I am using the NDLR with a Nord Lead 4 and it's working very well. The 4 parts of the NDLR are controlling the 4 multi-timbral parts of the Nord, each on their own MIDI channel (1,2,3,4).

Everything works as expected until I try to use a NDLR LFO to control a MIDI CC on a Nord MIDI channel. Sometimes it works and then sometimes it doesn't. The Nord MIDI CC's are set to "receive" and the MIDI channel of the NDLR LFO and Nord are the same. The LFO modulation amount is 100%. I have tried multiple MIDI CC destinations (1-127).

Are there any Nord owners here that might have had success with this?

The only thing I can think of as to why it wouldn't work is that there is so much simultaneous MIDI information going into the Nord at one time that there is no room for any more MIDI data from an LFO. I'm not even sure if that makes sense (I'm not an expert on MIDI technicalities!).

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
I would really like to be able to record the chord changes to one of my Ensoniq TS 10 sequencer tracks.
There is the key+ function - I'd like to propose a key++ function, where you can play full chords that the NDLR recognizes, like:
C E G for C major
C Eb G for C minor
C E (G) Bb for C7...
I think you know what I mean.
The cc programming is just too complicated for me.
Anybody that thinks that could be a good idea?

Great little box, though, this NDLR...yeah!

Hi and hello everybody,
I got my NDLR 3 weeks ago and started trying everything.
I would like to have the option to save the 8 presets to my PC somehow.Maybe like MidiOx...
I want to do live performances and that limits me to basically 8 setups (or songs). I think I'd need more...
What do you think?

Happy noodeling!
Thomas

So I'm loving the NDLR I got in the mail a few weeks ago, so far I can't find any way to lock the length of any pattern. When I don't use all the steps available I end up with a lot of space on the overview. When switching from one pattern of a greater length to another I end up with a bunch of blank spaces and no easy way to lock the number of steps. Is this just a feature I'm not seeing or is it something that could be implemented?

It became night when he rode into town

Dirt built up on horse

They broached the illuminating cask

with enlivened hearts and tilted heads 

Taking into their throats the flavors of the past

Obeying a monosyllabic leader made of evaporated light

Singing songs about liberated experiences

that helped construct those unfortunate machines

Hi, is it too late to add the Expendable to the order and have it shipped together with the MRCC in the coming days? If it can, what would be the ordering/payment procedure?

Hey all, first my apologies if this is something I am missing but I am not even sure what search terms to use to search for.  I will explain my problem.

I have the NDLR connected by USB to my computer.  I have Ableton Live, Cakewalk, and Midi Ox that has produced this issue.

I have the NDLR set to send midi out of USB1 which shows up in all the software as NDLR.  Motif 1 goes out channel 1, Motif 2 goes out channel 2, Drone goes out channel 3, Pad goes out 4 and has P-Chains enabled (4) so there is also MIDI data going out channels 6 and 7 (not sure what happened to 5 but that is not of particular importance right now).

If i select the input and output from any software I have, it seems to make a loop and the NDLR is repeating the same MIDI messages it is sending out.  I am not really sure what to make of this as I have a good bit of hardware and have not seen this particular issue before.  If this is happening with other hardware they seem to be ignoring the looped data they have sent that gets returned to them.

Is there a setting or something that I have missed?  I have tried the last two firmware release versions and the current beta for the NDLR and the problem (or my lack of knowledge) seems to exist across all of them.

If I disable the MIDI send in the software, the problem goes away but I cannot send any MIDI to the NDLR.

I hope I have worded this in a way that makes since.  Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Rack Ears - is to late to add them to the package?

It's cool if it's a small extra cost

Recently picked up an NDLR and it's very fun! I'm currently running a bunch of my synths through it via Mio XL. 

What I'm trying to figure out next is how would I sync my T8-8S with the NDLR to add some drums? Likely a rudimentary question so advanced apologies! I just want to have my synths going thought the NDLR and then add drums separate via TR-8S - likely just a start stop sync or something?

On NDLR I'm OUT A > MIDI IN on MIO XL currently

Cheers!

Hi, I just got a NDLR and an having fun exploring the device. I have some questions about presets.

1. It appears that there are 8 user preset slots available. So when I want to save a "song" on the NDLR (a "song" being all of the particular settings of the 4 parts), my only option is to use one of these 8 global preset slots to save it. Is this correct? I thought I read on this forum that there are 20 preset slots but I'm not seeing that in the manual.

2. Once these 8 preset slots are filled, is there a way, probably over USB, to back up the presets/settings on my computer? The purpose would be to free up the 8 preset slots for new presets, while being able to re-load the old 8 presets when I might need them.
