NS3 problem with organ volume after upgrade to 1.40

Postby ErikR » 27 Jun 2018, 23:54

I just updated my Stage 3 Compact to OS 1.40 (I did a backup first) and have noticed a big problem with the volumes in my organ sounds/parts within Songs - various organs, so not limited to B3 or any other.

Basically, in Song mode, if I have a part that has an organ sound, it will come in WAY louder than the sound is programmed for. BUT, if I click on one of the other song parts and then back to the part with organ, it's volume is back to normal. Also, within song parts, the transition between them used to be completely seamless and silent. Now, there is a noticeable noise - like going from a piano part to an organ part. Kind of defeats the purpose of having song parts at all!

Not very happy about this, as it screws up a big reason I rely on this keyboard for live playing.

Just to clarify. For songs that have non-organ parts, the volumes of those parts/sounds are perfectly normal. Is this a known bug? And regardless, is there a way to load the earlier OS where this wasn't ever a problem?

Further clarification - bouncing between just the sounds/programs (not in Song mode) - all sounds, including organs, are at the normal/expected volumes. So this is definitely a Song Mode issue.

And yet another update - apparently this only happens in Program #1 of a song. So if there is organ there, then when I switch to that song, the organ comes in very loud (default). But, the hopefully temporary workaround is to re-build the songs with some other program in slot 1 and put the organ in 2 (or wherever else). Then just remember to skip program 1 when switching to a given song. In my living room, that's not a big deal. On stage, there's no way I'll remember to do that.



Thanks!
