Re: NS4 Wish List for Future Stage 4 OS Upda

With my 2nd wish - toggle mode for switching layer - I am talking about using triple pedal’s left pedal for changing layer. I have exp pedal for my left foot. I cannot use that if I need to press constantly other to get layer II. Current usage is not very well thought by Clavia IMO

P.S. When NS4 & triple pedal 2 came I thought that FINALY we have something useful for those two pedals (other than sustain). At least I need to still wait…

In my humble opinion the main advantage of the triple pedal is the very-un-popular sostenuto pedal. It's a bit of a mystery why the sostenuto doesn't receive much attention not even in classical playing.

Another wish - some may think it’s not that important but I think that would not be a big deal for Clavia to implement:

Pedal noises to be NOT global level parameter but program.

Reason is simply that you may want to have for example LoFi/vintage piano with very much of noises and then another HiFi-type / more distant sounding piano which has 0 db or near pedal noises.

So I got the NS4 73 a few days ago and I must say that it's a amazing keyboard !

I have some requests regarding the LFO :
1. I wish there was an AMP destination (in addition of OSC CTRL, PITCH and FILTER).
2. I would like to be able to send the LFO to multiple destinations at the same time (and with different amounts would be even better)
3. It would be great to be able to choose the phase of the LFO (maybe too much to ask for Nord but very usefull) just like on the Kronos.

What do you think ?

1' drawbar cancel is a deal breaker period.Wasn't addressed on ANY flagship Stage models.
Electro has a better organ menu for WAY less money.
How about a pitchstick that lasts more than 10 months?
Stage3 88 Nord revised the panel and buttons and was my cue to beat the price down 1000 dollars!
Only redeeming thing I can recall about the deal.

The Stage3 88 ver1.1 has been very robust.The Compact? Not as well made.On it's third pitchstick.
Nord forges ahead and leaves many owners disappointed with NO updates EVER on the organ models.
This 1962 Hammond not for sale.

The top six tones 85-91 don't match the pitch of ANY of these 12 Hammond tonewheel organs.85 is downright BAD!

Allow option for expression pedal to only affect volume on external synth modules that are midi to stage 4 without affecting other onboard patches.

It would be advantageous if different split assignments could be made in Layer Scenes I and II
