Hi,

I was playing about with motif patterns and noticed that my NDLR was playing two different pitches when the pattern length is set to 1. I did a few experiments and discovered that it only seems to happen for certain variations (Ping-Pong and Odd-Even). The pitches played seem to be based on the first 2 steps of the pattern (i.e. motif pattern length of 1 and 2 produce the same notes). 

Needless to say this is only noticeable if the pitches for steps 1 and 2 of a pattern are different   .

Just thought I'd mention it in case it wasn't a known bug. Is there a list somewhere? It would be useful to know what issues are known about.

Hi all, I have a problem with encoder 5. I can select left to right but whilst it clicks it doesn’t change from position to patt-len. 

It’s the same for both motif 1 and 2. I’ve done a factory reset and a few power cycles. The feel of the encoder is no different to the others. 

Really hoping it’s not faulty and I have to return to states. 

Any ideas?

Hi,

In my setup I have all my MIDI devices connected to a iConnectivity MIO 10 which handles all of the MIDI routing / merging. I'm trying to use my sequencer (a Deluge) as the master clock and have set the NDLR to external clock mode. In this case, the MIO 10 will route the clock from the Deluge to all the other MIDI devices, including the NDLR. 

The problem I'm having is that the NDLR is echoing the clock to its MIDI outputs and so back to the MIO 10. This makes sense when the instruments are directly connected to it's MIDI outputs. However, in my case it means I get two sets of clock signals, which are then merged by the MIO10 and so cause all sorts of problems.  It doesn't help that the Deluge auto detects internal / external mode for the clock by listening for clock messages. As soon as the NDLR echos a clock tick, the Deluge switches from internal to external clock and everything stops.

So, is there a setting in the NDLR to disable the clock echo? The MIO 10 lets me work around the problem by filtering out real time messages from the NDLR's MIDI port but it means remembering to undo this change if/when I want to make the NDLR the master clock. I was wondering if there is a way doing this where I only have to reconfigure the NDLR...

Here's a raw capture of an early play with the NDLR after spending a couple of days integrating it with my setup. All melodies are generated by the NDLR sequenced from a Deluge. The instruments used are:

Motif: MakeNoise 0-Coast
Pad: Audiothingies Micromonsta
Drone: Behringer Model D

Drums and Chord Sequencing: Synthstrom Deluge

Man I love this thing!

Hi all.

I've just got my NDLR and I'm having fun integrating it with my setup.

I've been testing the sync with an external sequencers (a Deluge in my case) and seem to be having some problems with sync. The Deluge is set up with simple 4 beats to the bar drum pattern. The NDLR is the master clock and is also sending start/stop messages. I set the clock divider for both motifs to /1 so the note patterns would match the rhythm from the Deluge.

From stopped, I can start one of the motifs using the relevant button and everything is in sync. The Deluge drum beats are in time with the motif notes.

However, if I start from the "All" button, the NDLR seems to pick up the sequence from where it last stopped and the Deluge drum beats can be out of sync with the motifs. When this happens, I can stop/start motif 1 and it will be back in sync with the Deluge but out of sync with motif 2 (until I stop/start motif 2).

There's definitely something odd going on.

Hello Conductive Labs, 

Got the NDLR today and love it, thank you for the fantastic work!

However, how do you start sequences from Step 1? It seems that "play" will always "continue" from where you previously paused. When using in sync with a DAW, your nice sequences will be messed up as soon as you stop and restart because then, your DAW will restart from step 1, but not the NDLR. 

Reproduce with internal sync: make a simple motif to identify first step (length 8, div 1/2, all steps value 0, except first step value 10). Play/Pause a few times and you'll hear it never starts on the same step. I expected it to always start on step 1. (or have an option to do so)

Reproduce with DAW sync: Use that same simple motif to identify first step. Sync with a DAW and put the DAW metronome. I expected step1 to play on metronome first beat, but thats not always the case. (unless you're lucky and pause on last step i guess)


Am i missing something?
Thanks for your help

Hey Everyone,

I've been having some fun with the NDLR and wanted to post a picture of my current eurorack rig.  I'm still trying to get the hang of some of the NDLR's features, so it might be a minute before I can post audio that I'm happy with.  Still, this is an exciting next step!  Thanks to the Conductive Labs team for sharing this cool box with the world!

I'm really enjoying NDLR, but have a question about Pad mode. When one engages Pad mode, it remains latched until play stops. Is there any way to have the Pad mode only play as long as a given chord button is pressed and release as soon as one stops pressing? In some contexts, it's more musical to have a Pad play continuously; however, in other contexts, it would sound more musical to my ears if a Pad could be released and decay naturally each time one presses and releases a chord button. Is there any way to accomplish this currently without having to constantly turn Pad mode on and off manually via Play/Pause? Perhaps a Pad latch/unlatch parameter?
