Common Nord Wave 2 Questions
How do I sync the Nord Wave 2's arpeggiator and LFOs to an external MIDI clock source?
In the Nord Wave 2's System Menu, navigate to the MIDI Clock settings and set 'MIDI Clock' to 'External'. Then, ensure your external MIDI device is transmitting clock messages and the Wave 2 is set to the correct MIDI channel.
What's the difference between a 'Program', a 'Performance', and a 'Wave Layer' on the Nord Wave 2, and how do I save them?
A Wave Layer is a single sound source, a Program combines up to 4 Wave Layers, and a Performance chains up to 16 Programs. To save, press the 'Store' button, select the desired location, and press 'Store' again to confirm.
How can I quickly access my favorite sounds on the Nord Wave 2 during a live performance?
Utilize the 'Live Mode' to create a custom bank of your frequently used Programs. Press 'Shift' + 'Live Mode' to assign sounds to the Live Mode slots, making them instantly accessible.
My Nord Wave 2 is making no sound, even though the volume is up. What could be the problem?
First, ensure that the 'Master Volume' knob is turned up, and that no Wave Layers are muted or have their volumes set to zero. Also, check the headphones jack, as inserting a plug will mute the main outputs.
How do I use the Nord Wave 2's Sample Editor to import my own custom samples?
Connect the Nord Wave 2 to your computer via USB, launch the Nord Sound Manager software, and drag your compatible sample files (WAV or AIFF) into the Sample Editor section. Then sync the sample to the instrument using the sound manager.
