Generative stereo sequencing with Teletype

A bit of improvisation (for better or worse) with a generative sequencer I worked up on Teletype. There are two sequences from Just Friends playing, hard-panned left and right.
The idea behind the sequencer is that I generally find random/generative sequences to get awkward when the same note value is repeated. Obviously being able to repeat the same note is good for traditional composition but I wanted to have more control over it.
So this scene allows me to punch in and write "random" notes into a looping sequence but it also checks to make sure that the new notes are not the same as the preceding and following notes. The range of the random values is determined by the Param knob.
Other than that, I just sort of played around with tempo/timing/loop length and at some point tried to get the sequences to randomly pick the left or right channel (although I messed this part up LOL).
Oh, and the camera SD card got full at the end 🙃

Great job. Amazing sequences and system

So nice!

This is great!

AWESOME.. 🙌🙌🙌

Did you choose the C4RBN just because of its low HP or other features?

[@ModularBeat]

Good question! A little bit of both, to be honest. I was looking for a filter that could work as stereo or mono (in my larger case) and wanted to try this one out before buying 2. It does have some interesting features (saturation, wavefolder, ping in) but I’m still sort of on the fence about it. Sounds a little less smooth than something like Ripples which I had in here previously.

@@ModularBeat _"Sounds a little less smooth than something like Ripples"_ - so it would be my choice. The Ripples is too smooth for me. :)

in this video，teletype is just used for sequencing？ any eg or lfo？ because sound very beautiful 😮

[@ModularBeat]

Yup, just sequencing JF. Unfortunately you can't control JF's envelope/duration using i2c/Teletype/Crow.

Hi @modular beat. Would it be possible to have the script? Thanks in advance.

[@ModularBeat]

Hey I’m refactoring a lot of stuff for some new features but will post an update when it’s ready (hopefully soon!). Thx for your interest.

[@yallerhon]

Love this! Maybe a silly question but how is the Teletype sending notes / gates? I can't see anything connected.

[@ModularBeat]

Thanks! Teletype has a special digital communication protocol called “ii” that lets it send and receive commands from other ii compatible devices! It’s just a little jumper cable that connects Teletype and Just Friends behind the panel. Pretty cool in this case because it turns Just Friends into a polyphonic synth (or 6 independent mono synths) that is super easy to control. You just tell it what note to play and it handles the pitch, envelopes, note stealing, etc…

[@yallerhon]

@@ModularBeat Thank you so much! :)

[@mapa9824]

really dig it! what keyboard are you using?

[@firstandlast4415]

these are mechanical keyboards, check out A mazon for sunzit keycaps.

[@vincentpants]

@@firstandlast4415 can you specify the model? teletype/aleph is really finicky with teensy based keyboards, kb's w/ usb hubs. I can say that neither my hhkbp2 nor my keyboard.io kb work w/ the teletype
