Here's a fun way I stumbled upon to confuse the NDLR and end up with stuck pad notes. If you have the pad playing and then hit the pad + a chord button at the same instant, the pad shows as off on the display but the notes still are still sounding. It can take a few attempts to make it happen...

Hello, I wanted to use the key in C sharp minor. This is not possible. I can only use the enharmonic key in D flat minor. In my opinion, the chords are partly wrong there. In the 3rd stage it should be E, in the 6th stage A and in the 7th stage B. However, in the 3rd stage F is displayed, in the 6th stage B and in the 7th stage C. If I could choose C sharp minor, that would be even better. Could you please help?

Hi there,

I'm new to this whole NDLR thing. I have the little machine for two weeks now.
The manual is realy Abracadabra to me and I can't understand this whole menue on de NDLR.
So is there maybe a Dutch (Nederlandse) user (gebruiker) that can help me a bit?
Thanks a lot.
Bedankt en groeten van,

Hello to all,

I have my NDLR since a few days an I was wondering, why I am not able to use Midi in or Midi thru.
I try to connect the NDLR with the Beatstep or Keystep on Din A and I cannot control the ndlr. I am sure that I am sending on the right channel. I also tried to send an external clock signal over midi and the ndlr always shows 0 bpm. It seems like midi in on the din ports is not working at all (I tried also different cables an Din port B)

Does someone have an idea what could be wrong?

Thanks a lot in advance

Dang, sounds so good... must resist the modular...

Clone of Roland System 100M. They've said in the past that the modules will be $50 to $100 USD. I'd just get the whole kit in a skiff if they make it available that way.

I have started to make a TouchOSC template to control the ndlr. TouchOSC is a powerful tool for creating custom control templates for midi gear ... somewhat like the Lemur but you use your IOS or Android device.  When it is completed I'll post it here.  YOu would just need the TouchOSC app which is under $10.00 last time I checked. I've made a lot of control templates for my studio gear.  

Question: Midi Control (beside what is in listed in the manual,  what else can be controlled?) 

1.   Are the Modulation  / LFO parameters  (where you select the LFOs sources and destinations and associated parameters) available for external midi control (Midi CCs or Note values or Sysex strings)? 
2.   Is the Chord Sequencer controllable via midi control (meaning selecting the Load and Save , Duration, Sections, Song Structure etc) - Midi CCs or Note Values or Sysex strings? 


The photos below is from my control template for the Plugiattor Synth just to give you an example of what is possible. 

If you set it up properly with your hardware you can get full parameter feedback so that it updates in real time giving you give two way control and feedback... It is just a control device it isn't a sequencer.  With some thoughtful design you can give the the gear some additional functionality such as assigning xy pads to variables so you could sweep say the pad position and range. It can't do magic... the midi specification for the unit you want to control has to be available. 

I was installing the latest firmware 1.063... pressed the firmware update button the - the  screen went black and never turned on...

Solved -  Loaded Teensy Again ... ran the process (pressed FW button again) and it took this time and the screen woke up... happy camper. Showing expected firmware.

Suggest that you add this to the firmware instructions  - that if it appears to have failed not to panic... run the process a 2nd or 3rd time for the benefit of fragile souls like myself.

Initial dabble with with my recently arrived NDLR...

Have tried several times to get my A190-4 to work with NDLR, but currently no joy.  I’ll keep trying (and make sure the transmission channels are all tested and post any updates on progress.

Firstly let me say how much I love the NDLR. Great concept, well implemented.  

I know there have been several posts re: gate control, however on a more general note I’d like to see a simple gate output on each note change.  If this could be toggled on-off in the menu (ie transmit gate ON/OFF) and then transmitted in the Midi stream, then integration with a modular system would be achievable, even at a basic level.  

I agree that control of gate length is the next desirable step (ref other posts) , but just a simple gate trigger for now would be a huge positive. 

Cheers,
Steve
