New Motif, Rhythm and Modulation Features for The NDLR Rev2 are here!
Conductive Labs is proud to announce Release 3 firmware for The NDLR Rev2. This significant feature update enables deeper rhythmic and melodic exploration for its flagship MIDI Groove Box. The Update is available now at ConductiveLabs.com along with an updated User Manual.
Release 3 unlocks advanced creative tools for live performance and studio production, including:
● Euclidean Rhythm Mode for the Motif Rhythm Editor – Users can now generate rhythms using the Euclidean Algorithm by setting the length (4-32), number of beats and rotation (offset), ideal for complex and world beat style rhythms and evolving patterns.
● Motif Pattern Step Modulation – Enables dynamic modulation of individual steps in a motif pattern, perfect for creating evolving basslines and more varied melodic sequences.
● Perlin Noise Pattern Generator – Creates organic, evolving note patterns for The NDLR’s two Motif parts.
● Motif Gate Length Control – Offers fine-tuned control over gate length for each motif part.
● Global Patch Save Slots Increased from 8 to 20 – More onboard storage devoted to global patches and settings.
● New Mod Matrix Destinations – Expanded modulation capabilities for Perlin Noise parameters, Motif Gate, PAD Strum, Spread and more.
● Save/Load Perlin Noise Pattern Generator Parameters – In addition to saving in global patches, users can now store and recall custom Perlin Noise settings separately.
● Drone part note velocity is now configurable.
● Additional MIDI CCs for new features.
● And various usability and MIDI synchronization enhancements. See the updated User Manual in the downloads section.
Released in September 2023, The NDLR Rev2 is easily identifiable by its signature red powder-coated base and continues to be a favorite among synth enthusiasts and modular synthesists for its deep integration of rhythm, harmony, and modulation.
The NDLR Rev2 is available now at ConductiveLabs.com and through select music equipment retailers worldwide. Release 3 firmware is a free update for all The NDLR Rev2 owners, and those who participated in the NDLR Rev1 upgrade kit crowdfunding. If you missed the crowdfunding, a limited number of upgrade kits will be made available at ConductiveLabs.com in September 2025.
What is The NDLR?
The NDLR (pronounced “The Noodler”) is a multi-part, polyphonic, sequenced arpeggiator. Or it could be described as an Interval Sequencer MIDI Groove Box, if you like. Programming a traditional sequencer gets you a melody, but when it comes to changing the Key or Chord it becomes a challenging production. The NDLR solves this problem by playing all of the parts out of a common note pool, so when you change the Chord all the parts change with it. Little effort, big results! Get your synths playing in time, in key and make great electronic music without being a master at the keyboard.
