Updates A1 & L4
I've just recently picked up a Lead 4 and already have an A1, is there likely to be any updates to these Synths, as there hasn't been for quite some time. I guess, I got used to the Chorus/ensemble fx in the A1 and the 4 is crying out for it. Any info?

Re: Updates A1 & L4
A1's at v1.34. It seems to basically work...

Re: Updates A1 & L4
Why would you say that? There was just an update last week or so...

Re: Updates A1 & L4
I do not think so. Latest updates in the Nord site were 2015-10-07 for the A1, 2014-12-23 for the L4.

Re: Updates A1 & L4
You're right, that was a Piano 3 update I was thinking of...

Re: Updates A1 & L4
I like the architecture of the L4 better than the A1. Better oscillators and EGs, more modulation.
I wish Nord produced some kind of hybrid with the L4 architecture, plus nsmp ability and the A1 effects.
Who would not like that?

Re: Updates A1 & L4
I would like to have the A1 OSCs and filters! They react differently than the ones of the L4. In fact I would be happy with an A1 without the (in some aspects highly stupid) limits like the global vobrato settings, the fixed upper/lower system, the fixed keyranges for upper/lower, individual pitch stick settings and so on.

Re: Updates A1 & L4
I also think it's unlikely we'll see major updates to the Lead4 and A1.
The latest firmwares fixed all bugs and even inported many features from the A1 to the 4. I think the hardware-dsp capabilities are probably already fully exploited.
They look like mature products, and they are also a few years old by now. I think Nord will be working on the next iteration of the Lead series, rather than using precious design efforts on marginal updates of old products.

There's no fixed keyranges or picth stick settings in the A1. They can be edited and saved as part of a performance.
