stoken6 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Does anyone know if the NS2 is MIDI class compliant? My situation is that I'm using the NS2 as an upper-tier board over a weighted-88 controller. That means the MIDI in on the NS2 is occupied. I'd like to use Set List Maker to send program changes to the Nord - could I use the NS2's USB MIDI for this purpose? I think it will work if the NS2 is MIDI class compliant, but I rather suspect it isn't. Why else would Nord supply a bespoke MIDI driver ? Cheers, Mike.

FJR Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Along a similar topic... Has anyone tried using it to control another keyboard via usb midi? For example the kronos will recognize class compliant controllers. Has anyone tried to control a kronos from the nord, using the usb interface? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoken6 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 daisy chain them. Setlist maker device to the 88, 88 to the Nord. I don't think this will work. The SLM program changes will appear on the 88's MIDI THRU, while my playing on the 88 will appear on MIDI OUT. I'll need a merge box, which I'd like to try and avoid. Cheers, Mike.

DanL Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 what 88 controller are you using? Does it have patch change capability?

fjzingo Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Suppose it is, I've used the USB in the other direction controlling ipad via the camera kit. /Fred Cantaloop Soulfetch Soulbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoken6 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 @Fred - can I confirm: you've connected a Nord Stage 2 to iPad via Camera Connection Kit, and you can play iPad sounds from the Nord? Cheers, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoken6 Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Appropriately enough given the time of year, this is a Zombie Thread Alert. I took the plunge and bought a Yamaha iUX-1 (USB midi-to-30-pin interface), a 30-pin adapter (legit Apple model), and Set List Maker app. I'm happy to report that it plays nicely with my NS2. This is a big deal to me because, as posted above, my NS2's 5-pin MIDI IN is connected to my lower-tier controller. Using USB MIDI IN allows SLM to send Program Changes to the Nord while the lower tier is connected. My first gig with this setup is tonight. I'm relaxed about it, but very pleased to have found this solution. Cheers, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr88s Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Mike, Thanks a lot for taking the time to report back on one of your old threads. It's easy to forget about the threads and move on once you have things working, but checking back and reporting on your progress will definitely prove helpful to lots of others who stumble upon it through Google and the like.

stoken6 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Gig report: it worked at my gig last week. I've found one gotcha with the Nord: if you make a change to a program using the front panel, the Nord doesn't accept program changes from Set List Maker. So I'd made it to the end of the set, probably adjusted some drawbuttons or something, and no matter how much I jabbed at the screen for our final number, I got no Uptown Funk at all. Now I need to fabricate some kind of stand, attached off the Nord, that will support my iPhone centrally. At the moment I'm laying it over the ends of the front panel, and it's difficult to see. Ideas welcome... Cheers, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjzingo Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I use the Nord notestand to support my ipad, Ive used the midifunc in forscore to send prog change and as much as I change the sounds I never run into that th nord doesnt change presets. Im all over the interface changing delay times etc... /Fred Cantaloop Soulfetch Soulbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoken6 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Unfortunately mine is the 73 waterfall, which doesn't have the mounting holes for a music stand. I'm going to try and rig up a mic boom from my keyboard stand, and get a mic adapter for the phone. Cheers, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjzingo Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 On my Nord electro I used to use my magnetic cover as support for my ipad to right, it worked pretty fine actually. If you could live with the phone to the right its not a bad place if you find some sort of magnetic cover. /Fred Cantaloop Soulfetch Soulbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoochie Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 This has been the best holder yet for my iPad. It's pretty tough. I don't use the bungie. Just set it in the holder. It allows the connection kit use in either orientation. That was the big thing. And ease of use.

I have really enjoyed the K&M clips that clamp onto round tubing (e.g. model 19727 for iPad Air 2), in conjunction with the On Stage KS7150. Clamps nicely onto the leg. I usually set up facing across the stage, so I just put it on the upstage side and it's mostly invisible from the audience. In fact, I'm having a hard time finding a picture of my rig that it's even visible in, which is kind of the point. Edit: you can just barely make out the clip and a corner of the iPad in this shot, next to my left knee. Perfectly placed to casually glance down and do what I need to do. http://slorg.org/kc/iPadBarely.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoken6 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 X-stand with just the uprights of a second tier (not the horizontal arms). I've also got a K&M 240/5 (aka 24050) extension arm, which I'll try to bring in to use with this rig. I think I'll need a mic-to-tripod adapter and a tripod-based phone mount. Cheers, Mike.

fjzingo Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 It was a phone you wanted to mount right? http://products.k-m.de/us/product?info=1632&xa8c21=f33fd914cf050365fc953328c7f38bfa /Fred Cantaloop Soulfetch Soulbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoken6 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Yes a phone. I haven't got a convenient upright on my stand (the whole stand is "under" the keyboards) and the flexible gooseneck is a bit short to bring the phone round to the front. Cheers, Mike.
