Is the list of projects in the Load Menu supposed to be in alphabetical order? It seems like sometimes it is, but other times it may be split. Currently my list is E thru Z followed by A thru E. Another thing, when I look at the files on my computer, they all have a modify date of July 6, 2061. Is that expected?
I'm happy again to finally present you a new Firmware release V1.18 with many new features, improvements and some fixes.
This was a unplanned update, but as the expanders took longer than expected i decided to release it already.
Some important information before you update:
- make a backup of your SD Card and especially of your projects
- Old Projects from V1.17 and older can simply be loaded with the new version. Projects are not full downward compatible. So they might be some oddities if for expample saved with V1.18 and loading it with V1.17.
- All projects saved with the V1.18 release candidates are full compatible with the new version!
Here is a list of all the changings, in case you didn't check the Release Candidates yet:
Fix for the case when loading another project while one was playing which could cause a 1 BPM tempo. Sequencer stops now when loading another project.
fixed bug in tables where a table in track 6 could cause trigger 1 to trigger
changed in MOD column instead of using OK to switch between note and MOD values. Need SHIFT+OK from now
Added prelisten function for MOD column now using the OK button. If both MOD - note and Note are filled in, then 2 notes can be prelistened.
Bugfix: Delete marked Trigger changed MOD values next to it
Bugfix: Midi recording if note on and off was on same step, then now a trigger of F0 is filled in instead of a note-off
Added: Sample preview (In sample browser SHIFT + LEFT for output 7 and SHIFT + RIGHT for output 8, press again to stop pre-listening). Also very long samples (as in 'minutes') can be previewed, and that all also while playing (Is overruling the current sample track).
Added: Preview of already loaded sample slots (SHIFT + LEFT for output 7 and SHIFT + RIGHT for output 8)
Bugfix: Basenote from patches works now
Added: Patch to FX columns
Added: Table to FX columns
Updated: Patches always update all inserted values for local CV/Gate tracks
Fix: BPM display matches the actual timing now.
Updated: Live change values when editing patches removed
Updated: Removed support for 24bit and 32bit Wavefiles. All standard PCM (non compressed) 8/16 bit Mono/Stereo wavefiles are supported.
Added: DINSYNC Clock input (through clock and reset input)
Added: Note plays when holding OK button and walking up/down -> Plays notes while browsing
Added: For samples: Note plays + note browsing as well
Added: Compact Sequencer function (SETUP SCREEN) Cleans up unused patterns and releases them again for new use
Added: Superslow automator lfo speed mode
Changed: Range for LFO better resolution (more fintuning for lower ranges)
Added: Record from CV route to outputs directly, so you can hear what you record directly
Fixed: Edit was still possible on some places even though edit was turned off
Added: If Edit mode is OFF, allow live use of OK button in sequencer screen to temporary jump to the same step of another pattern (SHIFT+OK for the row)
Fix: Fixed external start of pattern/row (through Midi or DINSYNC with shift button starts whole row, without shift only the 'selected' pattern)
Added: Load / Save sampleblock. Allows to load and save all sample slots into / from a file.
Added: Load sampleblock directly from sequencer (LSMP fx command on sample tracks) for 'nearly' seemless replacement of all samples.
Bugfix : When deleting marked values in the pattern screen with shifting up and something was filled in in the MOD column, the NerdSEQ could possibly crash.
Bugfix : When after power on, playing the first sample + retriggering + probability could cause a crash.
To update the Firmware, put the firmware file (possibly right mouse/ save as) into the firmware folder on the SD-Card (after doing a backup) and on power up (or reset) hold these buttons: SHIFT + COPY + CURSOR_UP until the NerdSEQ enters the Firmware upgrade mode. If it starts booting into the NerdSEQ normally, try again. If it says it couldn't find the SD-Card or any other error: Keep holding the buttons, it will work the next time for sure.
Follow the instructions on the screen to update to V1.18. After updating, check if the new version is V1.18!
In case of trouble, follow the firmware update site: https://forum.xor.eu/showthread.php?tid=4
I will add the firmware to the Website this evening, in case you don't want to register to the forum.
Now get it, have fun and spread the word!!!
Peace!
(One last disclaimer: Even though this version was going through a long test period by me and you, i can't guarantee that they are no hidden bugs somehow. If, then i try to fix them as soon as possible of course)
Please be sure before reporting any bugs in this thread that it hasn't been in there in earlier versions. Use the bugreport for that.
* Update to V1.18 A - Cleaned up Midi output so only Midi clock is being send. In some cases other data has been sent and caused timing problems on a least one midi gear *
* Update to V1.18 B - Bugfix for the Marked delete with MOD values problem *
* Update to V1.18 C - Bugfix for the rare situation when playing a sample first (as in first after power on) + retriggering on the same step + probability doesn't play that sample *

It would be nice to look through the tables by stepping through them (moving right) without having to go back to the pattern screen. Same for patches. Looking for that one table you know you created requires going back and forth from table to pattern until you find it. Staying in the table or patch screen and just moving right through them would be cool.
*edit: nevermind... I just read in another post that table and patch loading is on the to do list.
I can copy and pase the pattern multiple times, but once i copy again a different pattern it messes up when i paste.
As a workaround I power cycle the system in order to clear the clipboard.
Is there another way to clear it?
Thanks,
Is there anyway I could take an external trigger coming into the nerdseq and send it out of both the trigger output of a channel and also the mod output? It would my make patch configuration much simpler.
Would love if you were able to swap viewing modes on samples so that they would be laid out similar to how midi mode is showing: 2 (or 4) tracks of samples on the left, and then the fx volume etc on the right. Would be great for fast editing of samples and minimizing shuffling between screens!
Hi,
I didn't find any way to do track shifting with the Nerdseq ?
I do it with the eloquencer and I'd like to synchronize the tracks of both sequencers...
Maybe a feature for a future firmware ?
I have had the Nerdseq for a few weeks and it's already becoming a really key module. Unfortunately it's on the "farm team" right now in a little lunchbox off to the side. I'm going to try to make some more room for it in the main front-and-center skiff somehow.
Nerdseq + ER-301 seem to be a pretty common combo. I'm not even really letting myself think about the i2c stuff, that would be too awesome for words.
