ive been using this sequencer for years and have just never really payed attention to these things and am just not fully sure what they mean or do. 

Check this out, it’s on eBay right now for 30 bucks for anyone interested  

I'm sure this is worth every penny! (cent)

I've got a couple of suggestions for The Collective to consider. It would be great if the page sets buttons behaved in the same way as the page buttons, I'd like to be able to engage 'page follow' for the page sets and I'd like to be able to specify the number of repeats a page set manifested before moving on. This way much longer song structures could be made and it would be effectively a song mode that requires no button presses.

Another suggestion, not sure how feasible it would be has occurred to me as a result of using my TR8s drum machine. It has the 'page set follow' behaviour I described above but what I didn't realise until recently is that the program changes it sends out as it switches patches seem to be sent slightly early and this has proven to be invaluable for switching page sets on the Octo and switching sequences on the MPC. The Octo and the MPC send theirs right on beat 1 and so anything being controlled by either of these is always at least 1 bar late changing.

I was about to sell the TR8s but its invaluable for now because of this functionality.

I'm sending the memory contents of the Octo to Sysex Librarian which displays the number of messages each dump contains. Is it the case that the number of illuminated pages on the Octo display +1= the number of messages displayed by Sysex Librarian? The +1 is the 'internal machine state'.

Thanks.

I'm searching for help, too, updating the nemo to 5.30.

I did the last update - to 5.00 - some years ago using linux / cutecom and it worked well.

Trying now to update to 5.30 using the little "manual" I wrote last time failed.

First sz didn't start for uploading the new .elf-file (cutecom 0.30 using MX Linux)  -> I updated to cutecom 0.50 with the actual debian-distro and also installed lrzsz.

Now the transfer of the .elf-file starts with a upload window, but no progress is done - using the byte-counter shows no transfer.

Does anyone have experience with updating the Nemo under linux and could give me some hints. Any help is appreciated. No problem, if annother distro would help.

BTW: thank you for all the work to keep the nemo swimming...

Regards

Claus
