Multi-IO Expander

[pnortnaomi]

I just got the 16 trigger and the multi-io at the same time. I didn't have any expanders before. The multi-io lights up the midi triggers and is getting power, it just doesn't send to the Nerdseq. The Trigger 16 expander works well.

Edit - The multi-io setting in the menu saves between power cycles.

OK...did you try the cables? Remove and insert multiple times. And be sure you didn't insert it on the 'thru' port.

I removed the cables a few times and it worked. The new cables are pretty tight and it took 4-5 times unplugging and replugging. Thank you so much for your help.

The drum matrix in the trigger expander is so cool and the encoder has sped up programming considerably, however I never found the Nerdseq to be slow to program.

Previously I was sending midi sync from a Expert Sleepers Fh-2 and that worked great, but now I have an extra 2 ports in it to be used elsewhere.

Before the trigger 16 expander I was triggering 4 tracks from the Nerdseq to 4 mono drums in the Assimil8or leaving only 2 more channels for the rest of system. I was using clock dividers and and a Mimetic Digitalis and a Control Forge to sequence the rest of my modules, and even though I came up with unique sequences, I wasn't able to save the projects as a whole. The trigger expander has fixed this. Thanks

Very nice to hear!  Yes and it can be dirtyness as well on the pins and removing and inserting a few times scratches the dust off.

And very cool that all works out as you wanted to. Just fyi, you could also sequence all the local trigger outputs from a drummatrix even without the trigger expander using the I2C/Multi Track. Not that I don't want to sell Trigger16 :-) But I think it is all fair to say...and one can't have enough outputs anyways!

That's a great tip! I'll try that with the Disting ex.
