Nord User Forum

Hi all,

I currently bought an NS3 switching up from NS2.
I have recreated all my sounds, but currently, I am facing some problems.

I have a configuration where I play sounds patched to panel B via midi from a second instrument.
With the Nord stage 2 it was no problem that the sustain pedal function was applied to each panel (when the sustain is switched on for a sound).
On the Nord stage 3 it looks like that the sustain pedal is only applied to the active panels.

Did anyone else is facing that problem?

Greetings from Germany,

Sounds like you should have also bought another sustain pedal and some wide shoes along with your stage 3!

Hehe, yes sounds like!
But sadly I can't afford another pedal and bigger shoes after buying the stage 3

So I think it would be better if the bug would be fixed or I would know if that's a new "feature"? (I am a software developer, so please don't bring terms like: "It's not a bug, it's a feature" hehe :p )

Are you triggering your panel 2 externally by using the Dual KB function, or by using the Panel MIDI function (called Slot MIDI on the NS2)? And did you do it the same way on the 3 as you did on the 2?

I would have thought that it is intentional. The firmware in the Stage 3 will have been based on the Stage 2 EX, so most likely Nord deliberately changed this. Probably so that control pedals (for volume) can be independent on slot A and B.

It probably worth asking them as they may not have realised that there are users who want it to work that way, there was probably some users complaining it didn't separately sustain for A and B.

Worst case scenario, you can always give your Stage 3 to me, then you won't have any more problems with it...

I sent a support request to Clavia, so let's see what happens

Hi,

so I got Feedback from a german clavia distributor:

ich verstehe, das ist notiert worden und liegt schon bei Clavia Entwicklung auf dem Tisch. Nord Stage 3 ist nun eine komplett neue Architektur, daher gibt es gewisse Unterschiede zu den Vorgänger. Es sind aber noch weitere Updates geplant. Vielen Dank für die Anmerkung!

Translated it's like:

Understood, your request is noted and already known at clavias development department. The Nord Stage 3 is a completely new architecture, that's the reason for having differences between stage 3 and the models before.
There are further updates planned.

Just for everybody who might have the same issue.

Greetings,
Luca

@LucaWelker: it would be best if you can provide more details on the Panels/MIDI configuration you are using, just to exclude the problem lies there and not in any “bug”
