Nord Stage 2 Factory Reset
|Last Updated on June 20, 2022 by Nick
Nord’s original Stage launched in 2005 and became a hit with live performers and studio bods with its great sounding organ, piano, electric piano and synth sections, coupled with versatile effects and controller functions, in a portable and easy to use package. Representing a stunning new take on the famous Stage series, the Nord Stage 2 is the latest version of Clavia Nord flagship instrument line. This is loaded with Nord Sample Library-compatibility, the B3 and transistor organ engine from the C2, MIDI over USB and more memory for your favorite sounds. All in an amazingly user friendly interface where all vital functions are only button away! Three models are available: the HA88 and 76-note HA76, which share the same weighted hammer-action keyboard, and the 73-note SW73, which has a semi-weighted, organ-profile keyboard.
According to several Nord Stage 2 reviewers, some users have praised it for much improved synth section with arpeggiator and dedicated LFO; The acoustic pianos are excellent, as are many of the electric pianos, clavinets and harpsichords; The organ models and their related effects are superb; User sample upload and Nord Sound Library access. Also, some users have complained it for the voicing and effects architecture is restrictive if you need to step beyond basic multitimbral setups; not cheap, and making the triple pedal an expensive extra is rather naughty.

I have a Nord Stage 2 SW 73.
It will not power up… when I turn it on, all of the lights will flash for half a second and then disappear leaving only the display face lit showing blocks. I tried replacing the fuse but that is not the issue. Please let me know if you have a simple fix or can help me troubleshoot this problem!
