P.S: The new A1 is here already, but it's in the Stage 3. Should be not that difficult to release a new lead. A matter of "want" not "can"
Features:
* Documented sysex as in the 2X,
* Sample loading (see playback the A1 engine in the Stage 3), but with well documented MIDI sample interface/Sysex,
* Custom loadable OSC waveforms via sysex
* Firmware upload using standard sysex. (no Mac/Windows dedicated software)
* In other words, no closed protocols or software.
* Host USB MIDI connector
* A CC to change between performance and normal mode.
* Desktop Form factor but still mountable in 19" (Guess they can make it flat like a DSI P12M or virus TI) making it smaller/portable might be attractive.
* No need for "one knob per function", now that there is a display (see Stage 3) things could be condensed.
" Include the synth engine of the Lead 4 and select A1 or A4 mode by layer.
* 90V-240V international integrated power supply
* Backwards compatible with A1 (and possible Lead 4) patches
* CV/Gate I/O, Eurorack mountable ?
* Price around 1000 Euro's
That would make me consider Nord's again.
And BTW really would like Nord to release their piano/electro engines in a rack/desktop again.
It has been a long time since the last one and a lot of things have evolved (larger memory etc

Re: What features would you want in an A2?
That LCD screen on the Nord Stage 3 would, the sweet sounding s-wave, together with the sample playback would make my A1 a dream synth, please Nord can we package this into the A2 and I will put my money down now I'm fed up with having to write down on bits of paper the names of patches
In the meantime I will keep attempting to play the keys on my A1 (and having great fun)

EGAD. That's why I bought Nord's in the first place. Please don't remove it!

I agree with you, I think Happy's suggestion is shocking!
Keep the knobs!
Re: What features would you want in an A2?
There is one thing i have been dreaming for a while: LFO and Mod Env as Morph Source.
In other term, bring the morphing logique to its completeness, as a real modulation matrix.

MODX7, Nord Wave 2, Hammond Pro 44H, too many plugins.

Preloaded with real vintage synth samples, not the usual burps and farts nobody needs or uses.

Samples? This is a VA. But I would love to see sample loading on the A2.

I wish for a better keybed - like Virus TI or Prophet 6, one octave more and a small OLED with patch name, category etc.
