    - MIDI Performance Sequencer I Nemo at a glance Navigation basics The Grid contains all Page objects and each Page is made up of Tracks and Steps. Moving around this hierarchy tree is trivial: to jump between leaves you can always go up a level and down again.

  • Page 17: Grid

    - MIDI Performance Sequencer I Nemo at a glance Grid Nemo provides a total of 64 pages grouped in 4 banks of 16 pages each, making up the GRID. Visually a bank corresponds to one row of the matrix; hence a page corresponds to one button of the matrix.

  • Page 18: Pages

    I Nemo at a glance Pages One can think of Nemo's pages as track containers. The number of tracks in a page is 4, with a default length of 16 steps each. Musical structures longer than 16 steps are built by chaining tracks in a page, such that chained tracks are played consecutively.

  • Page 19: Attributes

    - MIDI Performance Sequencer I Nemo at a glance Attributes All of the above entities of Nemo have attributes associated with them. The range includes but is not limited to Velocity, Pitch, Length, Start, Position, and others. All attributes can be modified in real time, during play or stop.

    In this mode every row in the matrix represents a track, and every button represents a step. This is no different as you would probably expect anyways, knowing that Nemo is a chase-light pattern se- quencer. Let’s press some buttons now.
  • Page 28 - MIDI Performance Sequencer II First steps You will now hear that the pitch of the step has changed every time the chase-light passes it. Feel free to experiment as you wish, with other attributes and refer to the section on STEP mode for details.

  • Page 33: Step Real-Time Entry

    - MIDI Performance Sequencer II First steps Step real-time entry There is a simple way to tap steps into a track in real time. Simply grab the track you would like to tap into – you will notice that the STEP LED in the MODE block turns red.

  • Page 34: The Mode Block

    Generally, the MODE block is used to offer both navigation func- tionality and orientation. For example, upon power on you will see that Nemo is in PAGE mode (indicated by the blinking PAGE LED), and that you have an option to switch “up” into the GRID mode (lit green).

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer III Step mode Step attributes Looking at the front panel you see lots of buttons lit up in row 2, in- cluding the ones labeled PIT, VEL, LEN, STA, AMT, GRV, MCC. One of them will be blinking orange, by default that is PIT. The lit buttons indicate the attributes that are selectable for the step, and the blinking button indicates the currently selected attribute, per default PIT, which stands for “pitch”.

They are labeled according to the mutator functions that they trigger. A lit up mutator indicates that it is available. Please note that all mu- tator functions described here are also available from the PAGE mode, as soon as a track is selected.

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer IV Track mode Track selections Sometimes it may be convenient to make a change to more than one track at once. This can be done easily using the same method you have already seen in the STEP chapter. Creating track selections For this to work make sure you are in PAGE mode.

  • Page 49: Track Chaining

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer IV Track mode Track chaining Track chains explained A track chain is simply a defined sequence of playing tracks from a page, in a given consecutive order. Track chains are always configured in PAGE mode and are useful in creating structures longer than 16 steps per page.
  • Page 50 octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer IV Track mode Once a track chain has been created, you can also easily see how it is spread across the page. Simply select a track that is part of a chain, and you should see the following information in the selector LED column.

  • Page 54: The Mix Block

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer V Page mode The MIX block In the previous sections we have talked to a large extent about what the EDITOR block does – in short, it is used to change the attributes of a selected entity, track or step, where applicable. The MIX block may do one of two things: it may either change a par- ticular attribute value of the tracks corresponding to each of the knobs, or it may send out sound control (CC) data via MIDI.

  • Page 55: Working With Mix Maps

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer V Page mode Working with MIX maps As you have seen already, while viewing MIX maps, you may work with a particular track attribute value directly, for all tracks at once. You may tweak the value of any one track, or apply some functions to all tracks in the page.

  • Page 56: Cc Mix Maps And Sound Control

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer V Page mode CC MIX maps and Sound Control Using a CC MIX map, any MIX knob can be assigned an individual CC on a chosen MIDI channel. This is best explained using an exam- ple: from plain Page mode double click on Sound Control A to edit it.

  • Page 57: Edit State

    V Page mode EDIT state Nemo provides a quick way of previewing steps, in the sense that you can immediately hear what they contain, and how they would play under the chase-light. This applies to their inherent note data and does not account for any modulation that may actually take place at runtime.

