Hi guys, first post!

I just bought a used Nord Lead 2 keyboard and I'm loving it. However, it freezes every 10-15 mins or so (i knew this when I bought it). The notes hang, and none of the controls respond. I have to power off and back on for it to return to its normal operation.
The problem is particularly bad in performance mode, and it specifically crashes every time I hit a key on program A9.

I think it's a firmware problem.
I'm running Firmware 1.06, which appears to be the latest one.


My question: Do any of you know how (or if) can I reset/reload/order a new firmware, even if it is the same version?


Thanks!

Hi Wout, thanks for replying!

No, no MIDI cables connected. Just power, and Mono output. I've also used headphones instead.

Well try this...

Remove a possible PCMCIA card.
Press [Shift+ModEnv] buttons together.
After a while the LCD should jump to 1.
Check A9 again...

OK tried it, aaaaaaaaand still the same Sad

The LCD jumped back to 1, then I went to A9, pressed a key and it froze.

I'm noticing that it usually happens when there are too many keys pressed (except for A9).


Any other suggestions? Question

And how about Performance B4?
It's just like A9 a 4 Slot Performance. I'm not talking about abrupt stopping Voices, just about freezing: no nothing at all anymore. A total crash...

Maybe there is something wrong with the Voice allocation or in the way how this is handled by your NL. Repairs have to be done by a Nord Service station. Maybe contact Clavia Support (info@clavia.se), ask if this could be the trouble and what and where to get it repaired.

Thanks for your help Wout. I'll see if I can replicate the problem in a different program.

I've also contacted Clavia support.

Keep us informed about the project and how it could be solved.
Clavia is monitoring this forum, so probably they know the problem already.
