I ran into an interesting issue while traveling with my NDLR and my Synthstrom Deluge. If I use USB Host mode on the Deluge to power the NDLR and connect to the Deluge, then the MIDI clock runs at 2x or sometimes 4x the tempo setting on the NDLR. At home, I have everything connected with MIDI cables, and the clock sync works as expected.

I would guess that the NDLR is sending clock messages out on all USB MIDI devices, and the Deluge is interpreting them as coming from the same device (since its USB Host mode doesn’t really support multiple devices).

There are various workarounds, including not connecting USB between the devices, but it is a pretty convenient setup otherwise, in that I don’t have to carry around a separate power supply for the NDLR, and a 5-pin MIDI cable. It’d be nice to have an option on NDLR to not send clock messages to all USB devices, maybe automatically if all parts are routed to USB1, for instance?

Hi,
Received my NDLR today and it looks awesome.. but...
All the knobs on the front panel are missing!

Can someone please PM me to get them sent out??

thanks

"The NDLR accepts these messages ONLY on the MIDI 5 Pin port B and USB port 1, all SSC messages on other ports are IGNORED. "

I just beat my head against the wall for 30 minutes trying to figure out why this wasn't working, because I was using in A. Something like this shouldn't be buried deep in the depths of the manual! Now, where's the Advil....

Happy New Year everyone!

Hello,

I received my NDLR and, while I've been having a blast my Matriarch and soft-stuffs with it, however: Value changes via knob movements are very inconsistent in that it can be very hard to dial in specific values with the way the knobs pick up movements/changes.  A couple examples when dialing in settings in the mod matrix:

* For any given slot when changing the source, destination, or destination value it can take two or three clicks of the given knob before the value changes.

* When making changes to mod amount it can be difficult to get it to land a value change of +1/-1 as it seems it will often register it between knob "click" spots such that when letting go of the knob it slides either way into the "click" spot and thus either doesn't change the value or ends up with a +2 or -2 change.

With clicky encoders like this a single click should equal a single value change vs. nothing or +2/-2 as described above.  What's the point of the clicky encoders otherwise?

If any of the above described behavior is not expected let me know.  I'm in Portland and would be down to bring it to you wherever you're located to have a look at it.

Now for a suggestion:

* Working in the ability to build out extended chords beyond 7ths would be awesome, especially for the pad mode.  Maybe a Pad Editor and/or more chord types available in the Chord Sequence Editor?  That'd really add to the unit's utility as a theory-driven composition device.

Curious what’s going on here. I have an Iconnectivity Mio Xl that has 10 USB host ports. It works great with any USB MIDI device I own except the NDLR, which is not being recognized when I connect it. The NDLR powers up when connected and works great but is not appearing as a USB device. I otherwise successfully have a keystep, cirklon (which appears as 6 USB devices), SQ1, microfreak, minilogue XD, Kordbot, SE engine, and more connected to these USB host ports. Any idea why the NDLR isn’t being recognized and what I can do to remedy it?

They got one more out before end of year... insane! Sounds pretty gnarly, but sub osc on both osc? Bad@ss!

Synth Pasta. NDLR. Get it? 

https://soundcloud.com/pacothetortugamusic/synth-pasta

NDLR is connected via 5-pin to:

• microKORG (pad)
  
• Mother-32 (drone)
  
• Minilogue (motif 1)
  
• Reface CP (motif 2)
  

Hi, 
I really like to see some gate setting on all 4 parts, or at least on drone. No gate settings really giving me hard time with HW synths using some bass sound.

Thanks

I am able to control the NDLR CTRL through midi channel 16 (settings 1 page) and it changes the scales just fine when I press a note on my synth (when the Pattern Note Type of my Motif 1 is CHORD-Trans)

However, I created a new Pattern of Motif 1 that is SCALE Fixed and I am trying to control it through midi channel 15 on the KB TRANS (Settings 1 page) but when I press a key on my synth it does not change the KEY function of the NDLR, from let's say E to G. Do you know what I do wrong and how to fix it? 

Note: I am able to make a random knob of my synth control and change the KEY function of the NDLR on Midi Channel 14 of NDLR CTRL. What I am trying to achieve is use the keys of my synth to control that NDLR KEY function, so I can go directly from E to let's say B without moving a knob and having to go through E-F-G-A-B. Let me know if there's anyway of achieving this. Thank you.