  • Page 58: Editor Atr State

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer V Page mode Editor ATR state In Page mode, the EDIT encoder group may be temporarily assigned an attribute of PIT, VEL, LEN, STA to be modified while in Page mode. Engage To engage it, hold any of the track selector buttons 1-4, while pressing the EDIT button.

  • Page 65: Page Clusters

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer VI Grid mode Page clusters So far we have only played pages one by one. There is a way to make pages play consecutively; this allows you to create structures longer than one page alone has to offer. Building clusters In order to play two or more pages consecutively they have to be situated next to each other in the Grid.

  • Page 66: Page Play Parameters

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer VI Grid mode Page play parameters Page repeats Page clustering can become even more fun, as you can set the number of repetitions individually for each page. For example, page A can play 4 times, page B 2 times and page C 1 time, etc. The number of repeti- tions can be any value between 1 and 16, where 1 is the default value.

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer VII Performance tools VII Performance tools This section presents some tools that are especially useful in performance situations, allowing for unmatched freedom in your workflow! Working with pages This section is assuming we are working in the Grid mode, where we have control over the behavior of individual pages.
  • Page 68 octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer VII Performance tools grid mode. The page velocity factor is a master determinant of the velocity produced by note content in a particular page. If the patch on your sound source is velocity sensitive, you should be able to easily create fade-ins and fade-outs using this functionality.

  • Page 69: Working With Step Selections

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer VII Performance tools Working with step selections Inverse step selection editing Back to Page mode, active step selections are edited using the EDIT encoders for the respective attribute. Additionally, when a step selection is active, the steps that are not se- lected in the page may be edited as well, using the MIX encoders of the respective attribute, where again the mapping 1-4 applies to PIT, VEL, LEN, STA.

  • Page 70: Grid-Track Mode

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer VII Performance tools Grid-Track mode GRID-TRACK is a sub-mode of the Grid Mode. GRID-TRACK provides most of the Grid functionality described above, allowing a different view on your MIDI data. Here, matrix buttons represent tracks and have the functionality of track selectors, as described for the Page Mode.
  • Page 71 octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer VII Performance tools Zooming into tracks You may do much lower-level editing of tracks, simply by double- clicking a virtual selector to enter TRACK mode for that track, i.e. zooming into that track. And you know your way around there al- ready.

  • Page 73: Musical Tools

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer VIII Musical tools VIII Musical tools The section provides descriptions for tools that are of value on the musical side of things, such as chords and scales. Step chords The next section will assume we are working in Step mode. To follow along, please make sure to enter Step mode before we move on.

  • Page 74: Strumming Chords

    The message is that you are now strumming the chord down. Note that in Nemo the strum configuration affects the note start val- ues only. Also, the strum effect increases exponentially with the strum level chosen.

  • Page 75: Step Re-Triggers

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer VIII Musical tools Step re-triggers When we described chord composition earlier on we asked not to press the button of the base note. Time to discuss that in detail now. A step chord is telling the step how many notes to play and at which pitch intervals.

  • Page 80: Track Attribute Factors And Flows

    Nemo provides a set of pre-defined flows that can be applied to any track attribute that has a factor. To see which ones they are, switch to Track mode and click on the Factor button in row 3.
  • Page 81 octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer IX Advanced topics MCC values. In addition, intermediate CC messages may be sent be- tween CC steps. This effectively increases resolution of the MCC stream, resulting in smoother controller flows. When selecting the track MCC factor, row 4 lets you determine the resolution level, i.e the resolution for the current track may be se- lected via the four rightmost buttons of the fourth row.

  • Page 82: Step Events

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer IX Advanced topics Step events Steps may be used to generate so called events. Events are simply automated changes that happen at runtime. In general terms, an event is a programmed change of the attributes of a track and is at- tached to a step.
  • Page 83 octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer IX Advanced topics and the sum of the base and the interval size. The event is therefore always incremental. Event execution Another detail that may be of interest is that events will always exe- cute exactly on the beat and not be influenced by the step’s STA value to be pulled or pushed against the time line.

