Hi!

I just updated my Nord Stage 3, and in the Grand Piano patches the sustain from G in the last octave for some reason seems super excessive. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Just like on a real piano, the top notes will ring whether you use the sustain pedal or not (they have no dampers on them).

(This should be a sticky...)

[Andrii]

I know about dampers of course, but this is just too much.

You mention you "just updated" you Nord -- so this is something that just started happening after an update?

Do you have the compressor engaged?

[Andrii]

The issue was there before the update but it’s much worse now. Before it sounded closer to how a real piano would react. Thanks for answering!

Do you have the compressor engaged?

No no effects whatsoever engaged.

[analogika]

That’s because a piano key either has a damper, or it doesn’t. There is no gradual lessening of the presence of a felt and wood damper. They’re just left off (above the G# on my Yamaha CP70, and above the D# on my Toyo upright).

Up to the G#/D#: staccato works as expected.
Above the G#/D#: as if sustain were pressed.

There should be sustain but not this much. I do get your point though!

Hi All - This is my first post. I'm noticing the same thing. I recorded it. Let me know what you think. No sustain pedal. Just starting with C and up the scale...
quite a noticeable difference when it hits the G.

Anyone else noticing this? I don't recall it this bad before the update or at all on my E5
