Hello !
I would love to buy a rack module but, I can't see any product on Nord's website. Did they discontinue the production?
I don't have enough space for a keyboard...
Thanks!
Rack discontinuation?

Re: Rack discontinuation?
I don't think so, even if Nord website doesn't show them as distinct products, if you check the images section of Nord Lead 4 and Nord Lead A1 you see that the NL4r and A1r are still there.
Also in the specs you read
49-key octave velocity sensitive keyboard (keyboard version only)
so the "rack version" exists (and of course has no keyboard)

Why? Did they write a statement?
Strange decision as not everybody want the keyboard.

The sales are not good enough. This is the only possible reason.

Re: Rack discontinuation?
Music retail store in the U.S. don't have the Rack version listed.
I purchased all of my Nord Leads in Rack/Desktop versions.
I have the NL4-R, NL A1-R, and NL 2X-R. I'm glad I got them in Rack format, and don't know why they would discontinue such a useful format, that saves space, easy to move around, light-weight, and very well built. If sales are the reason, then I for one helped a bit, but maybe not enough sales. oh..well.

I bought mine after they were discontinued. Hard to find...but they're around here and there.

I also hope that their next Nord Lead model/s will have a Rack version.
