nord lead 3 keyboard problem

Postby ihearanewworld » 08 Jan 2018, 04:31

Hello,
I am a new owner of a Nord Lead 3 (keyboard version), and have the following issue:

The lowest octave and a half triggers higher notes than the rest of the keyboard. Playing the second F# key also causes the note to hang. This behavior occurs on both the internal sounds and if I trigger an external module. When I trigger the NL3 engine from an external source, there is no problem.

It is on latest OS 1.20. My first instinct was to reinstall the OS, or do a factory reset, but Nord's updater does not work on current Mac OS's.

Is there a standard .syx or .mid file for the OS out there? Anyone have any advice?

Thank you in advance.

Sound like a visit to an authorized service center to get the key contacts cleaned and / or replaced is in order.

Thought I'd pop in to update:

There are two cables that run from the top of the keyboard to the circuit board. One is for the bottom half of the keys, and the other for the top half. Prior owner must have unhooked them and then put them in backwards. Easy fix.
