Hello,
I don't know If Nord is reading the board, but even if they are not the younger synths, NL4 and A1 are not able to play the first sequenced midi note (usb or midi din) when they received a PC message. I use a mpc-X to sequence all my synths (a lot) Nord ones are the only ones to not play a midi note on first beat at the first run of the loop sequence. The culprit is the program message which takes priority over the midi note. As example, to get the first note to be played , i need to nudge about 36 ticks at 95bpm. I wonder how come such beautiful synths can not handle this. I really hope Nord could update them, a firmware hot fix, so those synths act like any others ones (i have a lot, and had a lot more, only NL4 and A1 would do this).
Thanx for reading

Re: A1 and NL4 program change received cause latency to play
Thanx for the answer. I know about the empty measure, in my case, it won't be the solution. The issue is only with nords, none of all my synths (i own now or i owned) do this, so it's surely not that common.

Hi,
Just curious why you say it won't be the solution. Do you mean that you tried using an empty measure the start to give time for the program change, and the first note still does not sound?
Can you show a dump of the MIDI stream so we can see what is really going on?

Re: A1 and NL4 program change received cause latency to play
I don't want to create an empty measure at the beginning of my looping sequences, that means i have to put loop ON on the fly, my hands are not free for this (and i don't want to use song mode). Right now i own a dozen synths, only NL4 (and A1 as i read it somewhere) would not be able to play the first note when receiving a PC. I owned (and sold a lot of more synths, and never encountered the problem with them too). NL4 is the only synth connected to midi out port A, so that's not a problem in a midi chain. It's just that NL4 (and A1) are too "slow" in this specific regard, which is not making them bad synths, i love their sounds, i just wish they would not have this problem like most of the synths from the last decade. The nord support is aware of the problem, maybe they can take care of it, if not, i'll keep my NL4 anyway (don't doubt about sympathy i have for them). I'm only in a hope it will be fixed. cheers
