The Conductive Labs NDLR (v2) is a MIDI four-track, sequenced arpeggiator, chord and drone player with four parts that can play up to 8 synths.
If you press one of the seven chord buttons, the two arpeggiators and drone follow the chord notes while your polyphonic synth sings with pads.
There are start and stop buttons for each of the four parts, and a button to start/stop all parts. And there’s a “panic” button that stops all MIDI notes.
The colour LCD screen shows you everything that’s going on and a flat menu structure keeps menu diving to a minimum.
Pick a key, a mode and control the BPM of The NDLR’s MIDI clock.
With two sets of 5 pin DIN MIDI inputs and outputs, and four USB MIDI virtual ports you have many ways to connect your MIDI devices. There is also CV clock in and out connectors to sync with your Korg Volcas, modular or semi modular synths.
It also works with MIDI hardware synths, and your DAW or tablet.
Once you master the basics, you can dive into the 8x modulation matrix. It lets you animate most of The NDLR’s parameters. You can even send LFOs to your MIDI gear.
The NDLR includes a Pattern editor to make arp and modulation patterns, a rhythm editor and now a Chord Sequencer too. Once you have your song, you can save your patches.
What’s new in The NDLR (v2)?
By popular demand, they’ve added a soft-power button and the enclosure is powder coated with a black faceplate and beautiful red base. The internals are modified for a new, faster micro-controller. The feature set remains the same, although there are some surprises waiting to be discovered in the menus. So far, new features are being back ported to the original The NDLR via firmware updates, as long as it does not require the faster processor.
