Jump recording, stereo samples?

[digitalartifact]

Also, as an aside, I just want to confirm that there is stereo sample support on the NerdSEQ along with panning effects? Reading the product page makes it seem like this is a feature with the more recent firmware updates: "Sample support for RAW 8 bit mono and WAV 8/16 bit, Mono/Stereo"

You can load stereo wav files but as the audio tracks are both mono that's how they will be played back. You could, in theory, split a stereo file into 2 mono samples and load one onto each audio track, triggering both together. It's also possible to use the delay effect on each audio track to get an interesting 'stereo' output.

I'll definitely be experimenting with the delay effect a lot then, and I figure I can just use a voltage inverter and couple VCAs for stereo panning of the mono samples because splitting them will be so much unnecessary work. I've already put the inverter and VCAs in my system just in case.

What about the jump recording though?

It’s not like that it is a stereo sample system. If you load a stereo sample it will downsample and mono it internally. Also there is not much sample memory.  The main power is in the CV/Gate system and the sample part is a nice addition. Though you can still do some nice things with it.

The function you search for is called edit steps and it enhances the steps after a note/trigger had been filled in.

Wonderful, the edit steps function looks like it will work perfectly for this type of workflow! I am so excited to give this a try. 

With regards to the sample memory, it should be more than enough for my needs. I saw this video using only the NerdSEQ's built in sequencer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3EaEoSoob4) so it definitely can be very powerful. I intend to use the NerdSEQ primarily for drums, using internal samples and also triggering Moffenzeef's Muskrat and Erica Synths Sample Drum, however if I find the sampler too limiting with the NerdSEQ it is very likely I'll eventually grab a BitBox instead of the Muskrat and Sample Drum because I'm seeing that is one of the most popular pairings with the NerdSEQ.
