Monitor in for Nord Stage 2

Postby jazzcornwall » 10 May 2011, 00:53

I notice that the new Nord Stage 2 has a monitor in function where you can plug in an mp3 player or similar with a stereo minijack and rehearse or play along to backing tracks. However according to what I have read it only plays back through the headphone output and not throught the line out connections. Does this mean that you can only use this function to play along and listen via headphones? I would have thought it better to offer playback via the monitor outs with the facility to adjust the keyboard and the 'backing' respective volumes. Anyone have further information about this feature?

You read correctly, it only plays the monitor in through the headphone out. It's more for timing and synchronisation, than for routing an external audio source to the stage outs.

Is this for the "Nord Stage 3" still the same (only Headphone out)?
Can I just the volume of the monitor in via NS 3 or only via the extern device?

Unlike NS2, NS3 routes the Monitor In to the main outputs, but you would have to control that volume on your external device (or with some other device).

Hi, jumping in rather late but does anyone know whether you can route a mp3 or other connected to Monitor In to all 4 outputs on the NS3? Thanks
