Problem with Piano EQ switch Stage 3 88 since OS 2.0

Post by Murse »

Hi!

I'm new to Nord keyboards and this forum. I recently purchased a NS3 88 and am still on the learning curve but so far very happy with my new board.

Since installing OS 2.0 I noticed the Piano EQ switch does not cycle through soft/mid/high as it did previously. Pressing the switch elicits either no or delayed response, then sometimes freezes completely. I re-downloaded and re-installed the OS 2.0 without any issues, but the problem persists. I have not installed the enhanced EP's yet.

Should I go back to OS 1.6 and see if the problem disappears?

Anyone experience this or have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Works as expected on my Nord Stage 3 Compact running 2.0. If it were me, I'd go back to an earlier version when it was working well, and see if the problem persists.

Contact Nord tech support. Going back to pre-2.0 seems tricky for some people.

It definitely is, so I documented what I had to do in my particular situation:

DJKeys, thanks for the headsup. Since my keyboard is fairly new, I haven't loaded any samples and made only a couple of minor program edits. If reloading (again) the OS 2.0 doesn't work, could I try loading 1.6 then do a factory restore to see if this fixes the problem?

Problem solved thanks to Sweetwater's great return policy. Had a replacement in two days and everything is working great.
Thanks to responses on this forum and to Pablo!
