Having arpeggio fun again with the NDLR and the JD-XA

Hello,

Ambient, drumless jam on the Model:Cycles. All notes were sequenced by the NDLR, and recorded into the Cycles. Then used conditional trigs to add variation.

Hi,

I found another annoying bug
I'm running fw 1.1.070.

If I start motif-2 (Didn't try with motif-1 but I guess its the same) and use a modulation (4beats, sine wave) to control the Motif Pattern I have no issue if I keep a low modulation value, but if I increse the mod value ( 20% with 16 as destination value for example) when I go back to the motif menu I cannot switch anymore to the motif-1 menu because the motif-2 stays frozen on the display. If I press again the motif button it goes back to display motif-2 with the proper update. If I try many times sometimes it correctly switch to motif-1 but it's very rare.

Here's a video to show the issue:

Hi,

I've noticed that when you set the mod destination to a MIDI CC the dest value is replaced by the MIDI channel.
You should find a way to keep the destination value also for CC mods cause they are quite useless without it.
An option could be to use the SHIFT together with the knob to set the Channel instead of replacing the dest value.

Thank you,

Hi, I’m going to update new firmware from my old v1.1.064. 
Wondering to do resetting the NDLR before the update or after?

Hi,

I'm using fw 1.1.070 and I found a little interface bug when using the Global Save function.
If you click shift with the top-right knob in order to save the selected global settings and you press the menu button in order to exit the settings while the Green Saved box is still present on the display then in the main page the contral box with the pad or motif info is disappearing when the green box sends the hide command.
I attach a video to show the behaviour.

Hi there,

I recently purchased an NDLR. It was working perfectly until a couple days ago. I change my midi flow that day. 

I had my soundcard midi signal going to the NDLR and to a Beatstep pro then from them two to other hardware.

Now my set up is midi clock from sound card to BeatStep pro then to various instruments including the NDLR.

My issues is that the NDLR doesn't play any patters ever since. At first when I first got it it would play patterns instantly but now it doesn't..
I'm wondering if I need to do something I don't know ..

Hi there,
   Been getting to grips (and loving!) my NDLR and am curious to see if anyone has a solution for adding rests in the pads part when using the chord sequencer?
I started off my NDLR experience mainly doing generative style stuff but recently been getting into a more structured approach using the chord sequencer.  So at the moment the only way I can see of having say the pad part play a chord for 4 beats, then another chord for say 8 beats and then have a rest for 4 beats before repeating, is to use the pad on/off CC (or via the mod matrix).  Is that the best approach?  Bear in mind I don't want to 'mute' the other parts. Ideally adjustable gate lengths would prob work better but as I understand it that's not possible.
I'm trying to find a decent way for call and response style melodies too (say motif1 plays for 1 bar, then motif2 plays for 1bar).  Again, the mute parts are the only way of doing this I think?  Perhaps editing the patterns manually could work but then you lose the ability to vary the patterns or variants etc without messing up the interplay between the two motifs.
Anyone else got a better method?
Thanks

For Accents, assume just use value of 127 for velocity, but for SLIDES, am I missing something or does there need to be a way to overlap note lengths such that midi will send slide information to my synths?  In particular, looking to get an acid vibe going and can't do so without slides/accents being in their happy place.

Hello

Feel like I’m spamming this thread, but I’m just having so much fun with the ndlr. It’s so inspiring, I don’t think I’ve ever been as productive!
