter as a workaround).

teletype/ww don’t have a remote op for clocking, but you could just use BPM op on teletype to set the metro script rate, then use one of the trigger outputs on teletype to clock ww via its external clock input.

Thanks for that. Appreciative

#18

On reflection… it’s such a shame to loose a precious trig out on the TT for simple clocking. WW’s clock out serving as a master clock on behalf of TT would just be ideal. Is this feasible do you think?

#19

You could wrap it the other way. Use WW as master clock (now you have a dedicated knob!) and send it to a trigger input on TT. Yes, you sacrifice a trigger input on TT, but it means you get to use TT’s metro independently of the WW clock.

#20

I thought about that, however for my purposes I would loose the ability to set a precise bpm.
Perhaps I’m alone in thinking this would be incredibly useful.

Another up shot of it being a remote op, IF the aforementioned clock div/mult was also able to be implemented, you would be able to clock WW remotely AND use WW’s clock out in a highly performative manner. This seems brilliant to me.

#21

yeah, having a ww clock op would be useful either way. i might add more remote commands for all of the trilogy modules and ansible at some point in the future and if that happens i’ll add this as well. probably not with clock div/mult though.

Ace, Thanks for hearing me.

#23

I wondered if there is any appetite to add this clock op for whitewhale? (Indeed i would love to see a clock op too for ansible cycles and MP).

#24

my plate is pretty full right now, if somebody else has the desire to look into this i’ll be happy to help!

When the WW (v1.5.0) is in Series Mode, is it possible to fully reset the mode back to the very first step?

The docs say to hold ALT + leftmost column which does cut to the top position, but it waits until the last sequence has been fully played out. I want the next clock tick to start at position 1 of the first series.

Same question as @AtomStates. I have a few patterns stored in series on a White Whale that I like to sync with a with a sequence on Ansible running Kria, and a TT using a tracker (everything is connected via i2c). I usually sync on TT with Sync 0; WW.Sync 0; Kr.Res 0 0, but I get weird results on the White Whale. Kria and TT patterns sync up just fine with this. But White Whale is usually out of phase with TT and Kria. I have to exit series mode, run the sync script again, and time my button pressing right while I re-enter Series mode to get things to sync correctly. If it don’t time it perfectly while I get back into Series mode, the sequence on White Whale plays a few steps, then restarts at the beginning of the sequence causing it to be out of phase again. If that happens, I exit Series mode and try again. Is there a feature I’m overlooking in Series mode?

Hey people, i’m totally a newb about Monome world… i found a WW for sale and i would like to buy it, but the version is 1.2 and i think i would have to update it in case i’ll decide to buy it, which is the upgrading procedure for WW and where can i found the firmware?
Thanks
