XOR Electronics NerdSEQ IO Expander Bundle (Black)

The NerdSEQ is a 10 channel tracker based sequencer for Eurorack systems. It consist of 6 tracks of CV/Trigger/Gate with each track containing 2 CV outputs and 1 Trigger/Gate output. There are 4 further sample tracks with 2 dedicated audio outputs for sample sequencing. Dedicated clock/reset inputs and outputs are available for different clock types. There is also 4 free assignable CV inputs that can be used for live manipulation or CV/Gate recording.

The sequencer itself is inspired on old module trackers like Fasttracker2 (PC), OctaMED (Amiga), LittleSoundDJ (Gameboy) and Little Piggy Tracker (Multiple Platforms).

It contains many, very powerful functions for sequencing like an advanced live ability, pattern lengths up to 64 steps, chaining, poly-rhythmic tracks, groove, glide, ratcheting/retrigger, flexible trigger/gate/step lengths, patches, special effects, probability, tables and more.

The sampler tracks have special functionalities for sample playing such as pitch shifting, sample effects, retrigger and many more. Samples can be loaded from a dedicated microSD card input available on the front panel.

The sequencer is able to make loops and full songs (even multiple songs on one project, depending on complexity, usage of patterns etc.) Projects can be saved and loaded on/from the microSD card.

All editing is implemented in a very easy way. So every screen or edit option can be accessed through one key or Shift Key. No complex submenus or menu diving is needed.

The NerdSEQ IO Expander enhances the NerdSEQ with a Midi-In, Midi Out (DIN5) port and a connector for a Sega Gamepad controller.

The Midi functionality is for clocking as Master/Slave, to play and record from Midi (Midi?CV Conversion) and soon to sequence Midi as well.

The Gamepad Connector can connect to a Sega Gamepad8. This can be used for navigation, editing and live playing. For now there is only a basic definition of the buttons, but it will be customisable in the future so you can assign each button to a function.

The expander is connected with a ribbon cable on the back side of the NerdSEQ (PAD-Midi) and requires no extra power supply.
