Hi.
My girlfriend got a second-hand Nord Piano 2. It's good overall, but one thing perplexes us: the 1/8'' jack input (labelled 'monitor in') doesn't seem to be working.
In my experience with the Nord Stage 2 and 2EX, there is nothing to do for it to work: you just plug a signal in, and it gets through to the outputs... Right?
I've browsed the menus, just in case, but nothing in there seems related to that.
Does the unit have a problem, or am I missing something?
And if there is a problem, do I have a chance of fixing it myself?
Thanks

Re: monitor input not working
Hi,
I think it is the same as with my NE5: The monitor in signal goes to the headphones output only, not to the main (left/right) outs. Do you hear it, when you use a headphone?

Re: monitor input not working
The manual says:
"Monitor in
Use this to connect and monitor a signal from an mp3 or a CD player at the Nord Piano 2’s headphone output. This allows you to e.g. re- hearse with the instrument to pre-recorded music.
OBS: Signals connected to this input will not be processed with the Piano 2’s effects or appear at the Piano’s left and right output jacks."

Re: monitor input not working
That's it. Unlike the Nord Piano 4, the monitor in signal of the NP2 & NP3 goes only to the headphone output.

Re: monitor input not working
Ah, and I'm using the Nord Stage's headphone output to feed the speakers, because the main output goes to the DAW. So that's why I can hear it with the Stage. Mystery solved. Thanks!
