Sorry if I am being dense, but I think I'm not getting it. The NDLR is not a sequencer, you don't actually get to pick specific notes to play (unless you make a pattern in chromatic mode and don't change the key). What you are doing is creating a note pool based on the chord degree, type, key and mode. All four parts are using this note pool which is how it stays in key.
So you press a key on the keyboard, The NDLR does not change key or mode, so what does The NDLR do with the incoming note? There are four parts, is that note affecting all parts or just the motifs/arps?
If you press Shift ->encoder 5 (top right) for the pattern editor, you can change the pattern as the arp plays. If we were to do something with that incoming MIDI note, you can imagine it would be doing something to the pattern on this screen. Maybe moving all of the pattern values up or down by 1? The Motif Position knob can do that, there is also a CC control for it, but maybe it would be handy to do it with the keyboard?
Food for thought... For the most part, all of the notes coming out of The NDLR are based on The NDLR key/mode and the selected chord/type. What notes are playing from the note pool can be manipulated with an arp pattern, note octave position, key, mode, etc. However, The NDLR arps are not traditional arps that play the keys you press on a keyboard. The primary goal is to keep all parts in key. The arp's patterns are playing notes from the pool, the same with the MIDI input transposition.
