Nord Stage 4: Some synth sample have no volume!!!

[Simo283]

Hi folks

I own a Nord Stage 4 Compact.
I don't know if things are related each other, but this is what I did:
- I create a layer of synth pad / choir / organ and recorded with Nord Sample Editor
- I uploaded back in Nord Stage as unique sample, in order to be selected in a program using only 1 synth section instead of 2/3.

From that moment, some random sample in the synth section started having volume close to 0 (before they were perfectly ok), and also setting master level at max, the sound is still very low.

I tried to switch off/on, to remove the sample I created, to check settings (they are ok), but anything changed.

Did anyone experience the same issue?

Thank you for any help!!

I've found something strange...into "Output" section, if synth are sent to 12, some sample have very low sounds (e.g. sine/saw/square/... waves in analog mode), whilst the majority is fine. If I set Synth output to 1, every sound volume is fine.

Why that?
Shouldn't be 12 for all?

Could be a stereo cancellation happening outside of NS4. Are you using headphones or going to a mixer/soundcard/other...?

Many of us here have experienced the problem of a mis-wired headphone adapter or cable (one channel out of phase with the other) and -- as a result -- you end only hearing the unique stereo parts of the signal as the common portion is cancelled out. It's a freaky situation the first time it happens, then you learn to recognize it quickly.

Try listening through a different path?

As noted, it sounds like a phase cancelation problem. To test it, bring up a sine/saw/square wave and then select MOD1 A-Pan that will pan the sound in stereo. If outputs 1 and 2 are out of phase, the change should result in the synth level increasing dramatically. Let us know how it turns out. Cheers!
