bug: octave shift down button double press

Post by varignet »

I noticed my a1 octave shift down button sometimes jumps two positions. I thought of a dirty contact but it seems to happen only after playing with lots of other controls and while holding many notes.
also it never happens in keyboard octave shift mode.

perhaps a bug? I'll try blowing compressed air next. Honestly it's no biggie, have you noticed anything similar?

That's never happened to me. But thanks for making me look up what keyboard octave shift mode is, and for giving me a new slap mark on my forehead.

octave shift mode is great, octave shifts with smooth sound transitions

Yeah I use octave shift all the time. But I didn't know you could activate it for all slots in a performance using keyboard octave shift - seems obvious in hindsight. :thanks:

can the button be taken off to clean the contacts without opening the chassis?

p.s.
Yes it's a great feature

Classic Nord style button problem. (I do not have the solution though, sorry...)

My good old G2 sometimes does that on the 2-3 most used buttons over the time. I once refused to buy a NL3 because it did it all the time and I wanted to use it live.
