Teletouch by Non Verbal Poetry

Teletouch by Non Verbal PoetryTeletouch is an expressive performance instrument designed primarily for the Monome Teletype and Norns systems. Inspired by the long history of touch plate surfaces in synthesis, Teletouch finds ways to add gesture and manual control to modular instruments. An all in one human interface, the copper touch plates output both note and pressure information, over both I2C (duophonically) and USB MIDI (fully polyphonically), the 8 buttons allow for mode

Teletouch can be extremely responsive

and developed by Olivia Artz

This voltage clamping works with Time Machine’s subtle volume normalization to turn complex modulation into original temporal phenomena

Note: This VCA expander works with the OAM Time Machine (DIY and assembled)

Anyone with a Teletype will know that the constant fast polling necessary for an I2C device to trigger note on messages is unviable

Based on midisprout by Electricity for Progress

So the loudness contour of a patch can strum things
