OS 2.20 for Nord Stage 2 and 2 EX

Postby Olltsu » 24 Jan 2017, 23:19

Haven't seen any announcements about this but just spotted on the downloads page!


v2.20 (2017-01-24)
Fixed bug where Long/Soft Release would not work as expected with Synth Pianos
Increased the bank size for each Piano category from 9 to 15. Locations above 9 are indicated A-F
This update will move Wurlitzer sounds from the E.Piano 2 to the E.Piano 1 bank, making the E.Piano 2 bank a dedicated Synth Piano bank
Enhanced Pedal Noise functionality where the base Pedal Noise level and character can be set individually per .npno file at the authoring stage. Specifically, this will give the Steinway No. 1 Piano sound a more appropriate (subdued) Pedal Noise character
Note 1: After performing this update, only use Nord Sound Manager v6.90 or higher, to ensure trouble free file handling
Note 2: Backup files created from instruments with this OS can not be used on instruments with OS version below 2.20

If it changes the location of each Piano, is it going to change the patches who use the Piano as well...I mean, if it was a wurly that was selected, will we have to reprogram all the patches that were with the Wurly?

It changes everything tio the right positions, so all patches work like before. I did the upgrade already.

The only thing what I found and already reported to Nord is that the upadated Nord Sound manager v6.90 does not accept anymore drag and drop of (I tried it only with a sample) Samples from the windows Explorer Window. I'm almost shure that I could do that before.

Hi All, I updatet my NS2 and now my Key B3 doesn't function anymore. Don't give any sound and midi signal (either USB and Midicable) to the computer. Does anyone recognise this?

If you are saying that only one single key on your Stage keyboard has this problem, including not sending any MIDI signal, then the cause might be unrelated to your recent upgrade to OS 2.20. You might have a spec of dirt or debris under the gray rubber membrane.

Thnx Harmonizer. That sound reasonable, but it seems so strange. Tuesday evening I played the NS2 at a rehearsel, wednesday I did the update but didn't play the NS2 and on thursday evening I Played and noticed this failure. I suppose it is a stupid coincidence. Last night this key came a little bit to live again but the it functions not good.
I have to bring it out for repair and will let you know what the results are.

Indeed seems unrelated, at least my B3 is fine after the update.

As for the new "Synth Piano" section, wondering if they plan to release some more "Synth Piano" whatever that means. So far there are only the DX7 Full Tines and Rubba Roads in the library. Let's see
