Nord Pad set up issues

Post by Guigzy »

Hey Guys

Just got the ND2 with the Nord Pad. Whilst the ND2 is indeed impressive (getting used to it though) I am just wondering if the Pad i got isnt faulty...

My expectation was that it would just work straight away.

When I press the trigger button on ND2 the sounds are normal, powerful ( i have monitored through headphones)

When I play the corresponding sound on the Pad, it is super low, need to play really hard, and there no real expression/ sensitivity.

Dunno if that is a headphones issue ? I read in the forum that the headphones volume may be too low for some other users

I tried :

- different Ethernet cable
- Resetting the sensitivity of pad (like an external pad) although the manual says it should be set automatically

Anyone having the same issues?

Cheers!

Hi!
When you use the trigger button you get max velocity (you can change that, but by default set at 127)

You can change some aspects of how the unit responds to velocity, and you can change sensitivity (only for pads/triggers) but it would perhaps be nice if they'd add some alternative velocity curves!
