~desolation:stage i : vcv rack jam $teletype $rings $plaits $stages

This is one of my older patches, from when I had just discovered Teletype. There are going to be a few more jam reuploads from early 2024 this week, and then I will start uploading new stuff. These patches were important for my progress and my attitude towards modular synthesis, so I want to keep them here as a memory.
In this patch, I’m using Teletype as a tracker. It creates 4 CV sequences which are merged by MS4 and go to Plaits through a slew limiter. All 4 sequences are of different lengths (you can see this closer to the end of the video in the Teletype window), so the Plaits pattern becomes more evolving and generative. I’m also sending the 4th sequence directly to the Rings CV input to create an additional voice using the sympathetic string model.
Marbles acts as a clock for Teletype, Rings strumming, and periodic delay modulation - a trick that I use in every second patch (high-pitched ratcheting sounds every few bars).
The heart of this patch and the main performative tool is Stages. I’m using it to create an LFO that triggers an AD envelope, which triggers Plaits (I don’t know why I used the trigger input instead of the level input, but it works fine in this case anyway).
Unfortunately, I don’t have this patch anymore because it has evolved into another (as you might guess from the video title), so I’ll leave the Patchstorage link to the last iteration of it in the next video.
If you have any questions about this patch, feel free to ask in the comments!

Very cool!
The Teletype to me is a big mystery...

Yeah! I've decided to start with Monome Grid & Ansible for now because the 240-page manual for Teletype scares me.. But I've seen so many cool jams with Teletype on UA-cam (especially on the Modular Beat channel) that I definitely want to figure it out!
