Nord Stage 2 EX - Sounds only working with effects turned on

Postby emmie » 21 Sep 2017, 19:28

Hi,

I recently bought a Nord Stage 2 EX - it is still pretty much brand new however on playing it to practise today, the normal piano sounds work fine however the electric piano and synth sounds are coming out as a big blur of reverb and nothing else, unless I turn on the other effects - then the sounds come out fine.

When I turn off all effects, no sound comes out at all apart from the normal pianos. I have tried everything but it's still not working.

Has anybody else experienced this? I feel like it's probably just something that can be solved by a simple button that may have been pressed?

Thanks,

Emmie

Somebody reported a similar issue when using the wrong path of amplification. How are you doing this? Please avoid plug and earphone "adaptors".

+1, for sure this is phase cancellation caused by inferior cabling or cheap headphone adaptors.

Hi, thanks for your replies!

I was using the headphone port, i switched the same headphones into the CH1 output and it works fine.

Strange! But thanks!!
