  NDLR and Elektron Digitone
Posted by: synthdad - 04-22-2019, 12:35 PM - Forum: Show me what you got! - Replies (3)

The Elektron Digitone is a wicked synth, and I love the sounds I can get form it with just a few random tweaks. What better candidate for a NDLR jam?

In this video the Digitone MIDI sequencer is controlling the chord changes on the NDLR using Notes on trigs. By looping between patterns I basically build up the song. The LFO on MIDI tracks 1 and 2 are moving the pad position up and down the range, and also expanding and contracting the range of the motif 1 pattern. This creates a lot of dynamic movement., especially when combined with the arpeggiator on the Digitone.

Once I figured out the MIDI mapping for the NDLR it became a much more versatile instrument for me. Next is to learn the mod matrix options on it.

Music First gig with NDLR
Posted by: pickletech - 04-22-2019, 11:48 AM - Forum: Show me what you got! - Replies (1)

Had a slot at an electronic/experimental/noise all-dayer in Ipswich yesterday, so it was a prime opportunity to take the NDLR out in public! I haven't dived in deep with pattern editing and suchlike as even the simple features of the NDLR provide a lot of fun - I'm sure advanced usage will come later.

Behringer Neutron (drone)
Roland D-05 (pad)
Akai Rhythm Wolf (bass synth on motif 2, drums triggered by CLK OUT as Akai screwed up MIDI with this unit)

  New member of my synth family
Posted by: Darryl - 04-20-2019, 05:15 PM - Forum: Synths and Gear News, Discussion - No Replies

In my growing collection of neglected synths, I just scored a deal on a DSI Poly Evolver Keyboard (PEK). I already have a MEK and desktop Evolver, so I guess I'll have to try poly-chaining them, or better, I can use The NDLR's interleaved polychain to play different patches on them from the PAD part. But first, this Poly Evolver has the infamous bad encoders so I have to send the boards to DSI for repair. It might have some other issues but its hard to tell with the encoders being so flakey. While I have it apart, first thing I need to check is the MOD wheel, its not working at all. Tried the calibration process and still no luck.

  Play chords when everything stopped
Posted by: oldgearguy - 04-19-2019, 07:53 AM - Forum: Feature Requests - Replies (5)

Question -- is there a way that the NDLR can just play the chord triggered by the front panel buttons?
It would be when all 4 parts are stopped.

It's useful (to me) to be able to hear some manual chord progressions before I play/record/sequence them.  I have been using the Pad with trigger set to None, but obviously the pad is designed to sustain and I'd like to be able to press and hold and then release the button(s) to hear how it sounds on a synth and maybe adjust the synth params, etc as I'm messing around.

thanks

  what synths to get for a new ndlr?
Posted by: MrPipes - 04-18-2019, 02:52 AM - Forum: General Support - Replies (28)

Hi...I will be ordering a ndlr soon

I am a singer (baritone and deeep bass) and player of various acoustic instruments. But I never learnt to read music

My skills are in toplining...if I have a nice melodic/rhythmic groove I love to create a melody and a vocal and then lyrics

I have always found hardware stompbox loopers to be my best partner to make new songs and have fun. I am adhd and oddly resistant to software...preferring to stomp or press a button or two every so often and then go to my happy creative place 

You can see why I am hoping the ndlr might be my friend - although I do recognise I will need to engage with the software element of it!

I am hoping to have a set up where a drone note is complimented by me changing the chordy loveliness as I work out where the song could go...and possibly leading to performing long ambient (actually I think that may not be the best word) sets live


But I am not in that demographic of “you already have loads of synths”

I do have a Protools studio and a midi keyboard..and an ipad or two

So...there is lots of potential there and I am interested in recommendations for software synths - thank you

And I’d also like to know what hardware synths you’d recommend 

And perhaps especially ones that are super simple for non keyboardists...maybe usb or battery powered would maximise ndling pleasure? Or should I start with ipads and see how it goes?

As always I am assuming that start small and cheap is the wisest option

Thank you for any help and advice you can offer

  Relationship of global velocity settings to rhythm velocity
Posted by: synthdad - 04-18-2019, 02:49 AM - Forum: General Support - Replies (2)

Hi everyone,

Diving in deeper on my NDLR I'm trying to understand how MIDI note velocities are generated for the motifs. I was driving my Deluge synths from the NDLR and the Deluge was clipping the output hard for motifs even though I set the global MIDI velocity to 50 in settings. When I looked at the output in MIDI Monitor I saw that the note velocity was still 127 on all MIDI notes from the NDLR. I had to hand edit each step in a rhythm to make the NDLR change the MIDI velocities (which was a bit painful given the sensitivity on the knobs).

Is there a relationship between global and per-rhythm note velocities? Does one take priority over the other? Do they multiply each other?

This is on the 1.1.029 beta firmware.

Thanks!
Mark

  Buzzzy! A little companion for the NDLR ?
Posted by: Noize - 04-15-2019, 04:06 AM - Forum: Synths and Gear News, Discussion - Replies (3)

Hi,

I hope you won't mind a little shameless announcement for something that may be a good mate for your speechless NDLR.
Buzzzy! is the project of a friend of mine.
It is a 16 voice / 4 part digital USB & MIDI module with 4 synthesis engines and quality built-in effects.

Full info on the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/130...-polysynth

The campaign just started and received a good feedback 'till now but if you can spread the word ... I think this is the compact setup I was looking for: A ndlr and a small poly module USB powered. a nice suitcase combo. and for a correct price.
