Nord Lead Switches Issue

[klinklan]

Hi everyone,
i am a spanish happy NL2Rack owner. I love this forum, i have learned a lot of things. I have a question for you.

Time ago my NL began to have this strange problem:
when i switch it on the switches dont work properly. I need to press it a lot of times every switch (4-5 times, sometimes more) before they began to work as usual. Using a midi controller there is no problem. It happens with all the switches...

If i turn it off and let it for some time it happens again.

There is someone with the same problem? any idea of solving it? Only one more thing, i suspect that it began to happen after using for the first time the "hidden filter" option.
i am cleaning the circuits and the switches one by one this days.

thank you.

not until today. i have cleaned all, including the metal contacts from the switches. i will give a try tomorrow. thx.

if i have no luck:
there is any way of doing a hard reset to the NL2?

Hi,
i have tested it and it seems to work ok!
so, it would be probably a matter of dust in the metal contacts, but i will be looking for the next days, because probably it will happen again...

i recommend all NL owner with some electrician skills to open their nord and clean it (it's so easy, swedish excellent design!), mine looks now better than new!
