Hello nerds,
Is it possible to mute the CV inputs 1-4 programmatically?
My use case:
I have two sequencers that output pitch and gate, patched into the nerdseq's CV inputs 1-4, which are routed to notes and gates on two modular tracks.
This works perfectly, the sequencers do their thing, and all their pitch and gate flows through the nerdseq with an empty pattern playing on the modular tracks. This simplifies patching for performance. It's also nice to be able to record things into patterns when I'm just messing around.
At some points in a live set though, I want to disable sequencer input and use pre-programmed patterns on the modular tracks. Ideally I'd want to XMAP something in row 00 of an empty pattern that lets the CV inputs through, and this pattern loops whenever I'm using the sequencers. Then in row 00 of another pattern with notes and gates programmed in, XMAP something that mutes the CV inputs and lets the pattern's own notes only play.
Right now I can do this outside the nerdseq with VCAs and things, but being able to do it internally would be less complicated and would free up a bunch of HP and cables. No big deal if it's not a feature right now, but wanted to ask in case I didn't need to put more time into solving a problem that doesn't have to be a problem.
Also FYI the closest I've got to implementing this 100% inside the NerdSeq.. in this example sending sequencer pitch and gates through CV inputs 1 and 2 to modular track 2 only when asked to..
Assign VC inputs 1-4 to NONE in the main menu
In a pattern where I want sequencer input to flow through the nerdseq
SKIP 03 = =0=0
CTRL XMAP 2RW
CV IN 1 > CV NOTE CV 2
CV IN 2 > TRIG TRIG CV 2
This technically works, but I can hear some artifacts in the pitch when I use this approach (I don't hear them if I run the pitch from the sequencer directly to the oscillator v/oct input). Probably because the XMAP being executed at the beginning of a step isn't perfectly aligned with the pitch being generated by the sequencer?
