Sustain per layer

Post by moody »

Can someone please check me.
I'm here programing my Wave 2 and decided that I didn't want one of the layers to sustain. Old as the hills this need.
To my astonishment it seems that the Wave 2 can't ACCOMMODATE ME?!?1
If this is so, it's going BACK.
Thanks.

To my knowledge the sustain pedal works on all 4 layers. I can't adjust this.
I use the KB hold function to overcome this. You can select which layers are active or not with KB hold.
It would be nice to have the functionality to choose which layer responds to the sustain pedal.

Can someone tell me if it is still the case as of Today, that the sustain cannot be affected to a specific layer within a program.
Thanks

This still is the case on the NW2.

Thanks, I was thinking to add the NW2 to my Stage 3 but the sustain’s logic is not good for me.

You can work around this by using the Hold feature on the layer you need and then adjusting the amp sustain/decay to get the effect you want-

No, it is the more the logic to not being able to choose if I want to have the sustain on a particular layer or not.
On the NS4, the synth section has this capability for each 3 layers. I thought it was the case with the Nord wave 2 as well.

Thanks

Hey Daniel, are you sure of this? The Manual says that the SustPed button activates sustain for the Synth section. Is there a way to apply this per layer on the NS4? It would be very cool if this was possible!

SUSTPED AND PSTICK
SUSTPED (Shift+Layer A) activates an attached sustain pedal for the
Synth section. Read more on how to configure pedals in the Menus
chapter, on page 58.

Are you saying that it is may be the same case on the NS4, if it is the case, it will be very sad…..
On my past stages and stage 3, this functionality is like, normal… ?, we even have sustain on organ…which is great by the way.

I will ask on the NS4 thread,

Thanks,
Daniel
