Questions about Conductive Labs
Where are Conductive Labs instruments made?
While design and software development are handled in Canada, manufacturing is currently outsourced to facilities in China to manage production costs and scale effectively.
How does the NDLR system work and what's its advantage?
The NDLR system records MIDI data non-destructively, allowing for unlimited undo/redo and experimentation without permanently altering your original project – a significant advantage for live performance and improvisation.
Is the MRCC compatible with Ableton Live, Logic Pro X, and other major DAWs?
Yes, Conductive Labs prioritizes broad DAW compatibility. The MRCC and its associated software drivers are designed to function with most major digital audio workstations, though specific functionality may vary.
