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?>

yes ... hopping more too, was secretly hopping 3 on each panel but looks like it is not the case. But kids please wait two more days before any conclusion

Honestly, I don't see much usefulness in having more than 2 organs and/or pianos.
Instead I was hoping for 4 synth layers, or two simple "sample synths" (like on the NP5) and two "real synths"... you can never have enough of them!
But still it looks like a major update, let's see the full specs in a couple of days!

yes I 'm hopping more only for the synth part of course.

Looks like a mix of np5 and wave2

Another forum user (m1tsos)? had spoken to a nord tech and had found out that the NS4 (88) might have a different action (possibly closer to the piano). Be interesting to see if that's true and how it will affect the playability of the other sounds (organ and synth)

Hopefully the volume sliders are different from those used on the NW2 who often cracked.

And I'm really curious about the MIDI concept if there isn't anymore a panel A/B distinction. Maybe 1 channel per engine is back.

It seems like what i said before 6 months was truth

It is going to have triple sensor keybed at the 88 version.. it is possible for kawai keybed also..

Indeed ! 2,2 and 4 synths

[Ben Maxwell]

Very excited for this! Looks awesome!

[Schorsch]

Yes - looks really good. Interested to learn about the details and very much about any potential changes on the sounds of the engines, in particular if there are major changes / improvements for the B3 engine and rotor sim.

Also looking forward to new cassandra calls
