NS2 Display

Postby thekiller01 » 16 Feb 2018, 17:52

A few times recently when playing live and switching between programs (i.e. using Program Page and Program buttons to move from say D:1:3 to D:5:2 as an example) I'm getting data in window instead of saved program name (seeing something like Compression setting or similar).

I know which program from 1 to 5 I'm on because of red LED - but I don't know which page (1 to 20) I'm on! Nightmare.

Anyone had similar experience, or can offer any help, please?

Sounds like a bit of dirt in an encoder or switch making the NS2 think that parameter is being manually adjusted. Had that a few times on other synths, but not any Nords.

Whichever parameter is showing should indicate which knob or button is the issue, and hopefully a wiggle will help (or it might need cleaning).

Note that if the program encoder is the problem, it is a sealed unit and must be replaced if you can’t get it to work by wiggling it. Syntaur sells the proper encoder for the NS2.

That's brilliant. Many thanks. Happened again on gig last evening, and it was definitely giving me compression data. Will attempt to clean as suggest.
Very grateful.
