Hybrid Tracker Sequencer, Synthesizer and Toolbox For Eurorack
The Nerdseq is a tracker based cv and trigger sequencer module (32HP) for Eurorack systems.
It consists 6 tracks for the CV/Trigger/MOD generation of 18 outputs. 4 User assignable inputs, clock and reset in/outputs and 2 x 2 audio tracks to sequence samples and the integrated oscillators and FM synthesis. As the worlds first hardware tracker it allows straightforward and fast editing together with nice live playing abilities.
Tracker Style Sequencer
Worlds first hardware tracker! A full CV and Trigger sequencer inspired by oldschool trackers (like Fasttracker2, ImpulseTracker or LittleSoundDJ)
CV and Trigger I/O
18 outputs for CV and Trigger sequencing. CV’s are free assignable for Note-scale and/or Modulations. 4 Multi purpose Inputs
Audio
2 additional outputs for 4 audio tracks allow sample sequencing, Oscillators, 4 Operator FM Synthesis
Sequencer tools and specials
Automation, (Wave-)Tables, Quantize, Glide, Retrigger, LFO’s, Envelopes, Polyrhythmic Patterns, Groove, Probability, Dividers, Multipliers and many more
Loads of sequencer memory
255 sequencer rows, 176 patterns with each up to 64 steps can hold many songs for one project. Tons of projects manageable through a SD-Card.
Expansion Modules
Special expansion modules allow Midi Input and Output, I2C, more CV and Trigger/Gate outputs, a Multi-Oscillator, Video output, controlling with a Sega Gamepad and more…
