so the rossum modules have a kind of screensaver mode, which was introduced I believe to extend the life of the screens (or maybe to prevent any kind of burn).  should this be a consideration for the nerdseq, perhaps a mode that floats the xor cherries around at a dimmer brightness while idle after 'n' minutes?

is there a way to delete an entire project, or to reinit to a empty one?

This seems like a very basic question but I'm not finding a good way here...

I'm breaking patterns at different lengths on each track. I want the patterns to go out of phase with each other with the different break points, and that works great, but I also want to be able to reset them all back to step 0 so they begin in sync the same as when I start from a stopped state. 

It seems that the reset input only works if an external clock is being followed, and I can't seem to find any FX that will do this. The only way I've found so far is to stop the whole sequencer and restart it. Is there a track FX that tells every pattern to start at a given row?

What am I missing?

For example: if I'm in pattern for Sample 1, I cannot copy the groove I've made in Groove column A into Groove column B.

I imagine this being somewhat like break in the fx column but, instead of cutting off the rest of the cell, it offers a percent chance that the cell loops before going into the next chained cell.


just a passing idea.

I saw some other groove requests but not exactly what I was looking for.  

It would be nice if there was a way to universally adjust the grooves in maybe the Project screen.   That way if I wanted to quickly shift the song into a 7/5 or 8/4 style swing it would be a huge time saver.

I went to update to 1.16RC2 and keep getting this error.  This is the same SD card that came with the module and had been working fine until now.  I also tried installing an older version and still getting the same message.

(this is 1.16 RC1)

So here's the example I have for you: 

The patch sets the MOD to FFE and a very fast MOD GLIDE.  



When it passes by MOD on the pattern, it glides to 000.  But when it reaches the next note with the patch, it does not reset MOD back to FFE.



Let me know if I am doing something incorrectly or if there is a better way to achieve what I'm trying to do. Thanks!

I'm lazy, and having to load a project in just to get the right clock in/out settings, patterns etc. is a bit of a pain when I want to get continue sketching out ideas I've been working the night before. Having it autoload the last saved project would be a life saver for me.

Is this possible to implement?

Ho there,

finally after some weeks of tweaking, testing and finetuning, here is the release candidate for the next Version V1.16 RC1.
!!! Currently updated to RC6 !!! Attached file is updated.


Compared to the last preview they are many little changings, fixes and many new features. Important to know, if you tested the preview as well, that the automators are non-destructive anymore. That means, for all destinations, if you turn off the automator or change the destination, the original destination value resets again. So browsing through the destinations won't hurt your settings anymore.
Old Projects from versions 1.15 and older can be imported now. Projects from the preview won't be fully compatible and might need some manual corrections.

Be sure you check this version well and report all oddities. I tested all well, but they can always be some combination which could cause a problem, as there is many new stuff included. I expect no critical issues.
Also i count on you for testing as i want to mark this version stable as soon as possible. Please provide feedback!

Before you update, be sure that you BACKUP your SD card/Projects
In case you save a project with this, you won't be able to load it on a V1.15 or older (if you rollback to an older version for some reason).

A new manual draft is added to now to at least basically explain the new functions.


Here is again a list of all new features:

• Added: Automations. 8 Automation slots with the modulation matrix to output the automators to several internal and external functions.
  Current Automators:    LFO, CV inputsLFO automator with the following settings: Speed, Offset, Invert, Clock, Range, Waveform (Sinus, Triangle, Sawtooth, White and pinknoise), Bitrate, Phase.All automator settings can be manipulated from the FX column of a track. Also, several LFO settings can be manipulated by another automator slot: Speed, Range, ResetCV input automator got no settings yet (for next version).Automator destinations: Track 1..6: CV, MOD, Trigger Length (overrules the next trigger in length), Trigger Delay (overrules the next trigger delayed gate function), FX1..FX4 Overrule (overrules the next FX values), CV/MOD Glide+Steps, All probabilities, Step Overrule (experimental)Sample tracks 7,8: Pitch, Volume, Bitcrush, Distortion, Sample position, FX Overrule, All probabilities, Step overrule (experimental)
  

• Change: Trigger column overrules the auto-gating from notes. So if a note is filled in and a trigger (from trigger column) at the same step, then the trigger got high priority
  

• Added: Next Random FX overrule in FX column. The next FX value from destinations (0 = random fx column, 1..4 = FX 1..4) will be overruled by a random value.
  

• Added: Old projects from versions older than 1.16 can be loaded
  
• Added: time in sample pattern screen
  
• Added: Din-Sync24 output (for clock)
  

• Added: Edit steps (change in setup screen). Cursor jumps automatically the amount of steps further when inserting a new value with SHIFT + CURSOR-UP in the pattern screen. Be aware that this can be confusing when you are used to insert values with SHIFT + CURSOR-UP. Inserting new values without the steps jumping can be done with SHIFT + CURSOR-RIGHT. You can disable this function to get back as it used to be if the editsteps are 0.
  

• Added: OK button on the trigger column triggers the underlying trigger value
  
• Added: Current running table is visible in the pattern screen.
  
• Added: Table Stop command. Be aware, tables are not being stopped anymore by using a patch.
  Table stop is the value left of Table 00.
  
• Added: All tracks play (SHIFT + START) from inside a pattern (same like on the sequencer screen)
  
• Added: Screensaver.
  
• Fix: BRK in sample tracks works now as suppose to be in combination with probability
  
• Added: PAGE UP/DOWN in patch screen
  
• Added: Clone patch with SHIFT + OK on a current patch
  
• Added: Setting (setup screen) to automatically add also a trigger in the trigger column when inserting a note.
  
• Added: Sample offset FX
  
• Added: Note Prelisten when pressing OK on note (works also with SHIFT + CURSOR-UP/DOWN + OK)
  
• Added: Note insertion (note scale) on MOD column. Fast switch by using OK on the mod column swaps
  between 000, 800, C-0, C-4, C-8.
  
• Added: Screen wrap-around (enable in setup screen). Cursor swaps back to the begin/end of the screen up/down/left/right.
  
• Added: Setup function: Reset all values/settings on song stop.
  
• Added: Highlight rows. The row highlighting from the pattern screen can be changed in the setup screen
  (eg, every 4th row is highlightened)
  
• Added: Special FX command with multiple functions: Stop track after pattern ready, Stop track directly, Stop Song, Set/Reset clock output, Pulse clock output, Set/reset RESET output, Pulse Reset output, Reset all track current values, Reset all current values,
  Goto random position, Resync track, Resync All.
  
• Added: Modwheel input for live manipulation through MIDI (for MOD)
  
• Fix: Mute didn't affect the FX column well
  
• Added: Nerd Menu: Reset current Track values, Reset All current values, Resync Track, Resync All
  
• Added: Pattern Names. You can give each pattern a name now. (Add name in Nerd Menu on the pattern screen)
  
• Fix: Screen edit inconsistencies
  
• Added: Trigger function 'FD' will toggle the trigger.
  
• Updated: Many small updates and fixes in the screens and background to get a smoother usability feeling and higher performance. Screen change is now much snappier. Removed many mini-glitches.
