Nerdseq- Xor Electronics-Euclidean Rhythms

Published on Dec 17, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Today I have a small video using the EUCLIDEAN RHYTHMS function from the latest soft 1.20v for Nerdseq from XOR
This is a very cool feature, as I showed in the movie, you have more expander More Trigger 16 you can immediately add matrix euclidean rhytms from the marked place, just enter the sounds you can add and subtract them from the marked place, it's best to see it yourself.

it is great fun and you create completely new rhythms.
Here use Kickall-Befaco
Hatz-Patching panda
2 x Pico Drums -Erica Synths

Some synth bling sent my way via XOR Electronics.

Thank you XOR! Will be wearing that T out today! :)

Great quality shirt BTW.  The XOR logo is stitched, not printed.

NerdSEQ 'More Triggers 16' Expander

Published on Apr 15, 2019 XOR Electronics

"A small introduction into the new 'More Triggers 16' expander for the NerdSEQ Eurorack sequencer.It adds 16 more Trigger/Gate outputs which are totally integrated into the sequencer."

"NerdSEQ is an 8–track Eurorack sequencer with a rich feature set, allowing you to sequence modules or MIDI compatible gear, put probabilities on probabilities, generate randomness (or, on the contrary, create and effortlessly save rigid song structures), upload & sequence samples and much more.

This software update is a major one as it elaborates on NerdSEQ’s many key capabilities and adds plenty more fun and flexibility – it is now possible to use its effective tracker–style workflow to sequence all of your external MIDI gear with per–track 4 voice polyphony across all channels. CC messages, Aftertouch, Pitchbend, Program change and NRPN are all accessible as well, and the imaginary cherry on top is that most of this can be manipulated by NerdSEQ’s Automations engine – meaning you can use its internal LFOs or external CVs for all sorts of crazy modulations and breathe some new life into your old rack synths collecting dust. All of this can be achieved with the MIDI I/O expansion.

All of this MIDI freakiness is just the start though – also out with this update is the ‘MORE TRIGGERS 16’ expander, offering 16 additional trigger/gate outs, chainable to up to 4 units/64 outputs, enough to trigger your room. On the software side, this means a super effective and simple drum matrix screen has been added and you can now set each of the six tracks per your preference – to modular, MIDI or trigger mode. The 2 sample tracks are fixed. More expanders are soon to follow, the closest one being ‘MORE CVS 16’ – we’ll let you figure out what will that one do on your own.

While these are the two most exciting and visible updates, there’s plenty more additions and improvements to the UI and functionality – color coding for tracks, track tempo dividers/multipliers and overall improvements in performance.

This free firmware update is now available on the XOR Electronics website and the More Triggers 16 expander available through its web shop and select dealers."

Piano Phase sequenced on the NerdSEQ

Published on Feb 3, 2019 XOR Electronics

"This is the well known Piano Phase originally by Steve Reich (1967) played on XOR Electronics NerdSEQ Eurorack sequencer.

It starts with the same pattern (00) playing 2 simple voices on 2 tracks. Each step of the 12 note long sequence needs 32 clock pulses to get to the next step. While playing i clone one pattern (00) into a new one (01). Pattern 01 contains now the same sequence. In Pattern 01 I change the groove setting from 32 (W) to 31 (V), so this step needs only 31 clock pulses instead of 32. You can see the decimal number right below. So now this pattern 01 on track 2 plays slightly faster than Pattern 00 on track 1.

XOR Electronics NerdSEQ MIDI early preview

Published on Nov 2, 2018 XOR Electronics

"This is the first preview of the Midi implementation for the NerdSEQ. Generally you can assign up to 6 tracks of the NerdSEQ to Midi while each track can have up to 4 voices Polyphony. Also all midi commands/data like Program Change, Pitchbend, Midi CC and more can be send to any Midi channel.
The Midi implementation is not ready yet and might take a while, but, yes it works and it will be fun!!

Stay tuned...

"DELTA SOUND LABS ORIGAMI

The Delta Sound Labs Origami is a skiff-friendly Eurorack adaptation of the much-loved Timbre circuit found in the original Buchla Music Easel. It's an essential module for West Coast synthesis, and though it pairs especially well with simple waveforms such as sine and triangle waves, this famous circuit is a wellspring of interesting harmonic content regardless of audio input.

ORIGAMI FEATURES

Wavefolder based on Buchla Music Easel Timbre circuit
Dedicated offset for fold amount
CV input for fold amount with attenuator"

"DELTA SOUND LABS SABER

The Saber from Delta Sound Labs is a loving 21st-century recreation of the famed Oberheim SEM state-variable filter. It features all the fatness and grit of the original filter, along with discreet low-pass, band-pass, and hi-pass outputs, in a compact, skiff-friendly design.

SABER FEATURES

Filter based on Oberheim SEM
Dedicated controls for Cutoff, Resonance, Input Level
CV input for filter frequency with attenuator"

Nerdseq-XOR Electronics/Vermona-TwinCUSSION/Pico System 2-Erica Synths Live modular electronica

Published on Jun 21, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi Guys.
I have a small movie in which I sequenced everything using Nerdseq from XOR Electronics, I used the VCO from Pico System 2 -Erica Synths and the second voice from Pico VOICE, the drums I used with Vermona-TwinCUSSION-drum module .
Nerdseq is great because it has up to 64 steps and each pattern can be of a different length - it is based on Tracker so the same principle of operation but with cv / trigger inputs and samples that read from the SD card.
it's a very powerful sequencer - it allows up to 176 patterns for 64 steps. while working with samples built-in several effects like distorion, bitcrusher, delay and others-this is really crazy thing."

NERDSEQ-XOR Electronics unboxing and first track

Published on Jun 15, 2018 Dziam Bass

"We have an unboxing movie and the first music made on NERDSEQ from XOR Electronics.

This amazing and addictive sequencer works in total like a workstation.

Nerdseq is a Hybrid Tracker Sequencer in the Eurorack module, which allows you to transfer the programming capabilities of the Tracker and create songs based on it, intended for introduction into the world of modular synthesis.

Nerdseq is a tracking module based on the cv module and triggering sequencer (32HP) for Eurorack systems.

It consists of 6 tracks for the generation of CV / Trigger / MOD with 18 outputs. 4 configurable user inputs, clock and reset and 2 x 2 samples of sample sequencing paths. Tracker sequencer allows direct and quick editing and has great live skills.

18 are CV and Trigger sequences. CVs can be freely assigned to the scale of notes and / or modulation. 4 multifunctional inputs

2 additional samples for 4 path samples. Samples of samples, including a special sample-FX

This is only part of the possibilities of this great machine, as well as a great start in the 90s and the then popular Tracker."

Published on Mar 2, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"This is episode 1 of our new video series featuring a different 54hp eurorack modular synthesizer every time. This 54hp case is "The Mini Rave Workstation" it features a tracker module that can sequence drums and melodies as well as play samples, 4 drum voices, a synthesizer voice and an effects module. With this powerful combination and the ability to store sequences and drum sounds you could play a whole live set with this case."
