The Motif Rhythm has an adjustable gate length using 'ties' and 'rests' along with 'CLK DIV' (clock division).
Rhythms (32 steps) with division set to ÷8 gives you a bar of 4/4 with demisemiquaver (1/32th) gating resolution.
A crotchet is just 1 velocity and 7 ties. A quaver then a quaver rest is 1 velocity, 3 ties and 4 rests
Perhaps if we could combine Rhythms to make them longer would be nice, but you can also do that by sending a CC42 or CC50 from a looped DAW track (Live comes to mind, but I use a Reaper track).
Set up 2 Rhythms with division set to ÷4, so you now have two Rhythms of two bars of 4 each with semiquaver (16th) gating resolution.
Step edit insert at DAW bar1-note 1 a CC42 with the Rhythm number 21 (I use a User Rhythm, but we can talk about that later) and again at bar 2 for Motif1 ( CC50 for Motif2).
You can Midi clock them for sync (or as I like to do, no sync to phase the DAW against the NDLR).
Unfortunately the NDLR is no longer stand alone, but it works for me.
