Is the Midi Tutorial supposed to be still available?
I get a pdf file of 223 bytes that says there was a timeout error.
Same thing with the older version of the file.

I just downloaded it, its showed up as 5.7MB

Thanks for the heads up!
Had something to do with Firefox in my PC for some reason.
It is still doing it on that Win10 PC.
I used my tablet and it downloaded no problem.

Can you connect external keyboard trough USB port ? So you send midi from NS2 to other keyboard ? And where can i get the apropriate cable, since all keyboards have square kind of usb ?

You cannot connect 2 keyboards via USB, only keyboard to computer or to a "USB to MIDI DIN" converter such as Kenton USB Host.

That is not an universal truth. The Korg Kronos can act as a host; you can connect via usb midi from NS2 to a Kronos.

That is not an universal truth. The Korg Kronos can act as a host; you can connect via usb midi from NS2 to a Kronos.
True, since Kronos is based on a PC board with custom Linux running on it (so much closer to a computer than other workstations).

There also other models that can, such as Dexibell pianos with the latest OS just announced, but in all those cases you need to have a Type A connector on the keyboard acting as a USB Host while the question was related to connecting 2 Type B ones ("square kind of usb"); my reply was referred to that situation but thanks for the opportunity to clarify. :thumbup:

Another midi question, I can setup my Kronos so it only sends volume and sustain data over to external keyboard, is it possible to do something like this on NS3 ? On Kronos I do the split that goes out of range of keyboard on Nord this is not possible since split always stays on keyboard. Is there some other trick ?

Funny thing is that volume pedal is working trough all midi channels on its self without any programming while sustain is not .

Hello friends,

I am new to this forum. But I really enjoyed this Document and did a translation into Portuguese. I do not know the correct way to post the file with the Portuguese translation. If you can help me, I will be sharing this translation for anyone who has difficulty with English. I'll share my Google Drive, however if administrators can move to a forum directory, they are allowed.


Thank´s
