Is it possible now somehow or at some future time to use a qwerty keyboard with the NerdSeq? I think it would make the workflow drastically faster and super fun to program.

I saw your interview about the video expander. I was wondering whether it is going to have a composite output.

Thanks for all of your tremendous work so far!

The Nerdseq has just arrived at the studio, this is my configuration for Live.
I'm waiting for the Gate and CV extensions, a fanstastic sequencer!
I just made the first patch, it is evolving really crazy ...




   
   

When using an external clock, it's easy to "insta-pause" the NerdSeq by just stopping the external clock.  Step stays where it was until the clock starts again.  

When the NerdSeq is clock master, the only way I know to "stop playing right now" is Shift-Stop, which resets the step to start of pattern. 

Is there a way to stop the NerdSeq clock immediately, such that it can be restarted without  resetting the step to 0?

Are individual expander outputs assignable to a modular track? If not now, is this something that can be implemented in the future? I've read the manual pretty carefully and don't see this feature listed. I have all three expanders and love nerdseq, but when I'm making a track and want to sequence complex modulations from the CV16 outputs I have to use two separate tracks and get lost going back and forth between tracks trying to remember which steps to place values or envelopes on. So for instance, I'd like to assign four or five of the expander outputs to modular track one where my note values and trigger inputs are place . This is important because using one track for trigger values and another track for cv values gets confusing and slows down the process a lot. Is it or will it be possible to make expander outputs directly available within the modular/melodic track screen? This would also help because giving up one track for the trigger expander and one track for the cv expander leaves me with four tracks to write music on and most of the time I only need a few of the extra triggers or cv outputs, and other times it gets confusing trying to remember which trigger and which cv values go with which musical track since they are all lumped into one trigger track or one cv track. Thank you

Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue here, my nerdseq doesn not found my MIDI/PAD Expander at all.
I updated to the last firmware hoping this will resolve the issue but no luck.
I also did a NSA scan (even thou my expander is plug to its own midi/pad plug), also nothing.
Rebooted, restarted.... what am I missing here ?

Thanks !

EDIT: the expander IS working even thou the Nerdseq seems to consider rhe MIDI/PAD expander as a... not expander ?

I noticed that there are limited settings for inputs 1 - 4 for both live and recording. For example: users can assign Sample track 7 pitch, gate, sample select, etc but sample track 8(along with tracks 5 and 6) is not an option. There also seems to be more options for input 1 - 4 recording. Is it possible to assign inputs 1 - 4 to all of the tracks?

I've set most of my projects up to use track 6 as a kick(sending pitch CV/gate, trigger and mod to a drum module) and then use tracks 7 and 8 for snare/hi hit/claps samples - the setup works really extremely well for me but I'd love to spice up these tracks using inputs 1 - 4 as precision adder/or function so that in coming cv signals from say a Turing Machine could be added to an existing pattern for doing more interesting rhythms/melodies/modulation etc.

I'm loving the Nerdseq as both a writing and performance tool for modular and one of the reasons I bought it is to use the gamepad with it. I was a little disappointed to see the only functionality the gamepad feature has is emulating the shift and arrow keys but I'm hoping to see more features in the future...

While I have several Sega controllers a hand, I also have a set of Atari 2600 controllers which use the same port size and comm protocol, and(while being limited by the number of buttons) they do in fact work with the Nerdseq. What I'd really like to do is to use the Atari's joystick as an XY pad to control things like pitch bend, modulation rates, track fx etc in real time. Not only would this be a lot fun to perform with, it would also be pretty cool for audience members to see during a live set. In general, I'd like to set the functions of each button and the X and Y of the data from the gamepad port to whatever I like.


Is this something that can be implemented?

in firmware ver 1.21 A:

I noticed that pitch bend using a MIDI controller(in my case an Arturia Keystep) only works when MIDI Channels are set as track input only and not when set as track record. Is there a reason for this? 

I'm also a little confused why there are 2 different modes when sequence patterns are in play mode by default and when you want to record, you have to use the record mode. Wouldn't it be simpler to just have the Input mode and just enable recording tracks when the user set the track to record mode?

If I press SHIFT + CURSOR UP or SHIFT + CURSOR RIGHT in the value part of an FX in a table when no FX has been selected the value goes to FFFF instead of FFF.  The last F seems only a graphic glitch, the real values is FFF.

I'm with 1.21A.
