Nord Rack 2X - Pitch Bend issues

Post by Molifir »

Hi,

I own a Nord Rack 2X and it says Pitch Bend error on startup, additionally If I send midi to more than one channel the Nord, it bends down all channels until I hit the pitch bend of the active midi controller
( I tried with 3 different to make sure it has nothing to do with the controllers, and even without, just receiving midi from ableton).

Any fix?
:thanx:

Hi Molifir,

Just guessing off the top of my head here, but getting a pitch bend error upon boot of an instrument which does not actually have onboard pitch bend is probably a sign that something is configured incorrectly. There is a jumper configuration scheme on the panelboard which tells the waking instrument whether it is a keyed or rack version during the boot process. Perhaps this unit was serviced recently and the panelboard replaced without paying close attention to the jumper setting, or perhaps a solder joint has failed relating to the jumper. Either way, you're going to want to have a tech inspect it.

Bless,

Pablo
