The NDLR - Using a Keyboard Controller
Using a MIDI Keyboard controller, Arpagiator or Sequencer is a cool way to control the NDLR. The inbound MIDI notes can be transposed to play in the same key as the NDLR. The chord degree and type can be controlled by inbound MIDI notes when recieved on the NDLR control channel. Also the inbound MIDI velocity, pitch bend, mod wheel, and aftertouch, can be used in the NDLR's modulation matric to control any parameter! So you can change the chord degree and at the same time position the chord with velocity!

The NDLR - Using the Interval mode
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.10 месяцев назад
The Interval Mode is another cool way to use your keyboard with The NDLR to play successive note intervals. We first heard/saw this algorithm in a Super Booth 2022 video of Tyler demonstrating the Eventide MISHA euro-rack module (ruclips.net/video/OwazK47u0DU/видео.html). This notion of relative interval changes rather than absolute note changes is exactly how the NDLR already works. This conce...
The NDLR - Using the Rotator mode
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.10 месяцев назад
The Rotator is a cool way to use your keyboard controller with the NDLR to play “rotating” note chords. We first heard of this algorithm from Robby Kilgore (robbykilgore.com/harmonic-expansionism). This technique was first realized on an Oberheim Xpander using Triggers and Zones. Robby explains it really well at the above URL. To view and hear The Rotator watch Harmonic Rotation Toy video (rucl...

MRCC #4 - Routing The NDLR w/ USB "Virtual" MIDI Cables
I bought the updated rev2 NDLR a few months ago. Great little box! I immediately pulled out old sound modules from my closet and started conducting an orchestra. Came here to say they still make them and sell them. Great box for generating ideas that make musical sense.
Thanks so much Daryl and Steve.. I am new to the NDLR and have just started using Mk2. A wonderful piece of kit, I am still awaiting the arrival of the MRCC, purchased to help tame my MIDI setup. I congratulate you both on your innovative and extremely usable equipment. Kind regards Mick from Aus.
Love from Malaysia! Thx to Ben Jordon, I discovered this genius product! TQ so very much!
is there a way to just play normal chord positions on the midi controller instead of the 1 key chord function?
You mean like a traditional arpeggiator, where you play a chord and it arps those notes? NDLR does not have a traditional arp function. The Conductive Labs MRCC has traditional arpeggiators, 6 of them!
An absolutely brilliant and informative series of videos. Thank you so much Steve. Kind regards Mick.
I am still awaiting the arrival of my MRCC and NDLR, but this series of videos has been invaluable to me. Thanks so much Steve for your brilliant, inspiring and feature packed gear. After watching these videos I am totally impressed. Kind regards Mick.
I love your gear. So innovative. Kind regards Mick
I really love this thing. I just have some struggle programming chord sequences in it. But I am using a daw, to overcome that.
I also prefer to use an external sequencer, because I can make sequence changes on the fly that way.
Now I kinda want one with an acrylic front :o
The acrylic looked pretty cool with the LEDs underneath, but one drop and it would be shattered.
Don't Stop. This is great, but a bit hard to dominate.
Sorry I am new to this tool ( 4 hours ). But can I use the rotator with the chord sequencer without a keyboard? That's because I need the keyboard to play without change the ndlr sound.
Oh wow, Samchillian built in!!!
Idk why but the you should look up here, not much going over here part on these videos cracks me up every time.
Can the length of a note be (randomly) manipulated? Would make it way less robotic…
Thank you for creating the most needed device for hardware studio MIDI control of masters and slaves. It has been needed for 35 years.
This device is so needed!!! Been having issues with MIDI communications of hardware since my first synth, a Juno bought new in the 1980's. There is no standard for MIDI implementation parameters on any keyboard; some have only a few some have all of them. Synths like my MicroBrute need a USB computer connection just to change MIDI channels!!! So what happens in a few years and I am on WIN15 OS, will there be an update on the MIDI controller app... probably not. Then we have program change, the master is sending it and cannot be turned off, and the slave is receiving and cannot be filtered...AAAAAAARRRRRGGGG!!!! now every time I press a patch change, my slave, all my slaves are changing patches. WILL THIS DEVICE SOLVE THAT PROBLEM with your program change filter on? I don't know if patch change is considered a program change in MIDI.