  • Page 84: The Effector

    Octopus, equally applies to Nemo, of course except for the part of operation which is device specific. In each Nemo and Octopus page there is the notion of an Effector. In simple terms, the effector is a mechanism allowing tracks inside a page to modulate other tracks inside the same page.
  • Page 85 octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer IX Advanced topics Effector dry-run In the Octopus example below, Track 9 is feeding its Step offsets for VEL, PIT and LEN into the effector. This means that all listeners in the page may be modulated by those offsets.

  • Page 86: Playing The Effector

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer IX Advanced topics Similarly, Tracks 3 and 2 are set as further feeders, which means that the last listener, Track 0, is being modulated by four feeders: Tracks 9, 6, 3, and 2. Assuming Tracks 3 and 2 each have a Step PIT offset of -2, this means that the net PIT offset for row 0 is: +3 -1 -2 -2 = -2.
  • Page 87 octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer IX Advanced topics A listening feeder gets modulated first and then amplifies the incom- ing modulation with its own effector feed. A track is a listening feeder as soon as both Feed and Listen switches are active in the Effector area.

  • Page 88: Note Attribute Computation

    octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer IX Advanced topics Note attribute computation In the following we would like to summarize the mechanism of note attribute computation. The model is depicted by the diagram below. Some explanation is necessary here on how to read the picture. Velocity Let’s use the VEL attribute first as an example.
  • Page 89 octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer IX Advanced topics The only difference is in the application of the page PIT offset, which is an actual numeric offset, as opposed to a factor in the case of veloc- ity. The pitch value is also bound within the 0...127 interval. Start The note start value represents the trigger position of the note with respect to the “beat bar”, which would be a “0”.

  • Page 91: Midi In

    - MIDI Control Sequencer X MIDI IN X MIDI IN Nemo is capable of both recording and reacting to MIDI IN data in a multitude of ways. This is yet another power tool in your hands. The following section digs into the details.
  • Page 92 Reflection notes on MIDI recording While MIDI recording is one of the most exciting and useful features in Nemo, some restrictions do apply, as we have seen already. The MIDI recording capability of Nemo and Octopus, while exten- sive and clearly unmatched in hardware step sequencers, should not be considered as “what goes in necessarily has to come out”...

  • Page 93: Midi Controller Stream Recording

    This includes pitch bend and channel pressure, which are handled by Nemo in a similar fashion to a controller. Note that pitch bend data is recorded using two value bytes (as speci- fied in the MIDI protocol), essentially with an available resolution of 14 bits.

  • Page 94: Step Note Recording

    - MIDI Control Sequencer X MIDI IN Step note recording Nemo offers an alternative to note stream recording, and that what we term step-note recording. Note that this is not the same as step recording in other sequencers, therefore the slightly different name.
  • Page 95 octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer X MIDI IN Track pitch assignment Finally, if you don’t hold a step key pressed but a track selector while in step-note record mode, you will dynamically and directly change the pitch assignment for that particular track. You can observe the change in pitch assignment directly in the pitch circle, while holding the track selector pressed.

Pause and Resume (pressing pause again) will not realign the chase-light Interface locking Sometimes you may want to hide the Nemo from preying eyes or even unauthorized button pressers. At any time, regardless of the playing status of the machine, you can engage the interface lock by holding GRID and pressing ESC at the same time.

  • Page 100: Midi Clock Synchronization

    MIDI clock selection Per default, Nemo does not send or react to MIDI Clock informa- tion. However, Nemo may act as a MIDI clock master in your setup, or will slave to some other source. The central switch of the clock behavior (master, slave, or agnostic), is the Stop button in the transport bar, also labeled “Clock”.

  • Page 101: Saving The Instrument State

  • Page 102: Exporting Memory Content To Midi

    - MIDI Control Sequencer XI General tools Exporting memory content to MIDI Nemo may export content of its memory by the means of MIDI sys- tem exclusive (SYSEX) dumps. This is particularly useful when you would like to archive data on a computer, or even share memory content across Nemo machines.
  • Page 103 octopus - MIDI Control Sequencer XI General tools Once the page is received, the machine will switch to GRID mode and the page data is pasted from the incoming SYSEX buffer into the page memory. This operation is equivalent to a page copy that takes place as soon as the full page data set has been successfully received.
