Hello,
NS3 Compact, installed OS 2.10 two weeks ago, and now it stopped booting for no apparent reason. No matter what I do, it freezes halfway through the progress bar. Any ideas? Also, does anyone have 2.02 or 2.00 available to go back to?

I don't think what I'm proposing here will help, but it doesn't hurt to test: In a very old release, a "weird" pedal plugged into the sustain (IIRC) input could sometimes cause it to hang during the boot sequence. So you could try to disconnect all connections and reboot again.

I have the NS3 and i use a One control gecko mk3 midi controller to send program changes to all my keyboards and pedals at the same time. But after i updated the NS3 i cant get it to work anymore. Have any of you had the same problem?

Did you update from an old version? If so, you may have to change the midi messages since they are different now, IIRC. Check not only the online updated manual but also the changelog, which have done details too.

Thank you for the suggestions and for the OS links. So far nothing worked. Here is a video of what it does:

Hi,

if you have nothing else connected to the NS3 than the power cable, and if you have tried to do the factory restore and the installation of one of the other OS versions and the problem still persists I would send the Ns3 to a Nord service center to haven them check it

Sustain pedal for Panel B is not working if the panel B is not turned on. Think this is a bug, since all other controls but sustain pedal work from nord itself .

I just read another topic about this issue. Seems that in Piano/Organ/Synth mode in DualkB it IS working on panel B, but if dualkb is set to "panel", all sustain is not working form if the sustain from the MAIN KEYBOARD INPUT is triggered. It works with sustain plugged into the actual second keybed.

I've restored access to the bug sheet; for some reason unknown to me, it had been made private today and access was not allowed to anyone (apart from me).

I had not changed the sharing settings, so it must either be a google glitch or it was possible for anonymous editors to make the document private...

If anyone knows what happened, I'd be happy to know (a PM is just fine), just so that it doesn't happen again.

In any case, I've tried to ensure that no-one can hide the sheet again

Also, I've now frozen the headers. It used to be that anyone could edit those too, but only after accepting a warning that you were changing something that shouldn't be changed. It nevertheless happened numerous times that the header was deleted, so I've now disabled edits on the headers... If you need to edit the header, just let me know, thanks.

As previously "warned", I've now created a copy of the old bug sheet (see the tabs at the bottom) and made it editable only after a warning (and changed the colours, so it's apparent it's not meant to be edited).

I've the edited the post-2.x sheet, and deleted all the bugs that were marked as fixed as well as the ones I either know are fixed or those that were not reproducible and haven't been updated/re-reported recently.

This now leaves only a few possibly open bugs in 2.x, which I will go through to check and mark/move/delete accordingly. Some bugs are possibly by design, and I will mark them as such and move them to the request sheet when appropriate.

Anyone else with info on the remaining bugs are more than welcome to edit as well. And if I accidentally deleted something that is still an issue, please copy the line back from the old bug tracker sheet.

The Stage 3 has been available for only 18 months...! What the hell are you doing that it requires cleaning the contacts already?

I’ve played maybe two hundred shows with my Electro 2, and it’s fourteen years old, and I’ve never once had to clean the key contacts...!

Having had my NS3 compact from day one, i had to open it up and re-lubricate all squeaky Sharps, so the high chance of bad quality of shitty Fatar parts might be a case.

Mine has the same problem.. white keys are very silent but black ones are very squeaky and really unpleasant to play at low volumes (as i play most of the time) could you please give me a hint on
how to open and lubricate it and what kind of lubricant did you use?? is it easy to open? thanks in advance..
