Hello to all.

I have been able , thanks to Kris, to have the MRCC play Chords and Arps in the chosen scale
At least it works with chords of the C major scale ( C Dm Em F G Am Bdim).

But its a little tricky and I need 4 physical midi cables to make it work.

So I was thinking that it would be much simple if we had reverse routing (from midi out to midi in) 

I do not know if the hardware permits this reverse routing.

Have a nice day

Hi folks, 

My NDLR (a MK 1) is setup so that the PAD notes are on MIDI channel 5 (using USB1). I have a Launchpad Pro Mk 3 connected to the MIDI A, sending notes to be harmonized on channel 9. I use the Launchpad as a keyboard, with the NDLR handling all the sequencing and harmony.  The NDLR and the LP3 are both synced to my DAWs (Bitwig) most of the time.

Normally, this works perfectly well. However, since the latest upgrade (which is AWSOME, by the way)  I find then when I play notes in via the LP3, the Pad often (not consistently) will get stuck and just continually play a chord. It requires a midi panic hit (Shift Panic) to stop.  If I change the chords on the NDLR, the previous 'stuck' notes continue to play. If I stop the Pad via the NDLR, the stuck notes continue to play.

I do not think this is an issue with Bitwig, as it also happens when I connect the set-up to other software, such as Voltage Modular.  It also happens on all the computers I use.

I am wondering if this is a bug that's crept in, or if it is an issue with my setup.  Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Best regards,
Joe

For a long time, as recently as two weeks ago when I last used it, I was powering my microfreak with the MRCC. Today, the MRCC is acting like it's not receiving enough power. What could have changed?

Hi I am trying to set up an Elektron Model:Samples in Abelton and control it of the Midi plugs vs USB through the MRCC. I have assigned it to P3 ->3 and 3->P3 but am having a few issues. The Samples uses a midi channel for each of the sample tracks 1-6 (T1-T6)as well as 7 for FX and 8 for Program change.

   

No matter what I do adjusting any of the knobs on the Max4Live  plugin only ever effect s Channel 1 (T1) Is the MRCC only capable of outputting to one channel on each of the MIDI ports? The assumption if I should be able to select the sample track and adjust from the plugin.

   

It's also super annoying that the ports are not able to be given names or be numbered at the very least.

   

Hi all,
New NDLR user here.
Is it normal that the encoders are not always very responsive?
It can take a number of clicks before the value changes. 
I have similar on my Peak, but not as bad.

Thanks

Purchased an MRCC last week and it worked a charm. Updated firmware to v1.1.075_08-23-2023 today and now it freezes after receiving one or two notes. UI entirely unresponsive, just frozen on the activity monitor, no routing happening. Nothing.

Is there an older version of the firmware I can downgrade to? I don't know what it was on before.

Hello and HNY to everybody
I am French and i am turning 68 this Saturday so my English may be a little rusty

Anyway..

I have one Korg NanoKey2 plugged into the USB A port of the MRCC and a BOSS DS-330 synth connected with a midi cable on midi DIN 1

The DS-330 is a multitimbral synth and can play on 16 channels at the same time.

So I want to know if it is possible to , by pressing one key on the NanoKey2 , have the MRCC send a chord (3 notes or more) to the DS-330 (on one or many channels)

And it would be fantastic if the chords would be harmonized with the current Key (Major , Minor , Harmonid Minor , etc ...) or Mode (Dorian , Lydian ..)

And Even more fantastic if the chords could drive the Arpeggiator.

Have a great day and thanks for reading.

I recently got a NDLR and I am trying to make it work with the soft synths in logic audio.

I load 4 soft synths, each set to a different midi channel but when I use the NDLR, all of the midi info for pad, drone, motif 1+2 is played by each soft synth at the same time - they should all be on their own individual midi channels.
Midi info is being transmitted over USB from the NDLR to logic

I cant figure out out how to send the midi info for drone, pad, motif 1+2 (from the NDLR) to each soft synth - any thoughts or ideas where i can find a solution for this?

This may ultimately be a Logic midi configuration thing rather than a NDLR thing...not sure at this point, but I thought I would check here first before I start digging around

I've just updated my Ndlr with the 1.1.086 firmware version and now the position/patt-len encoder of motif 1/2  doesn't work anymore. Click is okay but rotation stopped having any effective action, it only moves position one step right and back. I've tried to reload firmware... but it's not better.
Any solution ?

Hi folks, really pleased to join the NDLR community ! Just a few words to introduce myself as it is my first post: My main job is sound engineer & mastering too but I also produce with others artists some progressive electronic music here in France with international artists. My configuration is hybrid , I won't speak of my peripherals here for mastering , out of subject , but about producing some old stuffs such as Akai S950 , Emu 3 , Roland MC303, Triton ProX with Moss extension, Oberheim OB12, Novation keyboard controller , Virus TI Snow ... The whole things are connected to Prism Orpheus & I work mainly in Pro Tools.
 As a happy owner of NDLR I discover each day new tricks  

I got few questions , even after reading the manual 2.0 several times.

1- I would like to know why they are so many USB outputs & most of all why they are splitted with "ALL" & "1 to 4".

2- I've been unable to random the velocity of Motifs 1 & 2. No problem for affecting LFO , amount of randomness etc but when i record in Pro Tools the result on a midi track I just see many fixed values of velocity. So here is my second question : Is there a way to modulate randomly all the value of the Rythm editor once I found a nice motif? Note that I always put before beginning a session to put the velocity value in global menu to a decent middle value, around 64.

3- Could someone explain why when editing a motif (1 or 2) the note values suddenly change, even without a LFO modulation targetting it ? Those mysterious changing values appear only when I edit a motif. Once it's done , if I work in another window, say the rythm editor , there is no more values changes. Weird.

4 - About the rotator mode. Once I activated this in the menu I've been unabled to find a right configuration with USB keyboard to hear what I do (meaning rotating chords on a virtual instrument) while another midi channel send the transposing chords. I even experienced some crashes with Pro tools. That would mean a bad midi configuration. I would need to know the best way to configure in MIDI tracks how to use this wonderful rotator mode.

I am conscious it takes time to learn deeply this kind of machine. I already made some wonderful lines of motifs, chords with it. Really really beautiful piece of gear & so grateful to the team who created it.

Thanks for reading my post & helping me.
