BTW

For those who ask before, yes there is a Secret Menu in Nord Stage 3. Just to Check stuff but there is! Shift+Split while turning on.

Wow! That sounds like a crazy situation :crazy: . And impressive how you handled it in the moment.

I'm glad it worked out for you and that your Nord Stage works again. :thumbup:

Interesting!

... I’ve always been curious about why all pianos and Rhodes pianos use the same noise pedal sound (actually two). It’s like they’re all part of a secret club or something!

Wow! That is a crazy situation! Right on top of the panel! Ahhhh!!!! What a disaster! I can’t believe you could continue at all! Wow! Props to you for carrying on!! :yourock:

When I was younger, I thought it would be a handy spot on top of my Roland XP-80 to sit my IBC root-beer. Then I hit a big chord hard :shock: and root beer spilled all over the keyboard!!! I was devastated! Unplugged it immediately and started unscrewing the panels to get the root beer out! What a sticky mess! (My grandfather got the dealer to replace it, I’m not sure how, but things were different back then too, and the XP-80 was at the top of the heap, which now would be the equivalent of the Fantom). I still have it and still use it! It’s in great condition.

I think it was definitely better that it was alcohol, but still unbelievable and what a disaster!

I’m so glad your Stage 3 is okay and that you’re able to continue to enjoy it! Wow!
