Hi there,

Very happy with my NerdSeq and it's amazing to control all my CV / Triggers and also my midi devices.

I'm struggling though with the midi standard sending stop/start messages along with the clock. I have the NerdSeq sending note information over Midi to my Minibrute 2, but the MB2 internal sequencer or arpegiator always switches on when I play any sequence from the NerdSeq. I know this is by design in the midi standard, but is there a way to have the NerdSeq be the only thing playing notes on the MB2? I do need the clock in the MB2 to be synced from Midi (it's key to the sound/patch I have). 

So to summarize my question → 

1. Can you switch off the start/stop messages without switching off the midi-clock going to MB2?
2. Is the alternative maybe using CV-clock in stead of the midi-clock?
3. How do other machines handle external Midi-notes with their own internal arp's / sequencer not getting in the way?

Thanks in advance for any answers!

Curious if anyone has successfully modded their case to stick their more video expander on the top?  Very interested in it as a module but not interested in having it use up my precious hp when I wont be really using it in that way.  Would rather relegate it to the top of my intellijel 7u case with the other IO I have but also a bit nervous to start cutting holes in my case haha.

Hi,

How easy is it to change the faceplates for the sequencer and its expanders? Currently I have trigger 16 and cv16. 

Thanks!

Hi!

I would like to expand the trigger delay functionality to allow for negative values. Some of my modules, most notably digital drum modules but it also applies to some sampler, have a fairly large latency of 4-5ms or even more. That's noticeable when played together with plucky/instantly responding sounds. I'd like to be able to compensate for that and the easiest way appears to be to allow for negative delays.

In a perfect world this would be applicable to all lanes (not just tracks) on a per lane basis. E.g. with the Trigger 16 expander I may want to have my snare lane -4ms earlier while the rest should be on time. Similar for the More CV 16 expander. There I may have a sampler that's I wish to compensate by e.g. -6ms. I would want the note CV and the corresponding trigger/gate/env (on another CV 16 lane) be adjusted accordingly (i.e. 6ms earlier).

I'm not sure the available storage per lane would allow for something like that but I think it would be awesome

Kind regards,
Michael

Hi all,
Felt I should repost this here as well. A few weeks ago, I did a 4-episode tutorial series on the NerdSeq. It covers the basics, as well as some of the deeper features, and calls out some potential gotchas that I've encountered as I've learned to use the NerdSeq. I plan to revisit and add to this over time as I learn new things to share, so if you have suggestions on what you'd like to see next, let me know (notably absent at the moment: trigger expander, Midi/CV recording/input).

Enjoy!

this came up on a chat yesterday on Discord:
Someone was asking if the nerdseq can map midi CCs in a similar manner to how the CV ins get mapped. Im not sure it does that already, so I figured I'd stick it in here. taking it further, being able to have a midi control matrix alongside the automation mappings would be useful for advanced use cases. I know the i2c expander is coming, presumably that will play nice with things like the 16 faderbank for parameter control?

Hi there, 


I was pondering about getting a NerdSEQ, a 2HP midi expander and a More CV16 as it looks like it might fit my workflow the best, but while I was pondering the whole summer to make sure this was the right combination, the more CV went out of stock - and I found the I2C expander.

Is there an estimated date for restock or somewhere to find that information? Apologies but I haven't found anything.


Similarly is there an estimated date for the I2C expander to come out? (Late 2022 on that recent video? I'm actually more interested in that expander than the 2hp midi one, and getting modules shipped to Japan is usually costly so I was looking at getting everything in one bundle.)  

Thanks in advance!

I've been trying to figure out if there's a way to randomize the timing slightly for a midi track. I'd like to be able to lead the beat, lag the beat, or both, by a small random amount to reduce the mechanical feel. Like maybe some way to slightly randomize the groove, but not let things get out of sync. Are there (or could there be) any tools to accomplish that?

Hi 

I think it would be awesome if we were able to map shoulder buttons on Sega gamepads. (For me the ideal button to map shift to) 

Just a suggestion 

I have been revisiting the Nerdseq using some recently uploaded tutorial YouTubes. I set up my Analog Rytm to play drum samples. Trying to get the Nerdseq to play samples on the Octatrack via midi notes has been proving to be a bigger challenge. In both cases the Elektron sequencers are obviously not in use. On a basic level I got the Nerdseq to start playback of a sample loop from a midi pattern. Can anyone point me to a video or other guidance for using the Nerd to play samples chromatically? Ultimately I'll be playing the Analog Rytm for percussion, and the Disting EX for poly pads. I'm waiting for my midi module to arrive. I would like to have the option to use the Octatrack for glitch etc from a Nerd midi pattern. I have been using the Octatrack as my end of chain performance mixer/sampler/looper using the EZbot template, but this is the first time I have really delved into controlling it over midi, beyond clock/reset. I presume the main challenge will be slicing, then assigning notes to slices. Not sure if Octa can automate that to any degree. This seems pretty easy on the Analog Rytm since it's just triggers, and buttons are pre-assigned to notes. If anyone feels like I'm barking up the wrong tree trying this on the Octa, let me know. The closest to thing to samplers I have in Eurorack so far is Morphagene and Beads. I may eventually have a Bitbox, but that thing is a crazy power hog.
