| What's the best way to encode samples? |

I've never really managed to get decent quality sample playback from my NerdSeq. The samples that are supplied sound great, as do the Sonic Voltage ones.
I've been chatting to some of my other Nerdseq mates, and they haven't managed to converst samples that sound good, either.
What settings should I be using in Audacity on the PC?

| Some Trigger16 ideas |

So far (like 9 months now) I've been using the NerdSeq almost exclusively as a euclidean trigger generator. I mean, 16 trigger channels in such a small package with great visual feedback, what's not to like? Whilst playing I got some ideas that I hope might be useful for this expander. For reference I using firmware V1.21A.
1) Visual indication of the starting point of the euclidean pattern in the drum matrix
Knowing the right cursor position is (currently) necessary because changing the euclidean fill of a pattern overwrites the offset to the current cursor position (which makes absolute sense). This means you have to remember the offset of your pattern if you just want to change the fill, but keep the offset. This is kind of a lot of information to hold in your head if you have 4 or more columns going on (not counting whatever else is going on in your system).
Denoting the first beat/offset of the pattern helps placing the cursor at the right row when you want to change the pattern. Perhaps something like an open square instead of a filled one would already do the trick.
2) Visual indication of the drum matrix triggers in the trigger column view (page 1)
My use case for the trigger column view is to augment generated trigger patterns by, for example, adding ratchets or extra beats on the fly. Currently I have to remember the relevant row number for adding these things (especially when scrolling down, I tend forget the exact number).
It is not a really big issue, since the cursor's row position is maintained when navigating between matrix and trigger views, but that does add a lot of extra back-and-forth going between the pages to make sure you are adding stuff at the right position. Adding some form of visual feedback would really help with maintaining your bearings whilst navigating the columns.
I get that this would be a challenge UI-wise as the column view is already quite packed; perhaps something like a lighter background for the empty cells that have a trigger in the drum matrix or a different symbol (like '==' or '++' instead of '--' for empty cells with drum matrix triggers) could be done?
3) Being able to send the Trigger16 triggers over MIDI
I assume that this request is a bigger one to implement, but this would allow the NerdSeq to easily sequence other equipment over MIDI (stuff like the Roland TR8S, MPC's, or who knows) using the drum matrix and trigger column (I find these way easier to use for triggers than a dedicated MIDI track). It would also allow easy patching to modules with MIDI in (such as the Squarp Rample or 1010music Bitbox) as you would require just 1 MIDI cable rather than 4 to 16 (if you go all out with a Bitbox) regular patch cables which also frees up the Trigger16 output for triggering other stuff in the system (in the same pattern of course).
Perhaps something like being able to assign a MIDI output channel to and (optionally) basenote (like the current PR setting; eg. TR1 being C-0, TR2 C#0 etc.) would be possible?
Thank you for entertaining these suggestions and keep up the good work; I am massively enjoying my NerdSeq! 
PS. Just realized this is my first post! Hi, everyone!

Hi,
I try to make the SPFX00C instruction works in a pattern, but it works randomly in the 64 steps even if I put a BRK000 on steps 8 for exemple.
I want to make randomly jump in only 8 steps.
How I can do that ?
Thanks

| CV16 LFOs |

Is it possible to set up CV16 with LFOs on each output, without dedicating 3 tracks to CV16 tracks?
Doing my best with the manual, it seems like the LFO assignment happens per output on a CV16 track, but you are limited to 6 outputs per track.
Do CV16 LFOs have the same parameters as the automator LFOs, particularly the clock sources, or is the speed always free running? Can an automator be set up to send to a CV16 output?
