- Gaz Williams explores the Conductive Labs NDLR. This is a midi performance device that allows for a combination of arpeggios and drones. Gaz plugs it into a bunch of different cool synths and delves deep...
Nice Gaz, but please get yourself a tripod for xmas
Bioni Samp I have a tripod but I used an Osmo Gimbal stabiliser thinking that it would be cool to get tight closeups but I was horrified how shaky it was watching it back. Sympathies to everyone who manages to put up with it!
Cheers Gaz enjoying the channal anyway... all the best for 2019 @@GazWilliams
@@GazWilliams I had an osmo. I backed it for that reason..I got a Zhiyun 4 which is bigger than the Osmo but awesome. Took it to NAMM
Great straight to the point Demo. So simple to follow and understand what this thing can do.
Damn it Gaz you've done it again! This is fantastic content. Shaky camera work, convoluted voice over, questionable composition... and yet overflowing with enthusiasm, love for the synths, and an all around unbridled joy of music and creativity. You inspire us all. Keep up the great work!
Ah thanks. I tried to use an Osmo gimbal to make the camera work smooth but it didn’t really work very well!
Gaz Williams a gimbal is for when yoou are walking or moving. You do not have to move while focused on one spot. Tripods work. Amazon sells a great one that is vey adjustable. There are good holders for phones if you use your phone.
Dont drink the coolaid ! ;-)
When Gaz wanted to tame things, you can press Shift and one of the four part buttons to pause the modulation for that part. Or Shift All to pause all of the modulations.
We live in a great age, thank you so very much for the explanation & exploration!
Gaz and NDLR - both are untamed and exciting!
What a great name. For so many people noodling is where the fun is. No serious organization, no long hours of editting, and perfecting. Not that there is anything wrong with being perfect, but the most important thing in life is fun, and noodling is fun. If it isnt fun then why the h...l would you do it.
Thanks, Gaz, very interesting. 👍
I was fortunate enough to get one of these as part of the kickstarter and although I have yet to dig deep in to the modulations it's proving to be a terrific device. Interestingly mine is currently setup with DM12 for pad, Streichfett as the drone, Neutron for Motif 1 and Model D/Blofeld for Motif 2. Great video Gaz, leant alot and has inspired me to dig deeper. Mine is blue BTW. Thanks. David
at 25:56 when that arp starts on the Striechfett it sounds like we are getting in to prog organ territory and channelling a bit of Keith Emmerson..........great
That's my favorite part of the video. Would be a good piece to have in Dr.Who
Very interesting. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. This is a project I’d be very keen on supporting.
Already ordered, this does so many things that i've been looking for in hardware and software and finally someone has put all in one package and keeps it all in key and sounding musical rather than a mess. Lucky Gaz has been raving about this which was the first I knew about it and I managed to get on the indigogo for the Jan 2019 (hopefully) delivery :-)... really looking forward to getting this, it will be great for live work.
I get seasick with this camera will listen to it as a podcast .... because I am interested in the NDLR
Bruno Wiebelt I’m sorry! I used an Osmo gimbal but it clearly didn’t work well enough for this close up stuff.
just WOW, only GAZ could pull this off!
Mine arrived here in Isle of Man from US this morning and was far quicker than expected. It’s fantastic and thanks for the heads up Gaz or I’d never have heard of it! Booking a couple of days holiday to NDL.👍🏻
Gaz, I was getting a Bob Ross vibe for a second there.
Loving the sonic artillery really showing the NDLR s abilities, powered by powerbank jam on
Merry Christmas to you too
Looks fun! Thanks Gaz, and loved meeting you both at gig😊
Really beautiful explanation of NDLR thank you!
I’m really new at using synth and dawless gears and I’m still learning about it. I will try to incorporate it with guitar on live performances.
On your video NDLR has 4 midi and how you connect all the synth to NdLR?
In my case, I want to go DAWless.
How can I use it along with Roland TR6S and Sonicware Liven Ambient Ø? What is the best way to integrate these 3 devices to create music? How to sync them all?
Thank you
Hmmm...cool little device. MIDI is dead! Long live MIDI!! Good work Gaz, and thanks. I like that you often cover the less mainstream or obvious stuff...
I think hooking up something like a JV-2080 with each part coming from it would be pretty nice.
Best runthrough of the different features. Great work. You're gonna ruin my wallet! :)
Gaz is like going extreme to digital shufflers.
I can never understand people that put thumbs down for people trying to share knowledge, so far there are 37 very important people that thumbs down, maybe Gaz should listen to them and just quit Jeez. Gaz, you are quirky and wonderful:)
Most interesting.
Couldn't be watching it all though with that hand held. I've just eaten ... 🤢
Sorry I missed the stream, my girl comes first though. :P
Can't wait for mine!
