Re: NS3 Compact Morph Issue New Video

The essential issue is that the cabling from the mod wheel to the connector on the mother board is too close to the keys. The cable routing is less than ideal and is not really tied down properly. My connector is solid, but the cable needs to be secured as far away from the keybed as possible.

Same here with Nord Stage 3 compact. Mod Wheel not working properly, morphings are not fully addressed, seems to be a common problem with the compact Version...

I just received a replacement from Sweetwater, and the wheel morphs now work properly-

Other issues, but that one appears solved-

Hallo, i had this too.
I was lucky because i recieved my NS3compact very much at lauch from musictore germany. But i had to return it, because of the same problem. The new NS3compact is absolutely fine.
I dont have a comfirmation, what the problem was, but i think it was definitely a hardware issue.

This eventually happened to me. The NS3C's keybed eventually works loose the 3-pin connector that links the modwheel to the mainboard. It's a very simple 5 minute fix to put it back, but it will eventually work its way loose again I'd imagine.

self-amalgamating tape? (so you can remove it later on).

Possibly, though that would require some pretty steady hands. Also the clearance between that C key and that connector is almost nonexistent. Thickening it with tape might make the problem worse. :(

Hey, I have a similar problem with the wheel on my new NS3, I checked the cable connection it seems ok to me, so I think there is an hardware problem. I can't send back my unit to dealer, i'm afraid it would be take too much time to repair, I have a lot of gig... Do you know from where can I order a replacement?
Thanks!

I did the same on mine. I re-ran the cables to the Mod wheel so they were out of the way of the low keys, but the problem still existed. I was sent a replacement and it works perfectly. I believe as well that this is a hardware problem-

I would contact Nord Support directly and ask them for your best course of action-

I've got the exact same thing happening with my compact Stage 3. I've contacted my retailer for a replacement.
