This is only a cosmetic problem:
After updating the VEX from 3.0d to 3.3 the screen with the detected firmware for the NSA was still showing 3.0d. Tried the update twice w/o any changes. When updating Trigger to 1.1 and Dualchord to 1.4 the updated version was shown.

After a power cycle the correct version (3.3) was shown. This happened with 3.3 beta15.

Best wishes,

For example, clicking this link will try to redirect but the link is missing the forward slash after the fqdn: https://www.xor-electronics.com/forum/fo...php?fid=22

Redirects to: https://forum.xor.euforumdisplay.php/?fid=22

This occasionally leads to some broken links for web searches using older indexes. Easy to fix by moving the slash from after the page route to after the TLD from but figured it was worth reporting.]]>

I'm new here, this is my first post. I hope someone can help.

I need to send a one shot trig via the Mod column (output) as I'm already using the trig for something else. 
I only want it to output a trig once (the first time) and not again as the pattern continues to loop.


Cheers

Would it be possible to add a Mapping destination that writes a note/trigger to the currently playing pattern step, rather than requiring a fixed step destination like NT00, NT01 ... NT3F?
For example, something along the lines of:
TRCK → SLCT → NT CURRENT
or
TRCK → SLCT → NTPW
where the destination row is automatically the track's current playing row (PTRW).
The idea is that a Mapping calculation could generate a note value and permanently write it into the pattern as it plays. A value of 0 could behave like the existing NTxx destinations and remove the note + trigger.
NerdSEQ's CV note recording already seems to have this concept internally, since incoming CV can be recorded into the currently playing step. It would be great if Mapping could access that same kind of destination directly.
My use case is a live generative pattern writer: Mapping generates notes/rests while the pattern plays, continuously rewriting the actual pattern. When generation is disabled, the resulting pattern remains and can be edited normally.
Currently this seems to require a separate NTxx Mapping row for every possible pattern step because PTRW can be read as a source but can't be used to dynamically select the NTxx destination.
Thanks!

Just to clarify: by “currently playing pattern step,” I mean the current playing step of the selected track/pattern (TRCK → SLCT), not every pattern that is currently playing.

Basically I’m looking for the equivalent of TRCK → SLCT → NTxx, except xx would automatically follow the current playing row of the selected track.]]> I have a feature request for the Mapping Matrix that I think could open up some interesting generative uses.

I want a sound to trigger.  Let’s say high hat.  It triggers every time it loops around.  Then, at random intervals, it ratchets.

Here’s what I’ve sorted so far.

I can get it to trigger. I can get it to ratchet.  I can get it to randomly ratchet.  I CAN’T get them to an either or.

Any help?  Thanks y’all!]]>

It would be handy to have a 1/4 clock output on one of my open CV16 jacks.  I get that you can do this by adding a trigger every 4th step on a track and mapping the track to a trigger or envelope, (or just firing the envelope from an FX lane) among other ways, but I'd like to avoid having to edit every pattern to include the pulse pattern.  My projects get really big when preparing for a live set and I'll definitely miss a bunch of patterns.

Is there an easier way via the mapping matrix?  A condition that will trigger at a 1/4 note interval (vs the main clock that outputs a 1/16 note pulse) that I can use to fire a trigger or envelope?

I've tried a few ideas with GLOB SQRW and the the CLKI and CLKO mappings but can't quite get there.

If I could implement a couple of clock dividers right on the Nerd outputs (the CV16 is ideal, but I'll settle for a MOD output on one of the main channels too) I could probably sell my Pam's ]]>

My process thus far has been to write into an existing .NRD file.  Make a single change and save.  Take a photo of the screen.  Feed the newly saved .NRD and photo back to Claude - which maps the changed value on screen to the changed bit in the .NRD file.  The more it has learned, the more I have been able to make multiple changes at a time.  I just made my first semi-complex file, and just starting to add FX.  But I have in no way mapped all values or features at this time.  I am breaking the information down into two main markdown files:
1. explaining how a single pattern is structured
2. explaining how a project file is structured

There is a strange checksum value at the end of the show file that is really tripping Claude up as well.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Uploaded here is the .NRD file that I recently made.  It is by no means a musical masterpiece - mainly a demostration of allowing claude to quickly generate a semi-cohesive files based on a few inputs.  Please note this was made using v2.01 firmware.

Markdown files are not support to attach to forum so I changed them to .DOCX files.  I also made a very short "musical context" file for myself which gave a lot of input on how Claude should translate NerdSeq outputs into a musical language, as well as my personal tastes, writing style, preferences, a link to my Modular Grid and much more.  I am not sharing this file directly, mostly because you should build your own! (which I am more than happy to walk anyone through)

Well - please let me know what you all think and if anyone wants to help build weird stuff using Claude.
Onwards!

I’m having a control/navigation problem with my NerdSEQ. I recently installed a trigger expander and a MIDI expander, but have since removed both. The problem remains.
Symptoms:

• The cursor sometimes moves downward continuously without me pressing anything. This comes and goes.
  
• Cursor Up doesn’t respond, including when the automatic downward movement has stopped.
  
• Left and Right work in the tracker.
  
• SHIFT+PROJECT doesn’t open Setup. I can access Project, which I initially mistook for Setup.
  
• SHIFT+STOP doesn’t stop the running sequencer.
  
• Holding SHIFT+COPY+CURSOR UP at power-on hasn’t brought up the firmware updater.
  
• The documented key-release combination, SEQUENCER+AUTOMATOR+STOP, hasn’t restored normal operation.
  

I noticed occasional catching of the Down button cap against the panel, but the problems also occur when the buttons are physically released and moving normally. The sticking doesn’t appear to explain the whole issue.
I was advised that enabled Gamepad or Video functions could cause ghost inputs when the corresponding hardware isn’t connected. I haven’t been able to verify or disable those settings because I cannot enter Setup.
The SD card has been reformatted and rebuilt using the official SD-card contents, with the official 3.0 firmware file placed in the firmware folder. This didn’t resolve the symptoms. The firmware has not actually been flashed, because I cannot enter the updater.
Is there a documented way to disable Gamepad/Video or recover the internal settings without access to Setup? Is there a button-input diagnostic or another check that would distinguish ghost inputs from a hardware fault?
I’m in the United States and would appreciate any supported troubleshooting steps before arranging a repair or overseas shipping.
