Video-IO Expander

HDMI or composite out, a video synthesizer, and somewhere to plug a keyboard.

At its simplest it puts the NerdSEQ display on a big screen, which is the difference between squinting at a 3.5″ panel and actually seeing your arrangement. Beyond that it is a shader-based video synthesizer with its own LFOs and envelopes, extensive modulation, and video patterns integrated into the sequence like any other track type — that side grew substantially in firmware v3.0.

The USB host input takes a computer keyboard, with a layout mapped to every NerdSEQ function plus live editing and performance. Entering a pattern from a real keyboard is much faster than from six half-size buttons.

  • HDMI Type A or composite output; clones the NerdSEQ display.
  • Shader-based video synthesizer with dedicated video LFOs and envelopes.
  • Video patterns and track type integrated into the sequence.
  • Video destinations in the mappings, automator and tables.
  • USB host input for a PC keyboard, layout mapped to the full NerdSEQ function set.

Not a standalone product — it works only with the NerdSEQ.

No USB MIDI. For that you want the Multi-IO Expander.

No HDMI cable is included.
