Hello,
two days ago I upgraded my NS2's firmware to 1.70 (latest) and yesterday I almost freaked out on a gig when I realized that dual KBmode isn't working properly. It all worked fine with ver. 1.64. What it happened is that when I assign an instrument on slot B (for instance organ), it doesn't work. My typical setting is of course piano in the bottom (NS2) and B3 on top (Novation SL49 mk2).
Can someone please help me solve this problem cause I have a pretty important gig in the evening.

Thank you

I found something that could help in NS2 OS update history:

''The dual keyboard and slot MIDI channels will be disabled accordingly if they are set to the global channel or the same values as each other. An asterisk will indicate that another section is already set to this channel and interface.''

Can You explain this in a more simple way cause I'm kind of MIDI idiot.

I guess that it means that if the channels are the same, it won't work, so change the channel to something else than the global channel? I have not used the function, but I guess that this is to guarantee that the midi messages go to the right sound generator in that mode?

Go to the MIDI menu and set all channels except Dual KB to "off". Then switch to the other slot and do the same again.

I was a bit disappointed that new OS still has no fix for Dual KB mode when organs are used in both slots: I'm still not able to use perc in Slot A in Dual KB mode if both slots are set for organ sound.

I wonder if Clavia also gonna update the organ section up to the same league as NC2D, NC2, NE4. I feel a bit disappointed that the flagship Clavia keyboard is less capable then NE.
