Easiest setup for polyphony with the More CV 16

[XORadmin]

Hello, I‘ll first repost what I just posted under the Youtube Video because I guess I will come back with more questions to really understand how this has to be set up. (https://youtu.be/75YQ7CKU5Bo):


31:38 I feel really dumb coming back to the NerdSeq after another year of break. I watched videos for an hour now and I can‘t get a „simple“ setup working.

I use the More CV 16 expander and just want to play 3 notes at the same time (chords) but also at different times.

I set up 3 channels + 3 envelopes, and got the first channel working with this tutorial (notes on 1, triggers in 2 that come out at at track trigger, so the original nerdseq)

I just want it to work like on my old Hermod. Have 6 cables for 3 notes polyphony and know where what has to be.

I used channel 3 for the 2nd set of notes I want to record (or the 2nd note in a chord) and channel 4 for the triggers. Problems started there. I can only set „Track Trigger“ or „Destination Trigger 4“. Where is „Destination Trigger 4“ coming out?


I would love to have 3 notes and 3 gate outputs in the end. It would be nice to have the gates also come out of the MORE CV 16 so the cables can be next to each other, like Note 1: CV 1, Gate 9, Note 2: CV 2, Gate from channel 10 and Note 3: CV 3, Gate from Channel 11. 

But it would also be ok to have all the gates coming from the Track 1-6 Trigger inputs on the original NerdSeq hardware.

Hello For,

the outputs are the outputs you decide on the 6 columns. If you choose for Trigger 4 for example, it would output on the local trigger4 output. However, recording would fill in envelopes which are functions of the CV16 output.
So you could set the outputs being the local CV1..6 outputs and if you chose to record 3+3 (where it would record 3 note and 3 'gate' lanes, it would fill in an envelope Attack/hold, on a note on and a envelope release on the note off. You can change the envelope itself so it would act like a gate (fastest attack, quite fast release, sustain on a level you need (mostly 5 volt for triggers). This would then act much like a normal Gate output.

In the new coming firmware version (NerdSEQ + CV16, here already in the public beta) you can also decide to use the CV16 outputs as triggers and can record into it as 3 CV + 3 Gates.
