List of Nord Stage 2 known issues/bugs

[Mr_-G-]

How much sample memory available have you got? That is the main issue.
I bet you are reaching the limit. In that case the *number* of samples is irrelevant if you do not have enough space to load any more. I have 183 in my NS2, so obviously 140 is not a limit, but the space they take is.
Piano RAM and synth sample RAM are independent in the NS2, so they won't affect each other, but they are both finite.

The explosive sounds problem with the Synth section using downloaded samples added to the sample memory problem has been fixed (I reported on this problem back in December 2014). Nord sent a replacement mainboard to a local authorized repair business last month, but I didn't take the NS2 in until a couple weeks ago due to bad weather. After using the NS2's synth section for the last few days - uploading, downloading, deleting samples - I have not had any problems.

This post belongs in a new thread and not here where few people will see it.

Humidity is not known to cause problems. I live in Florida, which is also extremely humid, especially now in rainy season with torrential downpours every day.

Help:
Has any one experienced a sound spike while playing a Stage 2, it happens intermittently all cables,pedal and mixing board to powered speakers have been changed as well as a AC power conditioners. It is very distressing at high Volumes, sound like a live instrument cable being put in an amp.

Thanks for any help

Sorry If i am being stupid...... I have just purchased a Nord Stage 2 EX73. Turned it on, connected to amp ( tested lead and amp both work) .
All the lights have turned red but no buttons respond.
Tried updating software but can't connect and my mac can't find keyboard.
I will contact the shop I bought it from but they are shut this weekend and I can't seem to find anyone who can help.
My son needs to use it to play a gig soon Is there something i'm missing ?

This is not normal at all, probably some connector on the mainboard got disconnected during transport, bring it back to the shop and have it replaced/fixed.

Does it sound through headphones?
Which connectors are you using to connect to the amp? Which outputs have been assigned?
Can you change patches?

[Larrybee]

thanks it was a fault but had it replaced quickly and new one all working well

Nord Stage 2 ex SW73 (OS v2.10): while using organ programs AND the Nord Sound Manager (v6.74) on a MacBook Pro 15' (IOS El Capitan 10.11.1, the last available...) the stage piano "dies" for a second or two (the sound disappears abruptly... all leds and also the display appear light off...). Then the situation returns to the normal condition in a few moments... This happens sometimes when using the sustain pedal, or while I'm playing... What's the matter? I'm concerned to live about a similar situation in a concert...

P.S. I had a Nord Electro 3, I used Organs and Nord Sound Manager on the same Mac at the same time... Never had such a problem for 7 years!
