XOR nerdSeq - getting started

The NERD SEQ has 6 pages

1. Sequencer

2. Pattern

3. Patch

4. Table

5. Automate

6. Project 

Sequencer Page/Screen

The seq page is the most used page.

To return to the sequencer page just press SEQUENCER 

The sequencer screen is where you arrange the pattern order 

and the order of the songs.

You can also create loops here

The sequencer screen will show you the 8 different Tracks.

Each Track is made up of Patterns (176).

Each Pattern contains Patches(176), Tables(32), Automation (16) & samples (12)

It's important to remember:

"Some functions can also be routed to outputs without the use of any sequence. For example, an envelope can be routed directly to a CV/MOD output. The envelope itself can then again be triggered/gated by a sequence, a table, CV inputs or other sources." Manual

Also numbers are represented in Hexadecimal form.

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,

10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,1A,1B,1C,1D,1E,1F 

20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,2A,2B,2C,2D,2E,2F

30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,3A,3B,3C,3D,3E,3F

etc etc

the number after 9F goes to A0 

 These rows go all the way to FE (254 in decimal).

 

---------------------

To create a new pattern 

press OK on an empty field.

The created pattern gets a new pattern-number, but the new pattern itself will be empty.

To insert a pattern that is already used (clone)

press Shift & OK

To delete a pattern

press shift & delete

 

Solo/Unsolo track: Using SHIFT + UP + START solos the current track.

 

For fast unmuting all tracks you can press SHIFT + UP + START 

 

Note the same Mute/Solo functions can be used with the Trigger16 Expander when on the pattern screen. 

 

The ‘**’ in a sequencer field represents a function to stop a track.  

If you want to start the whole row, press SHIFT+ START

SHIFT+ STOP stops the player. Initiates a reset pulse on the reset outputs and resets all gates.

 

Pattern Page/Screen.

Here, you fill in notes, data, triggers, gates, etc

The screen has 9 columns

 

1. Row

2. Note

3. Patch

4. table

5. trigger/gate

6. modulation/cv

7. effects

8. groove

9. screen name

 

Notes:

eg C-4 for Note C in octave 4; D#5 for d-sharp’ in octave 5.

[ ] = note off

 

Patch

Patches are presets that can be set on every sequencer step

Press OK to create a new patch. 

 

Press SHIFT + OK on a filled in patch to Clone the filled in patch into a new patch. 

In general this contains your knob positions which can be called back at any time if wanted. 

You can enter the patch screen from the pattern screen. 

Press the PATCH button.

 

You can navigate up/down and change the values with shift left-right-up-down.

 

 

 Table

 Table is to select a table to transpose notes or effects. 

 

Trigger, turn the trigger output on/off

 

MOD changes the Modulation output of the track to a value 000 - FFF (range from 0 - 10 Volt or -5/+5 Volt). Furthermore, the MOD output can also Generate Note-scaled values

 

Effects ... things like glide, probability, etc
