A bit similar situation here. It’s very difficult to get motivation to start working with it because so much potential is wasted. On the other hand same time I am having (fools?) hope that in the end they fix these midi issues and limitations.

Re: List of Nord Stage 4 known issues/bugs
Have you checked whether this still happens in 1.32? That came out yesterday or so.

Re: List of Nord Stage 4 known issues/bugs
I have updated a few of the "bugs" listed and added some comments, whereas the bugs that were fixed with 1.32 weren't in the list.
Some of the entries in the list aren't bugs but features, some aren't reproducible, and some descriptions are difficult to understand at all.
IMO the biggest construction side is still the whole MIDI/External problem.

Re: List of Nord Stage 4 known issues/bugs
It´s not really an issue or a bug, but...
My old Electro5 has the function "press Shift + turn Poti"
to show me the current programmed Value without changing it.
This is a very (welcome and) helpful function, that the Stage4 (I didn´t found something similar yet) does not offer.
So this option seems to be given for the Firmware / System (the Electro can handle it) and I hope,
"someone" is thinking / remembering about this option for the next Firmware update...

See manual page 42: "press MON/COPY + turn Poti" does the job...

You´re my Hero of the day!See manual page 42: "press MON/COPY + turn Poti" does the job...

I´d searched the manual for "the parameter’s current value to be displayed",
what was used in the NE5 manual for this option and did not find something.
The magic words has been "what a parameter on the panel is set to"

Re: List of Nord Stage 4 known issues/bugs
I think I've found another very minor bug.
Selecting LP Filter or HP Filter in the EQ section. The Mid/Res knob adjusts resonance as expected. The Mid Freq/Freq knob above it adjusts the cutoff, but the display still shows "EQ Mid Freq" - although the value in Hz appears to be correct.
Can anyone else reproduce in 0S v1.42?
