Hello,
I'm relatively new to the Nord Piano 2 and can't seem to find an answer in the User Manual or Forum.
When I engage the Sample Synth button, I notice that I have to slightly move the Level knob to engage
the full sound. Is this normal? Thank you so much! Roy

Hi Nostatic, Thank you for your reply. The knob that I touch to invoke the full sound is marked "Level" ... before touching the knob, just slightly, the sample is quiet (almost no difference from before engaging the Sample Synth), then, it comes on full volume of the sample. I don't have a volume pedal mapped to the synth, though I do have the standard three pedals module that comes with the Nord Piano 2. To give and example: I'm playing one of the piano samples, then engage the "On" switch of the "Sample Synth" section ... the sound is barely changed ... next, I adjust the "Level" knob, just slightly and the sample comes on full tilt. (I hope that makes sense). Roy

I've only noticed this with programs. If the synth volume is set low in the patch, the knob won't be activated until I touch it. And if the knob was in the high position, then it immediately jumps to that volume and follows my control.

It's not a bug, it's just how it works. One solution would be to set the sample level where you want it, re-save the program, and then the sample would be at the right level next time you use that program.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply with such great detail - you guys are just awesome! This was important to me as I bought this board from Long & McQuade, it was the only one that they had, a floor model, and full price ... if it was a bug or electronic error, I would have exchanged it.
