New NS2 with keybed velocity problem from factory (fixed)

Post by cleito »

Hi everyone,
I was happy with my brand new NS2 until I turn on and find out that the middle key G (G2) had a problem with velocity
If I play very soft it sounds soft, if I play hard it sounds hard but the medium was hard too, only in this key
So, after some forum reading I found that some people had problems with dust, but my was new, so, I thought it could be some dust from assembling the keyboard in the factory.
But it WASN'T
between the metal plate that holds the keys and the contacts plate, there is a plastic were the screws holes are, and that was the problem
I took some pictures before and after I cut off the plastic
It fixed the problem, It was a little higher and I guess it made the space bigger, so the key wasn't hitting the contact right.
Now I'm happy again :thumbup:

Could you send Clavia an email about this? Because someone at their quality control department really should've picked this up.

Good to see you got it fixed, but a new Nord instrument shouldn't have problems like this. If they know what issue you had (maybe link this post), they can focus on making sure this doesn't happen again.

I second that. You should really send them an e-mail. These things are hand-made for a reason!

Question... when you put everything together, did you hear any cracking noise when moving the key bed? do you find that the keys have lost velocity... i did not have the same issue as you, but I feel that my keys are playing to easy ....i feel that I put no power on the keys and i get sound
