Same. I guess they originally designed it as a mono synth and later turned it into a flagship poly?

Has anyone tried the new multi track sequencer? I’ve just installed it, read the manual and watched a bit of their tutorial. But honestly, I find it really confusing and didn’t manage to record anything once I’ve entered the new multi track sequencer.
I can’t even clarify the two most basic things, so can anyone clarify if (and how) I can just:
- Live record notes on atrack from an external (or the internal) keyboard? The manual and tutorial only speak of automation live recording. I can only work with sequencers when live recording notes, grid recording is useless to me unless maybe for some drums.
- Manually start the sequencer like I used to be able on the old Nina sequencer. Hitting “run” does nothing …
Thanks for helping, if these things aren’t possible, I don’t need to get into this.
Would be unfortunate, since the sequencer seems to be more or less an Elektron sequencer and I would try it out when noodling solo with Nina and see if I can get things done this way. Having trig locks integrated with the motorized knobs showing the values is a huge plus over the Elektron sequencer.
hey yeah I’ve been messing with it,
-
at the moment live note recording isn’t in the beta, only automation via the knobs (press rec + run, led should flash in this mode)
-
hitting run should definitely start the sequencer, are you running off internal midi clock?

Thanks! I’ll try it again with MIDI clock set to internal - once they’ve implemented live note recording ;).
What’s your thoughts about the new sequencer?
Really enjoying it aside from a few little bugs (and obv the lack of the live input) but have managed to get some fun lil jams going with 4 tracks and some weird parameter action, just takes a lil bit to get used to the key inputs/ui, using a keystep to at least get notes and chords in per step 
new noise types are awesome too

Yeah, they’ve updated the sequencer, it now has live note recording:

I don’t know if it’s been fixed with this FW but in this video, inputting notes on the Sequencer seems buggy. Or it may be user error.

They squashed a few bugs with the latest OS, so hopefully everything is fine now. I’ll report back after vacation. I find it more and more appealing that I could now build sequences with just Nina and a keyboard and have all of the automation and plocks be shown by knob movements. Just record the loops and build on them in on another device.

How’s the saving system with this new Sequencer? Does it save the 4 sequences with the sounds used and can you recall those sequences via Program Changes?

I haven’t used it yet, since it didn’t have live note recording. I’m pretty sure sequences are saved independently of patches though, and the manual said something about basically endless amounts of patterns that can be saved.
I think the 16 buttons that Nina uses for sequences are quite close to Elektrons / drum machine classics, so it should hopefully feel alright to use these (unlike the clunky sequencers on most poly synths).
