Hello everyone!
I'm looking to invest in the new Alesis Vortex Wireless 2- and I'd like to use it to control my Nord Stage 3... 'Included USB receiver creates a wireless connection to any Mac or PC, or most keyboards with USB host port' The USB port on the Nord Stage 3 is a B port on the back, which is only used to connect to a PC for download of sounds... could it be used with the included receiver of the Alesis, maybe with a female A to male B USB converter? Any ideas welcome
Thanks!

No, you can't plug it directly into your NS3. You'll need a USB host something like an iConnectMIDI2+

Re: Alesis Vortex Wireless Control
I have considered buying the panda midi beam but that almost renders the point of buying the alesis 'wireless' pretty pointless haha I already have the first generation wired version... Thanks for all your help so far!

Re: Alesis Vortex Wireless Control
Hey,
I intend to buy Alesis Vortex Wireless 2 as well and want to connect it to my NS3. As I'm a beginner and not experienced in MIDI in general, I would appreciate a tutorial how to set up and connect the Vortex to NS3 in detail.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Alesis Vortex Wireless Control
Here's a link to a VW2 thread on Keyboard Corner, including my experience with the unit.

My summary would be to first try the following USB to MIDI converter to connect the included wireless dongle to your Nord, then if it doesn't work without stuck notes, then go to a professional wireless MIDI system like @sus_4 recommended.
