Nord Electro 3 update history

    v3.00 (2010-06-16)

  • The Electro 3 is now compatible with the new v5 platform with the v5 Piano sounds, the new Sound Manager 5.30 and the v3.00 WHQL certified USB driver.
  • Fixed an issue that on rare occasions could render USB transfers incomplete, causing corrupted memory areas in the unit.
  • Fixed an issue with the keyboard scanner that could produce incorrect, very strong velocities.
  • Fixed an issue where the memory usage could be displayed incorrectly. This could cause the Manager to present a larger amount of free memory than there actually was in the Flash partitions. This issue could also cause failed downloads.

  • v2.06 (2009-10-14)

  • Fixed a problem that occurred if MIDI Local was set too Off, and the Piano Type selector was used.
  • Fixed a Organ Vibrato MIDI bug. Vibrato Mode/Enable didn't work very well for any organ over MIDI.
  • Fixed an issue where the rotary effect had a bad influence on the reverb sound quality.
  • Fixed an issue where very small nsmp files could give a checksum error in the sample partition.
  • New CC added : CC107 controls B3 lower manual vibrato enable (CC85 still controls B3 upper manual vibrato enable).

  • v2.04

  • Bugfix: If you left the Electro 3 with the power on for several hours, it could crash with an unresponsive panel and noise at the outputs. This bug is now eradicated.
  • Bugfix: Reception of MIDI Control Change messages on addresses above CC120 would cause OS 2.02 to crash. This is not the case anymore.
  • Tonewheel-leakage loss fixed
  • Farfisa clipping/good for fireworks bug eradicated
  • Nord Sound Manager compability

  • v2.02

  • Added support for the Nord Sound Manager, the new generic sound manager application that other Nord units also will support.
  • Implemented remote focusing feature to be used with the new Nord Sound Manager. This allows you to select a piano, sample, program to be active in the Electro 3 from the Sound Manager application.
  • The constant leakage of the B3 was not always updated so it was sometimes silent. This happened in tonewheel mode vintage 3 only.
  • Fixed farfisa bug which caused clipping to occur when certain combinations were active - a.k.a. the Fireworks bug.

  • v1.22

  • If a control pedal was attached and the P-Wha was active, the Effect 1 Rate parameter setting was changed when you selected another program. This bug has now been fixed.
  • Increased octave shift range for pianos and SampLib. It now reaches from -2 to +2 octaves.
  • Increased the velocity sensitivity of all the piano sounds.
  • Faster and improved loading of programs.
  • Slightly changed behavior for outgoing Program Change messages. Now they"re sent when a program is actually loaded, not when scrolling by a program.
  • Faster delete operation over USB.
  • Fixed a bug in the Vox organ, where the 2nd foot drawbar was not loaded properly.

  • v1.16

  • MIDI implementation improvements. - Organ upper/lower drawbars now works correct over MIDI - Octave Shift affects MIDI In, not MIDI Out.
  • Changing to/fromSampLib now retains attack/release/vel.dyn. settings.
  • Fixed an issue with a lingering reverberation that could make noises when programs were changed, or when you switched between organ and piano.
  • Added the functionality of Send CC, DumpOne and DumpAll and these functions in the MIDI menu

  • v1.02

  • First release.
