Hi all,

Could a NDLR motif play a drum machine? For instance, if the drum is set to MIDI channel 10, and expects certain note values for the 8 different drum sounds. How is this typically done? Could I connect a keyboard to the NDLR for the MIDI-learn part that the drum machine needs to assign the notes to the sounds? Or just dial in a "one note" pattern note by note to teach the drum?

Thank you for any tipps!

Hey,

can anyone confirm NDLR will work with this?

I am afraid it doesn´t power.

Had a hard time updating my NDLR.   Problem turned out to be the USB hub. Plugged USB from NDLR straight into Mac   and update finally worked. 

Some glitch hop using the NDLR paired with a Model Samples.

Put this together after my first night with the NDLR. Enjoy!

Had a great pow wow with our extended development team this week.

First, we met with Paul who is our circuit design and PCB layout mentor. He's got 30 years experience working on electronic musical instruments, primarily as lead design engineer for commercial scale virtual pipe organs. We were having an issue with the USB hub controller not consistently starting on one of the prototype boards. Turned out we were missing a critical capacitor on the 1.8V power output from the integrated regulator. That was the last thing we needed to understand before starting the next PCB layout!


Another big development is, after some more prototyping, we are planning to move to an even faster MCU. Not because its necessary for MRCC, but because we need it for future projects so we might as well start now. Its the fastest MCU on the market, 600MHz, way overkill for MIDI routing and effects but also very low power and great feature set. Its a little cheaper than the current one as well, amazing. The challenge will be the high pin count, fine pitch BGA (Ball Grid Array) routing on the PCB. Paul has offered to help with this, he's got the experience with BGA layout.

Last night we met with Ben and Nick. Ben is a veteran mechanical engineer (and just got his EE degree as well), and Nick is an award winning industrial designer and user interface expert. We had a great brainstorming session on the enclosure design. We are now leaning towards using an extruded aluminum enclosure. Ben will send us some sample drawings to help decide. The enclosure will support rack ears so we can make it work for desktop and rack.

We'll share that enclosure design as soon as we can!

NDLR manual clearly says the voltage limit is 5V. Is it possible to patch a makenoise Tempi (10V. gate/trigger) into clk in somehow?

Hi there!

I just got a second hand NDLR, in the display I can read "Firmware v1.1.029".

I downloaded the manual and there I can see it refers to Firmware version 1.1.053.

Is my version obsolete? Should I update it to a newer version?

Thank you for a clarification.

Hi all, eagerly awaiting my NDLR ,hopefully get it as they say end of sept  but have millions of ideas and questions so as they come into my head i may pester a few of you . the burning one just now is am I able to connect usb to synth? IE I have a blofeld as demo shows but i see it connected through 5pin midi. I also have an elektron A4 so wondered the same about this.

Mayn thanks!

We forgot to mention, there will be a "Panic" button! It will send all notes off to all ports in the event of a stuck note. Just press the button combination to send it.
