rests for pads? call-and-response melodies?
#6
funnily enough I just had a eureka moment on this very topic. I'd been a bit saddened that my NDLR pad was just a hard hold then I realized I can automate the "Pad" On / Off with a square wave LFO! 

However, I do have one follow on question. As far as I can tell both square waves (ideal for on / off) go from a low to high duty cycle, which essentially puts you on the "off" beat so to speak. Is there a way to invert the behavior such that I can go from On to Off and not Off to On? I basically want a inverted version of the LFO. 

Thanks in advance!

It's great fun to record NDLR into another MIDI sequencer. After building the basic song structure in NDLR, I've been setting up four super long blank patterns in the Deluge, then assigning the NDLR's 4 parts to record on those patterns. I'll first record a couple of passes of the basic song structure from NDLR, then I'll just keep recording as I noodle on the NDLR. When I'm done, I have the basic song structure recorded up top where I can copy/paste them into their own patterns, then I can cherry pick the best variations from noodling session and copy/paste them into their own patterns. Then work on a more precise arrangement from there. Deluge also has probability per note, so that's fun to add even more variation, not mention using the onboard arp.

Excellent Out of box thinking. I am hoping to do the same on my new Korg Wavestate & Send the midi into AL 11 for later manipulation via Magenta & then back into live looping on the external hardware. Early days & late nights ahead... The joy is contagious.
I've been having a blast with the ipad Wavestation app and the NDLR. It's really fun that somebody thought to add a randomize function to that synth.

Similar for me too, I've been using the NDLR in conjunction with my Wavestate which is 4 part multi-timbral, seems like a really nice pairing