Yes, you can easily block Program Change on a particular input. If you are not sure what messages are being sent that you might need to block, you can see the incoming messages on the routing page, or for more detail you can use the MIDI Monitor in the Tools section.
A red NDLR? I am off to find one. I have waited too long.
Check conductivelabs.com/ndlr for where you can find them.
This is a great video tutorial. Thanks for sharing, and, keep these instructional vids coming!
Thanks.. so whats on the cards for the future of the NDLR? I would love to be able to program much mo9re complex chords. Like jazzier 9ths and 11ths etc 😊
Amazing product, amazing tutorials. Thank you for these!
you should do it again and it wil be much better - not sure why youtubers don't rehearse - good content tho
There is still to way to add something like a powered usb hub to the MRCC to add multiple usb midi input devices on a single port is it? This is the one thing I’ve been wanting on my MRCC for years. I have a few controllers/electronic drum kit/midi guitar that I’d like to have connected to a single port and route with the virtual cables.
Just bought the MRCC….These vids are very helpful….Would love a setup vid on routing multiple midi tracks from DAW to MRCC to external synths
Been playing with this mode tonight. Beautiful guitar like patterns out of synths that I wouldn’t be able to get any other way when pairing it with a nice Arturia arpeggiator. Really excellent.
Once you have a keyboard plugged in, wouldn't it be neat to control the save, delete, scroll etc with the keyboard as well? That separation between typing on the keys then using the controls on the device is slightly clunky.
Hi can you guys do a demo on the Chord Sequencer? Ta
Does anyone know if you can choose the sort of 7th chord that this machine will play? Is it always a major 7 or a minor 7?
so does these modes essentially make this a midicake arp? i think the midicake acts a little differently? by adapting to the pressed keys, rather than triggering the buttons on the NDLR?
hey Steve , i met you at knobcon i was wearing a paisley outfit as well , missed my NDLR too much and just ordered a new one , cheers and happy new year .
Thank you! Paisley rocks! ;-)
Happy New Year to you two guy´s ! You are the best goddam Dynamic Duo in Sequencer land ! I LOVE my MRCC and my Noodler , and you helped me become a pretty good musician , on the synth´s - (im a bassplayer) I will kindly , ask you guy´s to get the MRCC and the NLDR a 3. cousin - a EURORACK implemtation Module - that binds the Noodler and the MRCC together with EURORACK - i was thinking , drawing the powers from your first two products , a with a Eurorack Module - get Midi and MPE capabillities with Eurorack in Memento into a module that can transfer all the data from the noodler and the MRCC into Controlled Voltages , and get Multi-timbrality and MPE and maybe even some dope polyrytmic bonanza into the module as well - im mean - you already GOT the foundation in the Sequncer , and the Midi-Hub in the mix - so now its time to go all in with a "Noodler friendly" interface with Eurorack ! I KNOW its the right way to go , for the Conductive Labs ! you could get UBER massive big , in the Eurorack Sequencer/Stocastic Triggerer/ Polyrytmic/multi-timbrality diasphora !

Happy New Year Mikkel! Something eurorack is not out of the question, but we're already pretty busy working on something new. In the meantime, I use a Bastl 1983 MIDI to CV eurorack module.
Excellent series , for a dude like me , who got both The Noodler and the MRCC - and got fair slew of synth´s - 12 - 15 unit´s or so collected and played during my 40 years of musicianship,- I always liked your approach-abillity , and great service and costumer support - simply topnotch quality , in all aspect´s of your company ,- Bravo - its just so rare , these day´s , so i gotta commend you for that . 😉
I LOVE my Noodler !
Thanks to your come back, DarrylMcGee, thanks :-)
Great, really great, when i see it in action...but if someone could tell (or confirm) me if it's possible to route one IN to one or several OUTs IN PARALLEL with another IN to another or several other OUTs... I only understood that the device automatically merge inputs selected to one or several outputs, but a sentence in the manual questions me : "Also note that in-port 3 and in-port 6 can also be routed to other out-port(s) at the same time" (it's an example). And i'm quite confused when i read the Activity Screen Page of the manual, which suggests to me that it is possible, but still without any particular explanation. So is it really possible to route one IN to one or several OUTs IN PARALLEL with another IN to another or several other OUTs ? Thanks in advance, do we ever know :-)
Yes, there are no restrictions in this case, and only the outputs that have more than one input routed to it will be merged.
I love this mode! Please keep expanding on it!
