Nord rack 2 arpeggio problem.

Postby juno666 » 21 Apr 2011, 18:02

Hi!
I own a Nord Rack 2 (lead) and having problems with the arpeggio. I use an alesis micron as a midi keyboard. I want to control the arpeggio tempo from the alesis.. But it doesnt sync properly. I´ve read the manual and set the lfo/rate/ to zero! Any ideas how to make this work? The alesis is programed to send out external clock!

Help would be appriciated!
Thanks,

The Nord Lead 2 only synchronizes the start of the LFO, not the actual rate. The rate still has to be set or programmed to roughly match that of the external clock source. See page 64 of the manual found here: Nord Lead 2 manual.pdf

thanks for the fast reply.

any ideas how to make this work live then? i mean the arp ate button is so sensitive.. if you say have 2 synths going on at the same time, it will be hard setting the time as well...

No ideas other than to contact Nord, I'm sure they've been asked this before, and if there is a solution, they'll have it.
Nord support can be contacted at: http://www.nordkeyboards.com/main.asp?tm=Support&clsm=Technical_support

My knee jerk response was to sync the Micron's system clock to the NL2R, but the Nord doesn't have, or send system clock by midi.
If anyone else has a solution, or when Nord support offers a sufficient one, please post back.
I'd love to add it to my bag of tricks.
Cheers.
