Sometimes when I have a sample that
is looped with the hold function on, it will abruptly stop without me even
touching the keyboard. It happens Randomly. Anybody else run across this problem?? Thank you!!

Re: Sample loop randomly stops
I experienced the same issue on my Nord Stage 3, a couple of years ago.
My conclusion then was that when a loop was combined with another synth-layer, it eventually ran out of polyphony.
It improved with the latest OS, which fixed some of the problem with voice-stealing (polyphony).

Re: Sample loop randomly stops
Yes, sounds pretty much like running out of voices. Do you play dense chords or use the sustain pedal a lot?

Re: Sample loop randomly stops
Sometimes I’m not even playing anything else and the sample loop will sometimes stop!! This is my second Nord wave 2 and it happened on both!! Puzzling.

Re: Sample loop randomly stops
Seems like a problem that needs to be addressed to Nord, maybe a future OS-upgrade.

Re: Sample loop randomly stops
Is it always the same sample? Or does it happen with any longer samples? Do you use the sustain pedal to keep it running or the hold function on the Wave 2?angelogogo0 wrote:Sometimes I’m not even playing anything else and the sample loop will sometimes stop!!

Re: Sample loop randomly stops
Maybe, you send it to them with a short explanation, so they can address the problem. Hunting bugs is a hard job.

Re: Sample loop randomly stops
It happens with different samples!! I use the hold function on the Wave 2!! I really believe it’s a software problem because it doesn’t happen all the time!! Maybe I can catch it happening on video!! Thank you for all the replies.

What is brevity?
...meaning just short posts when on the phone
