nerdseq as preset sequencer

[XORadmin]

So I tried and generally this is working. I can map a motor fader to a CV output (should also work with mod output) and back, and the fader will react. Works also with led rings around encoders, they show the current value. To set a value, you can use one pattern to set the value, auto start the next pattern with no value and then you can use the motor faders/encoders with the current value.

Some questions/issues:
1. My Multi i/O seems to have a host port that is a little too big, the USB cable isnt working until I press it a bit up- or downwards. Right now I use a small piece of paper to press the USB upwards. Can I slightly bend the metal frame? Just a tiny bit? Or better bend the USB cable?

2. Currently this only works with the 6 CV/MOD outputs on the main unit, but not with the CV16 expander as I can't select these as sources in the mapping screen. Is this something coming in the future? When? ¨

3. The buttons from my controller don't toggle. They send "Note on" when pressed and then NerdSeq also does what it should, but when I release the button on the controller, the event is off again. I tried to mute a track with MIDI "C-0N to B-9N". Am I missing something here? How can I toggle something with a certain "Note On"?

1) Oh that is not good. You could indeed try to bend the metal frame a bit and I am always happy to fix your problem and replace the port. Shouldn't be like this of course.

2) That is correct. Any CV16 value is generated in the CV16 itself and if you would for example start LFO's or envelopes on the CV outputs there is no feedback on the current voltage of the CV16 output. The reason is that it would be a massive amount of data already from one output already which would have to been send (on polling) from the NerdSEQ and that is not possible. Same goes for the trigger expander. Both generate their own voltages and they get only the command of the NerdSEQ to do so.
There might be an option to capture theoretical values which means that only the sent pitches are stored and could be used. But if there is any modulation on the CV16 involved like glide, LFO, envelopes then that wouldn't be monitored here. Only that pitch signal. It should be enough for what you want to do I think. But it is not included yet.

3) You would have to involve a calculation with it to get a toggle function. The button pressed=on and button released=off is the most pure functionality.
This does work:

Code:

00 MIDI  TC 1   C-3N     >   ----  ----  ----         This one would get the row 00 result 1 or 0 on note C-3 on or off (here from the TRS Port)
01 CALC  FLG^   00=1     >   TRCK  TRKx  MUTE         This one toggles each time row 00 (which is the 00 in the 2nd source field) goes from 0 to 1 (which is the constant =1 in the 2nd source field.) and the destination for that is track X mute

Also for row 00 if you don't know which note is being send, just set row 00 to "MIDI  LRN  NOTE"  and then press your midi-button, it will recognize the button and fills it automatically into the source.
