Drawbar setting unstable

Postby pastorok » 15 Mar 2017, 08:10

I have a Nord Electro 5, OS 1.42 with a problem and would like to know if anyone else has seen this. On organ patches, the first drawbar (16') changes its setting on its own after about 20-30 seconds of playing. An asterisk appears to the right of the patch # indicating an edit has been made. Essentially, the drawbar setting goes all the way down (no or one LED lit) and the low frequencies in the sound disappear. Any help would be appreciated.

That is most likely an electrical (contact) problem on the fader/potentiometer of that drawbar (loose soldering or bad internal contact of teh fader's "sled"). Try to move it fast up/down a few times, if the problem persist then take it to service (unless you know how to check/clean/resolder a potentiometer yourself)
