Postby bscepter » 28 Nov 2011, 22:12

so, i downloaded the E2 update from clavia, but when i ran it, it said that i need a MIDI interface. can't i just use USB for this? in any case, it looks like mine is V3.0. is this good enough? i don't want to brick the thing. i have a gig next weekend, and i'm somewhat loath to messing with it.

Hello bscepter,
yes, you need a MIDI interface to complete the update.
The majority of times, the update works flawlessly.
To be safe, I'd wait until after your gig though.

Here's what you gain with the update:

v3.04
The sample format has changed to make it possible to include two of the grand pianos from the Nord Stage sample library into the Nord Electro's library. The two new grands are a Yamaha C7 and a Steinway D.
The Rotary Speaker simulation has been tuned to give a slightly brighter sound.
The organ and piano sections now have individual settings for the effects On/Off parameter. This makes it easier to use the Instrument Selector to switch between organ and piano sounds since the effects routing is remembered.
Three different settings for the Rotary Speaker acceleration and retardation was implemented. A setting of 1 corresponds to the previously used characteristic.


Cheers, Hanon

Chances are very good that you already have v3.04 installed. Pay special attention to the decimal AFTER the "0" in "3.0" during boot. If it blinks four times then you've got v3.04.

If by chance you do happen to brick the unit, Hanon might know someone who can use a new boat anchor. ;-)

I am not sure how helpful that part was.
