A1: INIT SOUND, raw synth sound like it's gliding...

Postby ianpatrickroe » 26 Apr 2021, 23:08

Hi guys,

When I INIT SOUND (so reset to just a raw default sound on Nord lead A1, I hold down a single not and it sound likes it's sort of opening up, and gliding up and down with a very minor filter, or something. is this normal? Surely this single note I play on the keyboards should be very static with no movement at all? Is there something wrong with my Nord Lead A1?

If I understand, you mean when you:
press shift-init sound - you see Ini flashing
press shift init sound again (or execute) to make it happen
?

When I do this, I get an initialised sawtooth osc, osc config=Pit, filter=LP24. All filter settings, envelopes, LFO etc are initialised to 0 (or 10 depending on the function, eg LP filter freq = 10). I get a pure sawtooth tone. Nothing which could cause a variation in the tone is enabled.

A couple of questions:
Are you in program or performance mode? ​If in performance mode, this function only initialise the active slot, so if the performance has other slots, you'll still hear their original stuff.

What happens if you navigate to a program which is already initialised? Does it also do weirdass things?

No downstream effect pedals etc?
