question on Sequence Modeler

Plugins & Modules
1

As a confident VCV user I thought it’s obvious how RESET will work on LifeFormModular SequenceModeler.

But I’m confused even after reading the manual. Isn’t a trigger sent there should reset the active step to 1?

I think it has to do with what comes first (reset or the clock) this is a “long standing” problem. But you can solve it by using ML TriggerBuffer, it will make sure it jumps to and plays step1. Like this :

And a riddle…can you make the first high note play with this sequence every time you press RUN ?

Sure - Easy Peasy

Within CLOCKED “On Start” context menu, enable both “Do internal reset” and “Send reset pulse”

Not quite. :wink:

Huh? It is working for me. What are you seeing?

Did you choose “clock passthrough” on the SEQ 3.

EDIT : that is my “solution” but I also have the “on stop do internal reset” and “set reset pulse” on and that was not helping in THIS case.

So… you are right.

Sure did. The Reset prevents the internally generated trigger from firing, but does not interfere with the clock passthrough. I did not mention it because the SEQ-3 trigger was too fast to make the FM-OP sound otherwise (my attack was >0).

I don’t like that reset behavior. It was designed to solve a specific issue, but I feel like it just kicks the can down the road, creating problems elsewhere.

I wrote a bunch about the behavior of SEQ-3 at Proposed documentation for the VCV Fundamental SEQ 3 module

Thank you! I think I see now what’s going on!

I like the nord reset protocol that some vcv modules use.

Could you describe the Nord protocol Bruce, and which modules in Rack uses it?

There’s an explanation here:

Yep, that about all I know about that. I think on the last module I tested, but never released (arpeggiator) I had two options for reset, that was one of them.

Huh, looking at it, I used that as the default:

Not much in the manual, either:

There’s a little more in the Nord manual, but not a lot.
