NORD STAGE 4 officially announced for February 16th 2023

So all this noise to add only 1 synth panel compared to NS3 and drawbars lights?>

[AlexNagel]

Looks like we're losing the "Panel A/Panel B" structure and going to directly accessible dual organ, dual piano, and triple synth engines.

I hope we don't lose the possibility to NOT have reverb on some of the engines as it is now having two separate reverbs, one for each panel...

My right hand pianos (now in my NS3's panel A) do need some reverb, but I don't need reverb on my left-hand-bass sound (in my NS3's panel B) !!!

Still got the split points.

We obviously will be getting 8 program buttons (two rows of 4) instead of 5 - that's nice!

What is this button above the organ type button, very close to the top?

Must be the on/off button. There are other 2 close to the piano and synth section.

Anyway it's really cool! I am very happy for the drawbars. I am curious to see what other features are like.

It seems like we won't have to wait that long to find out!

There's three of those - master on/off switches for all organs/all pianos/all synths?

Anyone been in touch with suppliers re estimated stock of both the NS4 and NS3? Last week, UK were still waiting dates from Clavia for a NS3 shipment....

[florence]

ok master on/off makes sense.

Volume settings are now slider, no more a knob if my interpretation is correct.

Thinking for the compact version, panel is really full !! no more place at all on left and right side.

Also all split point are Green, but kb zone shows still 4 LEDS, maybe this is just for the demo all LED on...

Here's what we know so far:

- Hybrid LED drawbars even on the 88-key model
- no more "Panels A/B" — each engine has its own fader and on/off switch with volume LED chain.
- 2 organs
- 2 pianos
- 3 synths
- master on/off switches for all organs/all pianos/all synths
- Still fixed split points
- at least one additional split point (at low B/C) on 88-key model
