Floating split point, when?

Post by Stig-Musicmind »

Hi
I have been using Yamaha for a long time and a year ago I started to do gigs - again - an bought a Nord Stage 4, which I'm very happy about. But, there is a but, I need to set a split point between two clavinet sounds, where the upper clav is transposed an octave down. I have managed that, but the split point needs to be on A - below middle C. This is not possible???? I can have the C above or the F below.

Isn't this an issue among other users?

Hi and welcome to NUF

If you do a search on this forum about "split points" you will find many discussions on this topic and different points of view, but bottom line at the moment it is what it is and you need to adjust your splits to Nord logic of having 2 points per octave (split crossfade is a helper in that respect, you can set it to 6 semitones to "blend" the 2 parts around the split point).

The only alternative is to use some external MIDI processing, putting the split sections in Aux keyboard mode and then addressing them via Nord Stage own External section, controlled by a MIDI app like Mainstage, Camelot Pro etc.. where you can freely manage splits.

Mmh. I'm not sure if that 'alternative' now works without any side effects concerning controls. Getting MIDI fully usable is in the making, as far as I'm observing the scenery.

You mean the problems of NS4 with managing MIDI CCs from external keyboards I guess; yes of course those bugs can be a problem also in that alternative scenario (until they will be solved) but I wanted to give the OP a vision of all possible options in general, hoping bugs won't stay there forever.

Would be nice if some NS4 owner checked that scenario: Creating a MIDI loop on the NS4 in order to filter or manipulate the commands. With local=off.
