Static recording mode.

[Ohmrun]

Hi.

I'd like to know if there is a way to record CV values through the inputs, but without the sequencer scrolling. I would like to be able to use an offset generator to enter precise values step by step into a sequencer, but without it being in read mode in addition to recording mode. Is it possible ?

best regards.

You can set up the Live Record input to:
"Cursor CV" for one input and "Cursor Gate" for the other input.
With this you can edit in the editor without the sequencer need to record. Holding the gate (key) for more than 1 second will remove the note on the current position.

Thank you for your reply.

If I understand, I have to deliver a "gate" message through input 2 and modify the value at the same time with the pententiometer of the offset generator? So either I did the wrong operation or the result is not what I expected. The principle only works on the cv column of the pattern. What I was asking is if it's possible to connect the output of an offset generator to the cv 1 input of the nerdseq, and thus be able to modify any value of any column (cv / trig / modulation / FX ...) where the cursor is.

I think i don't understand you well then.

If you provide a CV which always manipulates values where you are with your cursor at the moment, it would fill in much 'nonsense' and unwanted stuff into these fields.

Sorry. I thought the parameter values on the nerdseq were calibrated against voltages to accommodate not only sending adequate values but also receiving + 10 volts or +/- 5 volts. for the notes, I understand that it is necessary to go through a keyboard, but for the modulations I thought that it worked thus. Not having any programming concept in terms of integration into a modular environment, I don't know what it is possible to do or not. Thank you for your reply.

I’ll take a crack at it.

Ohmrun, I think that XORadmin was only pointing out that you need both a CV and a gate, not just a CV, for that function, simply so that the NerdSEQ knows when to grab the CV value and apply it at the cursor location, otherwise it’d be constantly spraying CV values all over the screen as you cursor around.

This doesn’t have to be a keyboard, though. it could just as easily be a momentary or latched button/switch that can generate a gate.

The above all said, I don’t think I’ve seen anything on this thread get into detail regarding exactly where that operation can be performed, in terms of the “any value of any column ... where the cursor is” of your message. Though you’re making me curious about trying a few things out, as I had personally only given that a basic function test where pitch was expected.

Indeed, I do not understand what would prevent the nerdseq from understanding that he must enter the value at the place where the cursor is by a command. We enter values ​​using the buttons on the module, and when you assign an offset generator of 0 / + 10 volts to the CV 1 input by indicating track 1 in recording mode, when you turn the offset generator potentiometer, the values ​​are entered on track 1 as the scrolling progresses. So I don't understand that it could be problematic to do this precisely at the cursor location as we do with the nerdseq commands. Sorry, I don't want to bother you, but it's just that in terms of ergonomics, it would have been great to be able to enter a value like this, because it is very easy to reproduce the position of a potentiometer of any other module with another potentiometer. Sorry to point out. Afterwards, this conversation may be partially surreal because of the fact that I don't speak English and that I may not understand everything. : D

I still don’t understand what you want to do.
Is it maybe that you want to put the potentiometer to a position and then press a button on any cursor position so it fills in a value? Or do you want to dial in a value like with some other sequencers?

By the way, the inputs are only 0 - 10 volts and not -5 / +5. For notes you never use negative voltages.

Here are two images which illustrate the recording of modulation values with my offset generator. In this example, the values follow the scrolling of the sequencer because in record mode, you can only record when the sequencer is playing. What I would like to do is be able to record a value in static mode where the cursor is, without scrolling. And to be able to do that with all the values except CV notes for which it is easier to use a keyboard directly. In this way, I select a step in the sequence with the navigation arrows and I enter the value with the potentiometer of the offset generator and so on, step by step.

[XORadmin]

Allright, now think i get it.

Just imagine that every mod value where you move the cursor would be filled in with the potentiometer value.
Then every step would be filled in when navigating. Isn’t that a bad side effect?
