NDLR - A Multi-Part Polyphonic Arpeggiator by Steven Barile

Loopop of course.

yes, and again to the highest level of demoing, explanation that I have seen so far on the Internet. I have to upload the new firmware the coming days and look forward to noodling. My instincts when it was first presented on Kickstarter were right and I am glad I supported this project early on. The video will surely do its part to get more people interested. I keep looking for other ideas, like the theoryboard and hopefully more generative stuff. The Google AI on chord progressions was also nice and there are lots of Max for Live tools that would be fantastic to have in hardware. My plan is to use the NDLR in combination with the Haken Continuum fingerboard, where the NDLR noodles witht he synths while I concentrate on playing the Continuum.

Can anyone confirm if this is limited to 4 note max chords for the pads?

I can see that the spread parameter adds additional notes but only doubles them in other octaves etc. Can it play minor/major 11ths for example ?

Does anyone know what Loopop is using for the display of midi notes in the video, which shows colored bars coming out of a piano keyboard? It looks very much like the display from Synthesia except in that case the notes (bars) are going the opposite direction – specifically from future time, instead of into the past as the software Loopop is using.

It would be a useful program to use with the NDLR (and other stuff too).

The question has been asked in the youtube comment and you guessed right : Synthesia.

This little ndlr is growing on me should I resist ? No, go with the flow ! :smile:

Something else that’s caught my eye – in a similar realm is ACDGEN by Spektro Audio. It’s a little more focused as to musical style, but it sounds quite good doing that. (At least from the demos.)
It comes both as a Max app for Live, but more interesting is the hardware edition they are developing.
Here’s the thread for it.

How much was you hit with duty?

249 Queen quids seems ridiculous for what it does

Bloody hell. Can’t remember what I had for tea yesterday. Ha ha.

Is it not VAT at 20% plus a smallish fee from Royal Mail???

I think it’s worth it though. It’s a great idea generator but I do record into Ableton to take it further.

You’re right, I record NDLR in other sequencer too. So possible to have fun for long session and back to the best moments and then editing.

Just ordered, seems to be such a great sequencer :wink:

I recommend this too. I’ve been using mine with my Sonic Core PC (four independent synths going in to a mixer with fx) and it’s great fun.
I like that it also appears in Ableton as four midi ports so can be routed anywhere with ease.

Get one, it’s fun!

imagine a clocked elektron alongside!

No need to imagine ! It’s perfect with an Elektron. I use it with A4 (on 3 tracks) and another synth (plus drum machine) and its so pleasant to noodle with no specific objective than just play.
Very different experience than other sequencers.

Which one are you talking about? Is it batch 3E?
I am interested because i want to make a rough estimate, how long it takes from reaching 100 orderings to finally producing and shipping.

Are you telling me that it has to go to 100 before production and shipping?

I thought so. At the moment there are 30 claimed of 100.

With an estimated shipping July 2020.
