Editing the settings

The settings are accessible by pressing .
Use to select, change, and save a setting value.

The color of the setup button will change according to the step:

All settings are saved and applied automatically. They are also preserved when the firmware is updated.

Reading letters and abbreviations on the display

Understanding what the display is telling you can be a bit tricky if you are not used to it. This is the alphabet used by the Nome:

Note that the dot is used for separation, for example: reads Auto-Play.

The 3-letter abbreviations used are trying to be as clear and as consistent as possible.

Here is a list of all setting names abbreviations and their meaning:

And here are some of the other abbreviations used (as setting values, among others):

• & : MIDI Output 1 and 2 (on the back of the device)

• : both MIDI Outputs (1 and 2)

• : Playing function, i.e. the ability of doing start/stop

• : constant, i.e. something that is permanently on

• : follows Play, i.e. something that is only on after a Play button is pressed

• : follows Mute, i.e. something that is on when the metronome is unmuted

• : DIN Sync mode (also called sync24)

• : resyncing, typically sent on the device’s MIDI and ANLG outputs

Considerations on how to configure your Nome

There are quite a lot of settings, but most of them are very simple. Just have a quick look at the list so you know what is possible, and you can forget about the settings that do not concern you.

Most users report they went to the settings once, to customize their Nome to their liking, then never went back in again.

To make it less overwhelming, they are separated in two lists, the advanced settings being less likely to be changed regularly.

Note that whenever the device has to choose between MIDI Output 1 and 2 to trigger an action, MIDI Output 1 is chosen. In other words,

For example:

• When the TAP LED, the Mute function, or the ANLG outputs “follow play”, they will follow whether MIDI Output 1 is playing or not

• When configured in DIN Sync mode, the ANLG output follows MIDI Output 1

• When the first play button is configured to act on both outputs, it will light up according to MIDI Output 1

On the other hand, when it’s explicit, the Nome chooses the appropriate output.

For example:

• any configuration on the ANLG ring/right will follow MIDI Output 2

(while will follow output 1)

• The second play button will always act on MIDI Output 2

• Two pedals configured as will each act on their own output

The list of basic settings

⁽¹⁾ When out of the settings, adjust both volumes quickly by holding down the Setup button and turning the Knob.

⁽²⁾ when selecting , , or to , the tempo LED will stop blinking and react to taps on the pad, or to input audio/analog pulses. This way you can check the volume/strength of the input.

⁽³⁾ Here is a diagram to better understand those 3 options:

The list of advanced settings

⁽¹⁾ Pedal 1 configured as act like the play buttons: short press does start/stop, while a long press does resync. Using one pedal only will affect the MIDI output controlled by the play button 1 (i.e. setting). Using two pedals will each control one MIDI output.

⁽²⁾ Short press applies the next preset, long press applies the previous preset.
Or use both pedals, in this case pedal 1 = previous preset and pedal 2 = next preset.

⁽³⁾ Pedal 2 is the Ring/Right part of the INPUT plug, it can be used in conjunction with any of the settings. When configured as a single pedal, long press is disabled, so that you can start your machines more precisely on the press (and not release).

⁽⁴⁾ When using this option, you can still mute/unmute with a pedal, MIDI Commands, or by changing the setting to .

⁽⁵⁾ The two pedals’ polarity is automatically detected when leaving the settings and when the device restarts. Make sure not to press the pedal at that time.

⁽⁶⁾ When count-off is enabled, a double-tap will stop the sequencers / unmute the metronome (depending on the count-off setting).

⁽⁷⁾ Latching pedals cannot do a “long-press”, so using such a pedal will not give the possibility to load the previous preset or to resync (for example).

Extra metronome settings

The Nome’s metronome has extra settings that can only be configured using the Sim’n Tonic Config Tool.

These settings are saved on the device just like the others, but are not accessible from the device itself.

You can also use the same Sim’n Tonic Config Tool to upload custom user click sounds for the metronome (i.e. , , , and ).
