Last week, from local shop in the USA, not a large chain retailer. They told me it had been in stock for about two weeks (around mid February).

ericL wrote:Does the "Page Name" sub feature do anything? This is a new arrival on the most recent version and some have speculated that it MIGHT be a way to get back some of the missing Song capabilities, if there's a way to add a name to each Page. The current version of the NS4 manual shows the "Page Name" in their graphics, though it is not mentioned or explained as far as I can tell. I would be curious if someone with this latest version can find any kind of Page naming functions, or if Nord is saving this for a future OS update.
I can't get the PAGE NAME button to do anything. I've tried shift-press and a long-press. That button just seems to function as STORE and STORE AS.
But I've had this for less than a week and I'm still learning the interface. I still don't understand those triangles next to some functions...some are shaded solid, some are hollow, and I don't know what the difference is.

I also just received a v2.0 from Sweetwater. The white or gray caps are going to be much easier to see against the black background in low light. Nord parts are supposed to be available from the distributor. Sweetwater promised me a v2.1 so I've asked them about either an exchange, or sending me new fader caps.

Mine has 2.0 RevB - bought in May in Germany...
But I suspect, that it has been stored at the shop for while (and it had been Firmware 1.14)...
