Nord Stage 3 wish list

[jfenton]

How about an option to select secondary attached incoming midi keyboard as either Hi or Low and when doing this disengage the appropriate split on the main keyboard.

That way many of your programs could work when attaching a secondary incoming keyboard say assign it to low and not change your program. Just start using the lower keyboard instead of lower keys on the Nord.

I stumbled across another one. I would like to have i recognize (all notes off). Apparently the NS2 does not. Tried it and found via the manual it doesn't support. I have an external midi controller set up through Bome SW. I have set up buttons to transmit to different channels based on button selection ie Organ A, Organ B, Piano A Piano B. Etc.
However if I'm holding a key and deselect the channel the note hangs on. (common midi issue). Right now I have to either:

renable sending on that channel, find the offending note and press it again to get note off sent. Then disable the channel without pressing a key
or
press panic on my NS2 EX.

Is there a reason Nord designed the NS2 EX not to recognize "All Notes off?" Controller 126?

Isn't 126 the control for Mono mode off.
Did you try 123, 0
See midi.org, in the summary:

All Notes Off. When an All Notes Off is received, all oscillators will turn off.
c = 123, v = 0: All Notes Off (See text for description of actual mode commands.)
c = 124, v = 0: Omni Mode Off
c = 125, v = 0: Omni Mode On
c = 126, v = M: Mono Mode On (Poly Off) where M is the number of channels (Omni Off) or 0 (Omni On)
c = 127, v = 0: Poly Mode On (Mono Off) (Note: These four messages also cause All Notes Off)

[jfenton]

Yes sorry, it is 123 and it is NOT supported on the Stage 2 both in practice and according to the Midi chart in the manual. Maybe I can flip mono on and off to accomplish what I want.

[jfenton]

Just tested. Looks like it doesn't respond to cc 126 or 127 either. Looks like I will have to set up my software to sweep the entire keyboard with note off when disabling a given channel/instrument or just make sure I don't have any keys pressed when disabling the selected instrument/channel messages.

If you run linux, you can modify this script to go through all the notes of a given channel and set velocity to 0 (without the 'sleep' steps!)

It might be useful to reset other commands (like modulation and pitch wheels, and perhaps MIDI volume) so you do not have surprises.

[jfenton]

Yes I wrote a script on my midi translation software to sweep the whole keyboard with note off messages. Not very elegant but it works.

[Mr. Marko]

NLA2 Style synth section with dual ouster sample layers or 2 oscillators and full ADSR envelopes
Polyphonic Portamento
Pitch Bend Range - 1 Ocatve
Pedal Steel Pitch Bend Mode
FULL Parameter Morphing Like NLA1
User Sample Loading for Piano Section with basic filter and envelope for strings and pad sounds
Make Organ Piano and Synth ON OFF Switches like EXT SWitch Functions...no more HARD ON OFF of sound. ON OFF of Key Trigger

And finally...a few processed piano sounds for those of us who need a "Roland or Yamaha" patch to satisfy a few tunes but prefer the Nord user enviroment.

I don't need a set list. There are 400 spaces, just give the programs the name of the songs and the categories the name of the bands you're playing in, you're ready for the next song quicker than most guitarists. A seamless transition between programs would be great, sometimes you need 2 programs for a song, but at least put the delay and reverb behind the program switching please. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with that small display, it doesn't blind your eyes so much. It looks much cooler on stage too. I wonder if they read all that s***... love, Hansi.

Since it's the top of the line of nord keyboard, why don't bring the same keybad and funcionality of nord piano 3, but also the same memory size of piano samples for other sound samples. So if 1GB for piano, then 1GB for samples too. Because 380MB is not compatible with the price and resource it have, since we have a lot more from competitor with less price.
I know the pianos is unbeatable, but then the nord piano 3 is the top of line.
If clavia intent to make nord stage the top, then bring more than piano(as they does), but give memory for us to have more than piano damit.
