Hi all , i have a small problem with my Nord rack 2x.
Normally i use synth but not rack versions.This is my first rack and i have a problem with connecting it with my midi controller keyboard.I did everything on manuels pdf like ;

Oxygen 8 or M-Audio key 49 i have both of them and i tried them with Nord rack 2 x.

ok lets look what i did,

1-I use midi cable
2-I connect it to midi keyboard out and Nord rack in.
3-After done midi i set midi keyboard midi channel to 1
4-And i press together shift and midi on Nord, and made Midi channel 1.

And i press key on Midi keyboard and no more sounds anything.

I think i had done all things with connections and making settings..
Please tell me if i forget something or u know this problem !
Thank u again.

can't say for sure but it sounds like you're doing everything right MIDI connections/ settings wise. THe only thing that you could check (and I don't know whether or not this even applies to Clavia synths) if your Nord is set to a single or multi mode. If it's set to a multi mode and it just happens to be an empty multi then obviously you won't get any sound. Also, MIDi assignments within the multi itself could play an important role. For example the multi program change receive channel is set to 1 but the actual parts are set to channels 5 through 9 or something. Just giving you an example here.

Could also be anything as simple as a bad MIDi cable or main out volume being muted/ turned down all the way. Don't forget the simple things. It's often the simple stuff that gets overlooked.

If you have no luck finding answers here then try www.virusti.com and may be Clavia Yahhoo user groups. I'm sure it's something simple though and you'll figure it out sooner or later.

cheers,

Does the MIDI controller keyboard work with your other MIDI synths apart from the Nord rack? and visa versa does the the Nord rack work ok when you send it MIDI data from a computer rather than the MIDI controller?

At least that would narrow down which component is your problem.

Check midi control 7 and 11..maybe you are transmitting "0" volume level
