Just re-purchased a Nerdseq after transfering to a Five12 Vector sequencer for around 8 months.
My setup has presumably changed alot since and here is my current 6U setup with my Nerdseq.
I mix everything using my ES-9 in my laptop and I use the Sweet sixteen midi controller to control the mix, fx sends and ect.

Nice setup!
Would like to hear your thoughts on the sequencer switches – I made the exact same transition :
Also, are you Icelandic? Love it there.
Yeah I'm from Iceland!
Going from a Nerdseq to the vector and back to the nerdseq I can totally say that playing live with a nerdseq is wayyyy more fun!
I like it live because I can for example play song A with appropriate patterns and then switch the patterns to song B individually for a track.
So like for example, keeping Rings and a hi-hat going from song A and then start a bassline from song B and then fade between. Dream for live playing.
ALSO my main gripe with the Vector is the glide implementation, it's really weird, you don't just say "glide from step 6 to 7" you have to kind of implement a tied note with legato or something? It's really weird how Jim implemented that.
I really didn't like it compared with the nerdseq where you just say glide value is "4" on step 4 and then say glide value is "0" for step 5 and boom you've got a sick ass glide.
The live performance and that juicy glide with the nerdseq(and smaller HP) is what made me switch again. Also I think I like a tracker type sequencing more.
I can see everything at the same time and I don't have to switch between pages to see the glide, MOD cv, gates and cv.
I think the Vector does what it does really well.
The reason I decided to go back to the NerdSeq was that while it has lots of nice options for random/probability and other shenanigans, the NS just does that so extensively and effortlessly. Also the ability to see and select your sequences in the way it is in the NS is really nice, as you said.
Probably the biggest downer for me was the lack of proper live recording from MIDI. a keyboard is my preferred input method so that's a key feature.

What is the issue with the live recording?

Being able to record live MIDI input on a vector track was never implemented during my time with the Vector. It does have a SH101esque step record function. It did not seem like a development priority – MIDI thru, MIDI recording and things like that. Which is absolutely fine, of course, for me it's just that it's so central to how I work.
It's so funny, I transfered again from a Nerdseq to an Octatrack for about a year maybe. Then just around january this year I went AGAIN back to the Nerdseq and this is where I'm staying.
It's the 3rd time going back to the Nerdseq and I've just realized that it's perfect for me.
Here's the new setup and I'm EAGERLY waiting for the new i2c expander.

Oo I like that color panel on the er-301

How do you use the Sweet Sixteen in this setup? I have one coming this week as well.
Also what's that Fjöl module?
