Nord Stage 3 volume fluctuations

Post by PeteHughes »

Volume of organ sounds is sometimes unexpectedly quieter when loading songs. The effect appears to persist across song changes, but then will return to full volume unexpectedly. This has been happening for the last several OS software updates, and is still occurring since at least v1.42, and I'm currently on OS v1.52.

Anyone else having this issue?

My current guess is that it's compression-related, so I've just been through all my patches removing compression to see if that helps...

In 1.42, a bug was fixed where organs would be too loud in some circumstances.

It’s possible that this is affecting your patches, and that you need to rebalance the organ volume in some of your programs...?

It shouldn't because my OS version is 1.52, so the problem is allegedly fixed.

Thanks for the info. I raised a support call, and was contacted by a product specialist for more info on the problem. I sent them what I could, and also a link to this thread, so if anyone else has any more examples, or steps on how to recreate this problem, then that would be really helpful.
