Wave 2 patch memory structure

Postby artofmoog » 29 Mar 2020, 15:20

Another question for early Wave 2 owners, while Nord doesn't have a manual PDF up on its site: does a Wave 2 'Program' load all four slots/layers?

On the A1, there's a distinction between single slot 'Programs', and multi-slot 'Performances', but I notice on the Nord web page comparing A1 and Wave 2 we get the info as per screen grab below. I assume that means the Wave 2 only has multi-slot memories, and no equivalent of an A1 program?

Thanks.

My guess is this is correct and makes sense. You can still build the programs from any number of "slots/layers" turned on or off, with individual volumes. I see this as a simplification and enhancement of the A1 structure-

There is no distinction like that on the Wave 2. There are simply "Programs" that load whatever number of layers that were stored to that Program.
Nord Grand, Nord Wave 2, Yamaha YDP-184, Arturia Keylab 49 MkII, Studio Logic SL88 Grand, Pianoteq 7 Pro, Garritan CFX, Teenage Engineering OP-1, and a smattering of Ukuleles.

OK cool. Can you also say if layer enabling/disabling is glitch-free too, like on the A1? For example, if a W2 program has only one enabled layer, you can hold a note/chord with it, disable the layer, enable another layer, and the note/chord will have carried on sounding (and will until the keys are released).

Yes, it’s like the A1.

Hi,

If you don't want to calculate the Midi-Program numbers in your mind, you should take a look into the NordMidiMapper-app I wrote:

It is currently only available for Mac OS but I will compile it for windows the next days too.
