Hot NDLR on NDLR action - leave trace - 02-27-2019
Our band is experimenting with 2 NDLRs in our setup, one for each pile of synths. I'm wondering if there's a simpler way of taming 2 at the same time.
Here's our current setup:
Clock: NDLR 1 (master) midi out -> NDLR 2 midi in
Chord degree/shape: Keystep -> midi splitter -> NDLR 1 & NDLR 2 midi in
This allows us to sync clock and have 1 keyboard control for the chord changes on both units, but we still need to manually sync Key and Scale on each device (which is pretty fiddly do to the knob resolution). And it requires a midi splitter plus separate cables for clock and chord sync.
Our ideal solution would look like this:
Keystep (chord control) -> NDLR 1 (clock master, key, scale, chord degree, chord shape) -> NDLR 2 (clock slave, key slave, scale slave, chord degree slave, chord shape slave)

This was in the works, but need to check the status. You can try going into the boot menu (hold Shift + Menu button while inserting USB cable), press the Drone button, then the Panic to exit. That enables sending some CCs when changing chords which causes the 2nd NDLR to follow.

Ok, Steve says to do that on both NDLR, that is, enable "C-Link" from the boot menu on both NDLRs. The first NDLR will send chord and chord type to the 2nd. Some of the other things you mentioned are great ideas we'll add to our list.

Reporting back this this has worked great. Thanks!
