Sorry my duplicate posting. If anyone know how to solve this issue, please share to me.

I wondering about A1 output level smallness.
Although full setting main volume and output, compare with other machine A1 output level is small.
Follow the other forum information, I plugged headphone out instead of 1-2 or 3-4. it is bit better i feel.
is there setting menu about whole output?

There is no menu setting about whole output except for the one that maps the control pedal input to volume. You may wish to ensure that you do not have this enabled (System Menu 6 should be set to P2: Morph).

Things that affect volume, in general order of obviousness are:
1. Master level output knob. Sets the output level for all four outs and the headphones, together.
2. Program output knob. Sets the output level for the selected program slot(s).
3. Amp amount and time settings. Some combinations of attack and decay times reduce the maximum volume that can be reached.
4. Filter settings also reduce the total volume of a given patch, because they remove frequencies and thus energy from the sound.
5. Mod Env settings which close the filter further can do the same thing.
6. The system setting for control pedal mapping to volume can also cause the pedal to be read as another volume control - if a pedal is plugged in on power on.

Various other settings for the sounds of course can have an effect on volume too - delay mix set too wet can result in only echoes coming back, etc.

In general, I found the A1 could get pretty hot when I pushed it, but that it had more headroom than some of the other Nords I own, so generally it had a quieter output on average to permit that headroom. Just increase the gain on your amp or mixing desk. It's not a big deal.

Thank you. Well noted.

Regarding the A1 play as midi keiboard, Please share the knoredge if some one know.

Q1
When I use the A1 as a MIDI keyboard to play a piano sound source via Mac (https://www.modartt.com/pianoteq_overview) (3-note backing with the left hand, 4-note arpeggio with the right hand at BPM 140), there are moments when no sound is produced even when I press the keys.
This does not happen with other synthesizers, but only with the A1.
Is this caused by the number of polyphony of the A1?
Q2
I would like the piano sound to decay naturally in the environment of Q1 above, but with the A1, the piano sound hardly decays while the keys are being pressed, and only starts to decay when the foot is removed from the sustain pedal.
Please tell me how to set a smooth decay when playing an external piano sound source using the A1 as a MIDI keyboard.

Under normal conditions, the A1 will always generate external note messages for keys pressed, regardless of polyphony internally. So, no, it is not caused by that limitation and is most likely a problem on the side of your computer.

This is how pianos work and is expected behaviour for such a high fidelity simulator as pianoteq. If you want different behaviour, you will have to learn how to change the piano model in Pianoteq. The A1 has nothing to do with it in this case.
