"Finally the long awaited Dualchord Expander has been released. Being twice a four voice oscillator = 8 oscillators = 32 simultaneous waveforms it is your perfect generator of mono and paraphonic sounds. Many extras like 8 LFOs, Stereo Dephase, Morph etc.
It integrates seamless into the #nerdseq ecosystem. The (stereo)sounds here are purely generated with it, no additional filters etc.
Available now!

Borderlands Granular // Tetrax // Wsyn // Dradd // Data Bender // Just Friends

video upload by Lesjamusic

"I often find myself using Borderlands Granular on the iPad as a sketech pad for new ambient compositions. It's such a great use of the screen and the touchpad - it might just be my favourite granular instrument.

I wanted both Mannequins modules to run through Shakti and Dradd, and so I realised that Quadratt could be used as a small submixer too - super helpful.

Here's what's happening:
Borderlands Granular ➡️ Xcelon
Norns ➡️ Wsyn ➡️ Quadratt ➡️ Shakti ➡️ Dradd ➡️ Xcelon
Nerdseq ➡️ Just Friends ➡️ Quadratt ➡️ Shakti ➡️ Dradd ➡️ Xcelon
Tetrax ➡️ Data Bender ➡️ Xcelon
The Xcelon send and return channels go to Sealegs and Bib. Playfader controls p1 and p2 on Dradd, which is in granular mode"

SUPERBOOTH 2024: XOR Electronics - Nerdseq Expanders

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, Thomas from XOR Electronics showcased their new expanders for the NerdSeq sequencer. The dual-core expander features a two times four voice oscillator with 32 waveforms that can be independently mixed, allowing for multi-octave chords to be played in a paraphonic way. Integrated into the NerdSeq, the expander also includes eight LFOs for manipulating different parameters within the waveform, as well as a stereo mode with two audio outputs for creating a rich stereo field.

In addition to the dual-core expander, XOR Electronics introduced a small add-on module for the TipTop Art System, enabling polyphonic sequencing with up to six columns of notes. This module, compatible with the Art protocol, is a cost-effective solution for integrating polyphonic sequencing into the Art system. With both products set to be available in the summer, these expanders offer expanded capabilities for electronic musicians seeking new ways to explore and experiment with their sound. For more information on the dual-core expander and the add-on module for the TipTop Art System, visit the XOR Electronics website."

Anamnesis (4/4) - The Temple

video upload by Hélène Vogelsinge

Follow-up to Anamnesis (4/4) - The Lake

"Anamnesis (3/4)

The Temple ⛪

At the top of the village stands the church, one of the remnants that has been most spared by time. Built in the 11th century, it is made of heavy stones. Within these stones, centuries of history have accumulated.

Centuries of faith and hope; the sustenance of the pilgrim; those that propel forward but do not eliminate obstacles and do not offer a definitive abode.

Although devastated, the village is not part of the past,
and there are still a few lineages to bear witness to its
past existence.The descendants of the last farmer live
among the ruins, and we can still hear the sound of life
in the distance.

✨ 👁️ ✨ 👁️ ✨

Anamnesis is a 4-episode series which
immerses us in an ancestral story.
A story about a village and its inhabitants.
A story of resistance and its inescapable faith.

‘All ideas about the past, the present and the
future were shaped and made meaningful by
beliefs and expectations related to the End Times.

The final battle between good and evil and
the down of a new, divine order to death,
divine judgment and eternal afterlife’.

Sending you much Light
✨✨✨
🙏🙏🙏

« And now these three remain: faith, hope
and love. But the greatest of these is love. »

Always with 📷 Chalisk Pito

NerdSEQ Firmware V2.0 and Multi-IO Expander release

video upload by XOR Electronics

"Finally I am happy to announce you the new NerdSEQ firmware V2.0 and the new Multi-IO Expander release! There have been many updates since the initial release of the NerdSEQ 6 years ago but this time it is the most massive update so far!

Adding a new mapping screen which allows to modulate everything with everything, adding calculations and even simple scripting/code.
A new scaling screen with many scale presets, user scales and microtuning per note.
A new tracktype which allows polyphonic sequencing and the drummatrix to sequence Midi, I2C, CV/Gate ...
New edit modes to fill in notes/values and make sequences on-the-fly.
Updated Midi Routing allows the use of 3 independent Midi Ports with the Multi-IO Expander.
I2C support for distingEX, ER301, Just friends, 16n/F8R and clones....
External control of all parameters in the NerdSEQ.

There is much more in this new firmware and I squeezed even more out of the NerdSEQ hardware!!
As usual the new firmware is free to download on the XOR Website.

Also the new Multi-IO Expander is finally released which is the new Midi and I2C Expander. It got 3 Midi Ports:
- USB Host - Connect a Launchpad, Midi Keyboard, Midi Controller etc
- USB Device - Connect with the Computer and you got a NerdSEQ Midi Device to use with a DAW
- TRS-A Midi - Classic TRS-A / DIN Midi ports
They are 2 x I2C Ports which can be used in a flexible way to act as a Leader or as a Follower
- Encoder and Buttons allow to use new edit modes, to dial in notes and values

The new firmware and more information is available on the XOR Website:

Anamnesis (4/4) - The Lake

video upload by Hélène Vogelsinger

"A n a m n e s i s ( 4 / 4 )

The Lake

The creation of the lake, 73 years earlier,
led to the flooding of the agricultural land
of the village's inhabitants.

Thus pushing them to leave their home,
where many generations have succeeded
one another since the twelfth century.

The resistance fighters were expropriated;
sealing the fate of these centuries of history.

Although devastated, the village is not part of the past,
and there are still a few lineages to bear witness to its
past existence.The descendants of the last farmer live
among the ruins, and we can still hear the sound of life
in the distance.

The 'Right' Sequencer | Modular Composing | Episode 02

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Your possibilities to compose on a Modular Synth are directly related to the sequencer you're using. So picking the 'right' sequencer for your work is an important task. Your biggest challenge would be to compose or arrange a full song with beats, bass, lead and maybe even chords. I thought it would be fun to use Kraftwerk's 1976 Trans-Europe Express as a 'benchmark', but it turned out a big challenge. It has a simple rhythm (no problem), a super simple bass, a lead and the characteristic 'note ladder' that jumps 5 semitones each 1/2 note. This takes 128 regular steps and sequencers ususally stop at 16, 32 or 64 (if you're lucky). Clock divisions could take care of that. But the song transposes to a different key when the 'note stairs' plays and you'll need a powerful sequencer to transpose all voices to a new key and then turn back. Ground Control and Westlicht Performer couldn't pull it off. I had zero knowledge of NerdSeq at the beginning of this video, but it turned out to be the only sequencer I know of that can do a full song. It's an incredible sequencer/tracker, but it also has a 100+ page manual.

Sequencers roughly come in three flavors: linear, cartesian and arbitrary. The most useful sequencers can do drums, strict patterns and generative parts. I've included Five12 Vector and Eloquencer in my overview, but I have no experience with them. My 'findings' in this video are biased by my own music and workflow and I double-checked the manuals of modules I don't know. It's possible I overlooked some features. I am aware Vector can do drums, but I felt you'd need a dedicated drum pattern editor to qualify as a drum sequencer.