Hope for more videos from you Gaz :)
Good stuff, Gaz. Any similarities or huge differences between this and the Kordbot?
Very different devices with only a small crossover to be honest. Kordbot is very much hands on whereas the NDLR is kind of a hands off device.
great session captain!
love ya Gaz :)
I think Gaz made a mockery of this brilliant unit, actually capable of some magical computations.
Hope to soon see a video of the real side of the NDLR jamming to emit its brilliance as proclaimed by Gaz. 🤪🤪😝
Whoops! I think it’s a brill unit but trying to live stream and use my new gimbal for the first time may not have been the best idea!
Gaz Williams 😄😄😁
Gaz You’re such a thorough gentleman and a champ at what you do.
Only the best are modest like you. 👍👍. My respects.
But you still owe us another video on the NDLR 🤪
I wish the unit was freely available off the shelf with vendors
Cheers god bless!!!
The better name for this device would be "Big Mess" ... Because that is what it seems to do
It’s a bit complex to demo... try this to hear a little performance: th-cam.com/video/UuOiOXd-Ymc/w-d-xo.html
my studio looks like yours, but it seems like you know what you're doing
Really nice - thank you. Out of interest, do you use logic audio...I
recently got a NDLR and I am trying to make it work with the soft synths
in logic audio, i load 4 soft synths, each set to a different midi
channel but when i try to use the NDLR, all of the midi info for pad,
drone, motif 1+2 is played by each soft synth...i cant figure out out
how to send the midi info for drone, pad, motif 1+2 to each soft synth -
any thoughts or ideas where i can find a solution for this?
In Logic you want to make sure that your channels are not set to respond to any channel but rather match the input channels to that of the NDLR
Apologies if i missed it but is it usb powered or if i order from kickstarter will it need US rather than UK volts/power supply? Thanks Gaz.
Philip Tompsett no power supply needed. Runs off USB.
Can u do a video about NDLR+OP-Z ?
can't believe some guy wanted to sell this to me for 250, now i can't even find them anymore 🤣 and its all twice as expensive
I got bored of waiting for mine and bought a Squarp. I wonder which I will like better.
It will NOT be the Squarp.
Behringer synths are made in sweatshop conditions. As much bad juju in those as in my iphone.
Do you have evidence? Or are you merely repeating what you've read ?
Hi Gaz , why dont you combine the NDLR with the Rk-004 splicer ??? Or the Rk-005 ?
Legendary Pink Dots
Sold!!!
Just placed my order today. Roll on July👍🏼🌈🎼💕
How do you connect up all those synths with just one midi out on key step??
Promethious B I am using a very handy Retrokits Rk-004 midi hub which automatically detects and configures itself to midi in or out routing.
Ok,,thanks for the reply Gaz,,as always great video.
Seems an interesting tool. How would you differentiate it from the KordBot?
Mr Williams I might get a NDLR yno
Nice synths! I would love to have the Erebus v2, but I got a new Circuit Mono Station instead, because Focusrite sold them for 50% off! Really a nice move to give all Circuit owner 50%reduction. The cheapest Erebus I saw was 350€ here in Berlin and the Novation was only 275€. :)
I’m getting dizzy 🥴 😵
Hey Gaz, how much was shipping?
Never mind, it says on the site...
Ohhh I can't wathch.... I'm getting dizzy with all the camera moving about :-(
Jason Dale so sorry I used an Osmo Gimbal stabiliser but it didn’t work very well. I only realised afterwards! I’m going to do another but with a fixed camera. This video gets marginally better a few minutes in though...
@@GazWilliams I'm still listening to it... seems a great device !
Gaz, thanks so much for creating this, I really had a deep understanding of the device after watching this. You inspired me to buy one! Have you tried it with the op-z? This was one of my first jams, had it for 2 weeks now: th-cam.com/video/u2vo8v54l0E/w-d-xo.html thanks again for the inspiration! Really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot.
I didn't hear anything good out of it but I understand why some people would want it.
I love when you made it change the root chords , b e a u t i f u l progressions ! I...must....have...this....crazeee...mashine... :-O its better that way..""onow i believe again, in what , i have no clue...but my faith is strong ! Whoopsie opus Dei , see : here comes Jesus :-0........look busy,-
Its hard to watch the video because its jumping around. Put your camera on something stable, maybe a gooseneck thing ir tripod. Like this is no good. It makes me feel bad. Lucky the video content is good.
I really wanted to watch this video but the handheld camera jerking everywhere nonstop makes it impossible. I don't understand why you don't just get a mount like all the other channels. They're super cheap.
David Forman yeah yeah I know I know sorry. I used an Osmo stabilising gimbal for this so I could get close ups but it didn’t work very well. It does get lots more stable a few minutes in though.
@@GazWilliams Didn't mean to pile on - I didn't check the comments before adding mine. :)
Such a goofy bastard! I love it!
