Hello all.

Just got my NDLR today, have printed the manual and had an introductory fiddle hooked up to my iPad. My absolute first impression is disappointment with how the encoders behave. I see it mentioned elsewhere here, but basically the values skip or lag unpredictably on most (all?) encoder functions. Taking as a simple example selecting the MIDI channel for any given output in the settings page, I would expect a single click of the encoder to reliably change the value up or down by one step. It doesn't - sometimes it's one, sometimes two, sometimes none. Same behaviour on every function I have tried so far.

Flight simmers will be reminded of the dreaded Saitek radio panels  

Afternoon All. I'm getting on well with the ndlr, incredible machine. I've found it very straightforward to use apart from the chord sequencer which I cant get my head around though have made several attempts. Id be really grateful if someone could offer step by step instructions or upload a video? 

Thanks 

Rob

Hello Noodlers,

just received my NDLR, super fast shipping, thanks for that.

I just had a quick look and noticed the buttons 6 + 7 (for Menu 1 + 2) had to be pressed really hard to function. Just pressing until the encoder clicks does nothing. It's working, but it's a bit annoying.

Anything I can do about it? Not sure if I want to return it. I probably have to pay around 80€ for the for the customs fee again, which is quiet steep.

Cheers

The short of it: add musical randomisation wherever possible. For example, the pattern
editor could benefit from random pattern generation. Feel free to comment with a NDLR feature that could use a randomize button.

Hi guys,

thought of flagging a reddit post, someone found the NDLR going for $70 from an unknown company, Plattermoon:
https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/co...cam_right/

and this is the "product" page:
https://www.plattermoon.top/collections/...rpeggiator

the amount of imposters nowadays..

would it be possible to develope or include in a firmware update the possibility of level setting on the various parts on the NDLR

Hi Darryl and Steve,

I'm planning on putting my MRCC on my pedalboard. In the hopes of having less power connections to make, I'm hoping the MRCC could draw power from the power supply I already have on the board. Do you guys know what the power draw might be and if it could run off a 400 mA 9V connection?

And a followup: the MRCC should be able to power something like the Squarp Pyramid sequencer (https://squarp.net/pyramid), which is powered by a 5V 500mA mini USB connection?

Thanks!

I'm having trouble syncing the NDLR. 

When MPC is master, the NDLR seems to keep its own clock but running at the incoming pace, and adjust it constantly to get in sync, like a DJ with turntables, nudging, a little faster, a little slower, etc., you can clearly see it happening watching the tempo indicator. Sometimes it just dropped to 3/4 speed when starting, totally mismatching. 

The other way around, which I don't want because then the MPC can't select (and store) the patches for my synths, doesn't sync nicely either. First it was receiving double midi or something, through the interconnected USB cable which I thought I was just using for power. It was running 2 times too fast. Anyway, at the right tempo, it's not tight at all. 

Uhm...   
The unit should be able to be a tight midi slave, right?

This'd be handy for example if you wanted the velocities of two Motifs to modulate opposite of one another or have the ranges of two parts shift to opposing octaves and back to the same octave. Also just for negative unipolar modulation in general.

My ndlr arrived 3 days ago. It's an amazing piece of kit - inspiring, creative, saves me having to learn how to play keyboard which is clearly never going to happen, it's simple yet complex and immediate but this is also the problem. The one concern I had when I ordered was the very limited memory and/or inability to dump patterns. I have already saved 3 patterns and will very quickly fill the 8 provided.
