NS4: Sound Menu -> Program Levels not fully working

Hi folks,

I found a problem using my NS4 (latest firmware 1.54) and would like to know whether you can confirm that your NS4 is behaving the same:

I wanted to reduce the output levels for all my user programs by -6dB, thus having the ability to boost a layer for soloing if needed. I'm aware that I have to do this program by program, but:

For some programs I cannot change the level using Sound Menu -> Program Levels. To me it seems this is the case whenever a morph is assigned to any level of a layer. For all other programs it works fine.

I don't know if this is intentional by NORD or if it is a bug. I think it is a bug, as also the morphing levels could easily be adapted with the desired program level changes accordingly.

What do you think?

Thanks

Eumel

I think I saw the same thing the other day... my theory was/is: if there is a morph that reduces some level to 0 (actually minus infinity / off), then the feature does not work... as the firmware I guess thinks "I cannot go below minus infinity"...

To me, that is a not strictly speaking a "bug" but a "dumb limitation", as "minus infinity minus 6dB" should be just "minus infinity"... but yeah... would be great to "fix" that, as it is annoying... :)

I contacted Nord support about this issue. Let's see what they say.
