PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Mid-Winter Noodling
Hello electronic music enthusiasts!
We hope you are enjoying the upgraded The NDLR experience! If you have any questions about the new functionality, hop onto our Discord server and join the discussion!
https://discord.gg/ddBZqqH2hG
If you are already getting into some of the new features, we would love to hear your work, which you can share in the "Show me what you got!" section. Or just enjoy some of the music that's already been shared there. Don't worry about your skill level, it's all in the family.
This upgrade brings a crucial feature, the Motif gate length control. Just a reminder that it is on encoder 7 (with CLK DIV and RHY-LEN, on the "center" position.
With the arrow pointing up, press encoder 7 once so the arrow is pointing to the right, now you can control gate length with that knob. A yellow line under the Pattern and Rhythm shapes shows the length for the currently selected Motif.
We still have 18 unanswered Surveys. Hopefully the rest of the backers will discover they bought something and forgot all about it! Judging by some of the creative and obscure email addresses, we can imagine how some emails may not have been delivered. Everybody sing along; spam spam spam spam!
All the best in 2026!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Surveys have been sent!
We have sent the Backerkit surveys to collect addresses and shipping.
We have assembled about 30% of the kits and have already shipped to some quick responders to the survey test batch we sent this morning.
Since we have help with assembly, we should get most orders shipped over the next couple of weeks.
Have a wonderful weekend!
All the best,
Steve and Darryl
