None of the outputs is working as two stereo channels, only the left otput of both pairs works, you know, ab and cd; only a and c works but they are the same channel.
I pluged the headphones output to my mixer for recording two stereo channels to two tracks, only one track is recorded, i did try to listen with the headphones, it works fine. What is this...
I'm selling the NL3 and buying NL2, i had enough of misbehavior.It is making me crazy. This keyboards cost a fortune, they could work according to the price you pay, right?

I'n not quite shure of being clear: my NL3 is not working in stereo, only one channel is outputting sound, even throug the headphones output ...
however the headphones play the sound in stereo...



Help, Help!

A jack stereo output uses a TRS plug ( a stereo jack ). Plugging in a mono jack connector and then into a mixer won´t work too good. Plugging in a TRS ( from the ehadphone output ) into a balanced line input on a mixer won´t quite do either. There are however stereo TRS breakout cables you can use. Or you could solder your own.



Trivia:
The stereo jack / TRS thingie is a bit of a mess for newbees. There is a thing called balanced signal.. and it is pretty common to use TRS jack cables for this too.

Yes, the mixing desk is set right.

Electro 80:

I use two mono instrument cable (monster) to output the sound of all my synths to the mixer with no problem; well, sometimes the Alesis QS8 sucks one of the outputs and don't work, then all of a sudden works... The EMU 6PK always works in stereo so if i output the sound by the headphone jack is because of laziness or maybe because of a shorter couple of cables, but most of my outputs from keyboards are stereo balanced cables with Y cables in each extreme and so they go from keyboard to mixer, that is how i record keyboards and synths and also computer instruments, yes i play virtual instruments from the laptop and i record them in my 16 tracks,
unless i have no more chance that record into the computer when i'm in a rush or out of my studio somewhere else....

The mixing desk of the NL3 is set right and as i have the three keyboards interconected via midi and midi thru i didn't check the recording tracks until a moment after recording the tracks, but i just saw the NL3 track in the mixer and it was clipping and then i realised that only one track was working the other track was dead...

I think one of the channels is out for lunch, is this possible? i mean do you think i have to take The NL3 to the doctor?
The QS8 works fine now, but when i run it through the racks one of the channels always fails. then i have to run it through headphone jacks but it clipps inmediatly because of the different impedance, i guess...

Thank you guys for your help. let me know what you think.

If the...

cables are alright...
panning of the mixing desk are set right (left and right to two channels)...
panning of the sequencer tracks are set right...
NL3 [Synth > Audio routing > S1 or S2] are set right...

and there is still no stereo at the outputs...

I would bring it to the doctor.

Wout

BTW you are telling about a lot of troubles in your set up, so I would check all things very precise!!! The doctor costs money...