Thank you guys for your continued commitment to the NDLR; it is so very much appreciated. These additional features are all the more impressive in that you saw other demonstrations of the concepts and thought “let’s apply those to our NDLR”. Truly outstanding. 😃👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome.
Hi, is there any way to use the NDLR as a normal Arpeggiator with rhythmic features, similiar to the Mininova (8 steps) or the Unosynth Pro (16 steps), where you can switch off/on single steps in a rhythmic pattern ? I would like to have 2 or 3 or 4 of those patterns in parallel. Since the NDLR lacks a 16-step pattern array, I could imagine controlling the pattern via the control key channel and another small keyboard or controller, like the kmm k-board. I know that NDLR is more of a generative tool, and most instructional videos therefore do show only the box and no external Midi keys for chords. But it is also called, between other things, an arpeggiator, so I would like to know if it can traditional arpeggiaton with that rhythmic bonus.
Hi there, do you plan to release this NDLR ver2 in Beautiful Red Case? Any info I can get a idea?
No, that red faceplate is a one of a kind sample. We decided to make the base red instead, it feels a bit more Kraftwerk themed.
Still useful! I was so disappointed when NDLR stopped being made. I'm going to get a NDLRv2 today!
Thank you!
Where is the manual? I want to see a list of all filters, modifiers and extras so that i know if it as flexible as something like the bomebox
The MRCC probably is not a replacement for the bomebox, which provides additional ports for networking MIDI, as well as sophisticated transforms and scripting, it's really one of a kind. However, the MRCC provides what most MIDI studios require, plus some less typical features like keyboard splits and layers (with velocity cross fading), transposing, parameter scaling, arpeggiators, and other stuff we wanted in our studios. MRCC will give you the ports and routing control without the need for a computer, and bomebox the networking and scripting for complex MIDI manipulation requirements. The MRCC manual is here: conductivelabs.com/download
OK so I was asking people for ages how to do this as wanted my KSP to have a sequence to trigger the NDLR's changes as I would be tweaking the synths. I never got it working and no one knew how to do it, so this vid is super helpful. I am getting my gear all fired up as they have been in hiatus for a couple of years, this should be fun and is great timing.
Great that you’re getting your gear back out. There is also a chord sequencer built into the NDLR. And a midi cc controller turn Ables you to change your synth’s parameters, like cutoff & resonance, pan & volume and a couple other cc that you can configure.
@@legosteveb yeah the CC changes are DAF, I have been looking for a MIDI controller for ages, but there is nothing that does what I want, some are on ETSY which makes it hard for me to get or trust, 1 in mind is USB only so needs additional hardware. Seems my solution was right under my nose.
Thank you for the updates. Very excited to explore this further. Is there a diagram or listing of which keys do what function for 'interval mode'?
To answer my own question - it's on page 56 of the latest manual.
Omg!!! I never knew this! I will be having fun tomorrow! I will use Novation LP Pro and Stepic or similar to semi-automate this. Freakishly cool!
I am extremely happy to see more videos from you folks. I jam with my NDLR at least a few hours every week... if not daily. it has helped me meander through some tough times in the last couple of years. BTW, happy to share my Voltage Modular modules that control the NDLR with you and the team if you wish. The NDLR amd modular are a match made in heaven.
That’s great to hear you’re enjoying the NDLR. Your use case is exactly what we had in mind when we made the NDLR. I’d love to hear more about your Module.

Hello! I recently saw a video in which the musician played SHIFT + BUTTON + BUTTON and complex 9th chords played and appeared on the screen. This is not explained in the manual, right? Thank you !! I'm so excited , mine arrives soon !! Good job !! 🎶🎹
Oooohhhh... got to experiment with that!!!
ruclips.net/video/Zp-J9NpEEx0/видео.html
As far as I know there are no 9th chords defined in the NDLR. I guess a sus2 might sound like a 9th, given the correct inversion.
@@legostevebLook at the link to the video I posted, and you will see that the screen says 9th
Hi Steve,thank you for the continued support of the NDLR in the form of the new firmware update [1.1.086]. Really appreciate it! I've updated the NDLR already but haven't had a play with the new features. I'm sure they will be fun. Cheers.
Wow… is it already xmas 🎄??? Thanks a lot for maintaining this wonderful box of pure joy. Expanding its capabilities is not a given, it’s your commitment to deliver added value to the NDLR community. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
