thanks for the replies - I will experiment further with nerdseq in terms of track counts and options described etc
I wanted the nerd because it's more flexible in terms of arrangements, like song arrangements compared to other euro sequencers I have played with. Plus has much more possibilities/features than most. per step etc
I'm just thinking ahead because I'm trying to move away from using a daw as much as possible, even without using the daw as a tape machine - I have a desk with enough analogue ins and FX options to bypass using the daw for mixing purposes.
I'm trying to have the best option to create songs a little bit like the older days of using midi with one sequencer (Cubase example) and the rest was all outboard devices triggered via midi etc.
I want the nerd really to be my main sequencer for euro rack plus bit of midi in the rack.
at the moment via an MPC I can use up 3 tracks straight away to do this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WayWwGPG...=WMDevices
- each track includes a pattern (midi part) with a high cv note (as reset signal) and low gate trigger (for example a 16th) for a clock trigger --- it uses 1 cv and 1 gate outs of the mpc per track/pattern to do this.
but that way - the tracks /midi parts control the start/stop/sync to three different sequence-based rack modules one for each, then you can start and stop when you ask them to, rather than say just following a master clock /reset on 1 device.
I can start to stop those rack sequences on a timeline arrangement as they were like midi parts on the mpc.
I can also use more cv/gate into say other euro rack modules, oscillators other etc using midi out of the MPC to a small CV ocd midi to cv converter ---- it's all great but song arrangement on MPC isn't great,
I would like the Nerq to be the main sequencer and have the same kind of option/flexibility
I'm not sure yet --- maybe someone can advise,
but I want a pattern in the nerd to control the start / stop reset of another sequencer device - like say a drum sequencer in my rack or say my qubit bloom -- I guess that would use up 1 modular track rack or at least 1 track when that pattern is playing, it would use one track for the 16th trigger plus and high note trigger cv as a reset?
