Immediate value to CV16 output from MODULAR tracks

[originaljimdandy]

Hi,

First off let me say what a wonderful piece of engineering the NERDSEQ is. When I think about how much work and expertise went into making this system it is truly amazing.

I use PATCHES that set open CV (1-6) and XMAP to set CV16 ports to preset/automation values. This gets complex with CV/PATCHES/XMAP involved to adjust one setting. And, as previously mentioned, sometimes there are issues where the CV16 doesn't update.

SO, it would be terribly cool to have a command that sets CV16 values directly from a MODULAR track, the same way a modular track can set all the CV/Trigger/MOD values on the base unit. Something like:

FX:
CVEXT 2020800 -> set NSA 2 CV16 port 3 to 0x800

Thanks for your consideration!

Requested before and also this time not possible.
You show already 7 digits for the payload of that one command but they are only 3 available on a modular track.
Better use a CV16 track and involve the local outputs in there.

That the CV16 doesn’t seem to update in some ways need to be investigated.

How about setting a variable to a value in a PATCH? This way it is possible to XMAP that value to any port.
Like 
VAR 01 -> 800
in a PATCH?

I am trying to keep voices grouped together on a track. With effects/modulation it is easy to use 3-4 CV values over the basic MOD.

VAR 01 are already 2 parameters which can't be within one FX. Adding 16 additional FX for all 16 variables is not an option.
Patches are 100% derived from the FX and so the same rules apply. Trust me, if there would be an easy solution for it then it would be in there.

The only thing you can do is to use XMAP and set some value presets with it. That would work from every tracktype.

Well. thinking linearly I suppose you are right it is not an option.

But coding in values into mappings is also not an option, it is too much stopping and starting over.
I would at that point do it from a DAW with MIDI mappings so I could change it on the fly.
I could do all my 2 CV16 outputs in 32 lines of mapping.

But, you could do it in FX with 2 instructions. (Benefit: not touching mappings!)

PUSHD -> NSA address/CV16 port
PUSHV -> Push immediate value to designated port

Have a stack per track and it will remedy the isolation problem of using a free CV to push mapping. Also, it has the benefit of allowing multiple PUSHV's for any given destination NSA/Port.

That would be one way to access all the I/O in the box, which would make the Nerdseq even more exceptional.
