Hey again everyone,
I just wanted to hear some personal testimonies and experiences (good and bad) with the Monome Teletype. It’s a pretty big investment (in both HP and price), but honestly I’m absolutely fascinated in what it offers and I haven’t seen anything else quite like it. Adding live coding into a modular system seems like an incredibly unique creative tool that I would love to explore with the rest of my modules as I grow my small but personal system. Before I pay off our lord @tehn, I just wanted to hear straight from my fellow Lines members on why you all love your Teletypes. Audio/Video examples are totally welcome. :slight_smile:

For me, what elevates this unit to a different level is how it integrates with the monome system. The level of feedback and joy from that interaction is sublime. It forces me to rethink my approach to composition. While some modules focus on instant gratification, the teletype appeals to those who prefer delayed gratification. It’s more of a marination than a flash fry.

In Eurorack your medium is voltage. Teletype will generate the precise voltage you want in precisely the timing and manner you want it to.

Sometimes typing a bit of text is the fastest and most direct way to express a relationship between multiple values. Being able to do this with control voltage is sublime.

Precision and architecture. Teletype (+ now the Aleph as I just got one) is my cornerstone not only for the trilogy modules, but my entire cv setup.

i’ll echo what the others have said and add: memory. instant recall of sequences, i/o routing & monome module presets (via i2c) makes preparing live sets suuuuuuper fun.

Would you say the i2c is an essential addition to the Teletype? I haven’t done much research on it to be quite frank. Thank you all for your comments, they certainly have helped!

It’s not essential, but for my needs it’s the cornerstone of my interaction with the module. When dealing with simplified minimal interfaces, there are many decisions that have to be made for the sake of clarity and ease of use. Allowing teletype to reopen doors closed by hardware is huge for me.
