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.

For Nerdseq it'd make perfect sense to do this with simply pressing shift on a cell and that value would now be the 'last value' for when you enter values.
It makes editing very fast and fluid, and I feel myself constantly reaching for it!

Maybe something similar already exists, I couldn't find it in the manual, if so let me know.]]>

It would be great, quicker, if you have the Video I/O with a USB keyboard to be able to type an effect name name in the pattern editor, rather than have to use the various scrolling options with the cursor buttons. 

Likewise with most of the other UI. To be able to just be able to type numbers in, just like the various Amiga Tracker programs, would be a lot quicker from a productivity point of view.

Thanks,

Mark.]]>

I'm syncing via USB host through Project > Clock IN > MIDI USB-Host.

Whenever they stop anything, such as a loop, my Nerdseq stops, even though other loops continue running.

Whenever they start anything, my clock starts again.

I would like to be able to control at least stop myself, and preferably also start, while still being synced to an external MIDI clock.

I couldn't really find a workaround in the manual. Did I miss something?]]>

I really appreciate the new feature "user harmonics from MIDI keyboard", it opens a whole new world to me.

Could you add a multi-octave quantization mode ?

So it would be possible to quantize to less notes in the lower register (like only the root in the lower octave, then add the fifth in the second octave, and more notes in the higher octaves).

Best regards,

Martin]]>

The Midi track type does have an indicator thus for the sake of consistency can you consider adding visual indicator for all track types when they are active.

I was thinking in terms of a little red dot that blinked in time with the track steps?

Thanks for considering.

Currently, the NerdSEQ appears to send the voice-specific form of the I²C Note On/Off protocol.

The Disting NT also supports the MIDI-like Note On/Off commands, which let the disting perform its own voice allocation (round-robin, voice stealing, etc.).
For instruments like the disting NT's Poly Multisample algorithm, it actually seems to not be able to trigger at all unless you send a custom note command (54,55,56)

Would it be possible to add an option, probably per I2C destination, to use the MIDI-style Note On/Off commands instead of the voice-specific ones?]]> While trying to control the Expert Sleepers disting NT from the NerdSEQ, I ran into an interoperability issue.

I am trying to set up a way of externally jumping to next / previous sequencer row (with patterns on them).

Currently STRW only accept a hardcoded row number (RV00–RVFE). It would be very useful if it could accept a variable or row result as the destination row (perhaps a version of STRW under GLOB) – similar to how SLCT can select a track dynamically via VA..VP or RW00..RW45.

This would allow building a simple next/previous row navigator in mapping using a counter variable incremented/decremented by a button press, making live performance navigation much more flexible.

Thanks for considering!

---

Additionally, it would be very useful to have a mapping source that returns whether a sequencer row has patterns assigned.

A source like RHAS (Row Has Assigned Patterns) that returns a value 1-8 reflecting how many patterns the targeted sequencer row has assigned, and 0 if it is empty. This would allow conditional navigation – only jumping to a row if it actually has content, making it possible to skip empty rows automatically when navigating forward or backward through the sequencer.]]>
