-Dear All
During performance Nord Stage 2 started making weird sounds in piano mode
- Message was that OS out of date (horrible experience during performance...)
- Back at home updated OS
- Piano still making horrible sounds
- Tried doing a factory restore
- Nord Sound manager (v7.10) started to restore piano partition
- Then got message "Operation Failed" (Download failed: CReqFileWrite failed:
File write error (9)
I am quite frustrated... At the moment in Brazil with group not knowing what
to do... PLEASE HELP

Have you unzipped the Factory backup and/or checked that you have stored it in a writable directory?

I would probably try opening it up and unplugging/replugging the board connectors. Perhaps something got jiggled during transport, and just reseating the plug will clean the contacts and fix the problem.

Anything beyond that requires an experienced tech from the sound of it.

Are you sure that your instruments electricity needs are fitting? Canada - Brasil? Voltage, Frequency?

If it were the wrong voltage, it would burn out the fuse and hopefully nothing else.

Working fine and then producing nasty noise suddenly is not an external voltage problem.

Frequency (50/60 Hz) of the mains supply makes no difference to these machines.

- I have unzipped the factory backup...
- also used new USB cable
- Now noticed that Nord Stage 2 is loosing OS when powered down... plus I have write problems...
- Voltage/Frequency is fine...

Yeah. Go check for loose connectors. Otherwise you have a major problem that will require a tech to diagnose.

Hi,

I have a similar problem with my Stage 3 Compact. Trying to restore, no sucess, same message (Download failed: CReqFileWrite failed: File write). Have you fixed the problem? Also, I live in brazil too
Ah, sometimes my Nord enters in test mode automaticaly, blinking de piano volume leds. Any help?

Hi.

I also had a similar problem, and that same message appeared. I managed to solve it by reinstalling version 6.74 of the sound manager.
I also installed the most current USB drive, but I think the problem was really in Sound Manager.
I hope this helps
