Hi Thomas,
Firstly thanks for your prompt response. I agree with your comments about using it as just a midi to cv converter. My planned workflow is to use the Digitakt (or Digitone) for composing core melodies, record them into the Nerdseq, and then add more complexity using the power of the Nerdseq. Although I like trackers I don’t find them helpful for finding core melodies personally.
Yes the midi is all monophonic and independent. The gate will get stuck on immediately using one channel if the clock is set to midi slave. This is the same whether using the Digitakt or Digitone. It also gets stuck open without the Nerdseq clock in midi slave mode but might take anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes to happen, but it always does. I checked the Midi stream and there's really nothing to see:
Digitakt stream (looks the same using Digitone)

12:24:45.303 From Digitakt in 1 Clock
12:24:45.325 From Digitakt in 1 Clock
I only used the uMidi as an example, as I think the issue I’m having is probably with the midi implementation of the Nerdseq, I understand they are not comparable units. With the Digitone if you press Midi, press Record for step sequencing and then enter trigs on keys 1-16, then press play. For live recording using the Digitione's keyboard, hold Record and press Play, then play the Digitone's 'keyboard'.
I hope this information was of use, please let me know what I can do if you need anything else, or what I can try to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Paul
