Electro 5D OS what changed in version 2.04?

[cbluff]

Anything that would affect the sounds?

I recently purchased a used 5D61 which is at OS 2.0 and it sounds different than my 5D73 which is at 2.04...

Hi,

I can‘t recall the update history since the nord website doesn‘t show it anymore. The update to version 2.04 only was regarding the windows USB driver now included. If I browse my mind and am not that false I believe there was a version 2.02 that corrected some e-piano artefacts, i. e. wrong or distorted tones. That was the last I updated! You should only be able to hear differences if you play Rhodes or Wurly sounds.

All other differences, be it real or felt, could have to do with output routings, EQ or touch settings. I‘d go through the manual with an eye on system settings.

Cheers from Germany

Here‘s the update history from v1.30 to v2.02 for those who might be interested:

Nord Electro 5 Update History

v2.02 (2021-05-05)
Clicks/artifacts could occur when changing from programs using version 6 pianos. Fixed.

v2.00 (2019-02-12)
Added support for version 6 .npno files
Audible clipping could occur in Rotary effect, under certain circumstances. Fixed.

v1.44 (2018-04-19)
Spare part compatibility update

v1.42 (2017-03-07)
Fixed bug where instrument could get stuck in Set List mode if performing an OS update in Set List mode

v1.40 (2017-01-24)
Fixed bug where Long/Soft Release would not work as expected with Synth Pianos

v1.30 (2016-04-13)
Swell and volume weren't handled separately for upper and lower parts over MIDI. Fixed.
In MIDI Upper split mode, swell and volume reacts via MIDI regardless of the "CTRLPED on/off" setting. This enables the use of an external expression pedal that can control upper part while lower part is controlled by internal pedal.
MIDI CC#11 (ControlPedal) now controls Organ swell, Effect1 Ctrl and piano/sampler volume. CC#4 also works for organ swell, and CC#7 for volume.
Fixed bug where dirty '*' was not preserved correctly when switching between program buffers in set list mode.
Changing from a program with organ drawbar live enabled, to a program with organ live disabled would sound like the second program had live enabled, if in Set List mode. Fixed.
Debounce algorithm added for switch type pedals.
Param hint for Pan/Trem is now a simple 0.0 -> 10.0 instead of in Hz.
Dirty flag did not always show after program parameter edit. Fixed.
Memory Protect now also disables Organize.
Entering the KB Split or Transpose displays, from a menu page would still indicate the previous menu page by blinking LED. Fixed.
