Electro 5d Question
So most Nord Stages Can Switch to a sound while holding the sound that they had previous .. Even the new electro 6 can do this. My Question is why cant the electro 5d do this? This doesn't seem like an internal or spec kinda thing. It almost sounds like the keyboard would need just an update or some sort or am I wrong?
Keyboards:
Nord Stage Compact 3

Re: Electro 5d Question
the only two that do this are the NS3 and the NE6. This was only added with those last to most recently released keyboards.

No. It did have something called pending load which would allow you to scroll through the program list without changing the actual program until you selected it, but it would still cut off sound between program changes.
Since I'm not an owner of a NS2 EX or earlier stage I don't know what that means for the 2 panels. I'm just guessing, but I presume if a program change didn't affect one of the panels (say panel A), it would continue to play those notes while swapping out panel B sounds.
But somebody with an older stage keyboard would have to confirm.

Yeah, it probably is. The board basically needs the internal resources to generate twice as many sounds and effects at any given time. If you switch from a piano and strings Program to an EP and mellotron Program, then momentarily, you'd be asking the board to produce piano, string, EP and mellotron sounds simultaneously, each potentially with their own effects.

Correct.

That would have been pretty cool, but I'm pretty sure each Program was loaded from scratch, even if one of the Panels were identical between the two. I don't think it had any way of "knowing" they were identical (unless it were to compare each parameter at every switch). But I had always wished for the ability to "lock" a panel, so that subsequent Program changes would only alter the unlocked Panel until I turned the lock off. That probably could have persisted. It would be especially useful (even on the NS3) if you're triggering one of the panels from an external keyboard.
