Re: Updates A1 & L4
The Nord Lead 1 (and 2, which used parts of the same code) had a "hidden" notch filter via a shift function where all three filter LED's lit up. It was quite a useful filter for me. It was not mentioned in the press release at the time, nor the manual. It was considered an Easter Egg along with Pelle's Mode. Things like that seems unlikely to happen nowadays.

Gustavo wrote:I believe we could see more updates, but those would be mostly bug fixes rather than upgrades. I personally don't think Nord has ever added an important feature via an update. Most updates have been slight improvements at most.
Actually the LeadA1 and especially the Lead 4 benefited from very substantial upgrades, that introduced wholly new features (more polyphony on the A1, lots of improvements and new features on the 4) and even required a minor update on the front panel (the multi focus feature that was added to the 4, by pressing shift+keyb tracking)
But I suspect most of those updates were planned in advance, that is they released a kind of "beta" OS, and later brought the features to their full potential.

Re: Updates A1 & L4
Yes, Spider, that's very consistent with current software releases; the first one's essentially the last beta that sort of kinda works and then there's a mandatory update that follows pretty shortly. Apple does the same thing with OS X and iOS.
