I always get an email when I have to pay taxes, but I also registered with DHL ON DEMAND to be on the safe side.
I am confusedâŚ, really? I thought Global save does this, no? Still learningâŚ
Save Global Preset â presets 1-8 are for user presets.
Save Patterns and Rhythms is possible as well from what I read in the manual.
I think there is a pretty good one that explains most functions and saves my time

Correct just 8 user presets.
For us Elektronauts here a good example how to combine the NDLR with the Digitone.

Isnât that a huge limitation? 8 user presets = 8 songs?
8 presets are fine with me, I tend to record stuff right away, but I understand that 8 are not enough for others.
Thoughts after my first hours with the NDLR:
Before I got it I thought it is mainly for jamming around, doing some random note sequencing, but actually I am surprised and happy that you can use the NDLR for very basic, harmonic, less random sequencing as well. Great! 
I wish the buttons would not be so clicky though 
Next, I want to use my Faderfox EC 4 and see which cc assignments make sense. I want to avoid some button presses and make it a bit easier accessible. My old brain is too inpatient sometimes, some Menu clicking needs time to get used to.
I was hoping the buttons were not clicky⌠I hate that 
Hmm⌠8 presets is a joke. I mean how much space does a preset take in bits ⌠canât be too much. So that means ⌠I would have to record the stuff into the sequencer if that works with the Digitone for example?
Will shoot a mail to the developer and ask him.

I got an answer from the dev:
When we started the NDLR design, we thought of it as a jamming device. We
werenât thinking much about creating performances or saving lots of presets.
We also thought we would have more storage space available, there is quite a
bit of free flash in the program space and we assumed we could repartition
the space for user storage, but it turned out that was not going to be
possible and it was too late to add more flash. Eventually, the feature set
grew, we added the pattern, rhythm editors, and chord sequencer. We had to
decide the best way to use the memory we had and we prioritized patterns and
rhythms over global presets. We have a facility in The NDLR to enable a Library manager on the PC. We wonât be making this ourselves, but we published the specs and some
customers are working on it. Iâm hopeful it will be shared on the forum
eventually.

Yeah those clicky buttons can actually destroy a silent Ambient session for some people. Not such a big problem for me personally, but I still wish they would have considered this in advance, wellâŚ
Recording should not be a problem I guess, depends on length and complexity (random stuff happening) of the sequences for DT, but DAW recoding is less a problem here I think.
Thanks for the info PeteDorky. Great, some customers are working on a Library manager. Thats good news!
I have a brand unopened NDLR for sale (UK) if anyone is interested ?
I have a post in the marketplace forum with the details

Elektron Digitone : Drone (Bass) and Motif (Piano-Like)
Korg Minilogue > Moog MF Drive > Hungry Robot The Wardenclyffe > Eventide TimeFactor > Eventide Space : Motif
Elektron Analog Four : Motif (Piano-Like)
ASM Hydrasynth > Focusrite TwinTrack Pro : Pad
Moog Sirin > Source Audio Ventris > Akai MFC-42 : Drone (Bass)
Novation Peak : Pad (Plucky Sound)
Arturia Piano V2 : Pad

Could you break down whatâs NDLR (or whatâs not)? Beautiful track!
Really have to remember to talk to darn DHL tomorrow to eventually get it ⌠they just donât care and want me to phone them 
The best part: their DHL Express centre is in the middle of nowhere - DHL has like 1000 other stores in the cityâŚ
Pretty sure its all NDLR
Haha, you still donât have yours??? Go get it man!! 
Thank you PeteDorky! Iâve just added a description.
clickclickclickclick just noodling with my NDLR. The buttons are soo loud.
After 5 minutes I figured a lot out (who reads manuals anyways?). Not sure I like how everything is layed out / programmed UI-wise.
I have to say NDLR + DN are made for each other. I wish the NDLR had a friendlier UI like the DN though. Too many clicks for everything and not easy to memorize all those icons, numbers, ratios and abbreviations. But muscle memory will solve that.

very nice!
Here is The NDLR paired with Novation Circuit.
Iâve some NDLR and Electribe jams on my YouTube page, but I donât want to spam this thread:

While playing with the NDLR in different setups, this time I sequenced 4 tracks in ableton (4 wavetable synths). One track is processed through AH.
The additional sample is a recorded radio signal. Switching through frequencies searching for number stations I stumbled upon this weather station (5453 kHz/AM), permanently broadcasting the weather at different airports. This is really some great place to explore, been there for hours! 
The video is a bricolage, mainly experimental drawings I did with procreate on an iPad.
