Everything about Nord keyboards in general; which one to choose, the sound manager, sample editor, and general discussion about the sample and piano libraries.

The panel layout looks more like a lead or wave rather than electro or stage model. That green led, drawbar-like thing is certainly not a drawbar, as those are physical on the latest stage/electro models, and red color in the older ones. Most likely it's an input level indicator. This new synth probably uses external audio as oscillator (like the roland sh-201), or maybe features a vocoder as some others have assumed...and it is most likely to be 61 keys, or more because of the split points. Many NW owners in this forum have prayed for a 61key NW with split capabilities, so my guess is that those guys will be very happy very soon!

Bet on a Nord Lead with OLED copied from the other lines with a few minor enchancements over the NL4. Thus an NL5. NL4 was released in 2013. A2 (2014) probably next year.
Hope a RACK version at the Messe, but that is probably wishful thinking. An A1R or NL4R is very hard to find.

Any gossip? or are you sworn to secrecy? Was it SoundTech (the distributor) you spoke with? if so, pinch of salt springs to mind.

The split points and the OLED screen are not just "a few minor enchantments" IMHO. Those together with the mysterious green thing make me believe it will be a new approach to synthesis, like was the A1 or the WAVE back then...It will probably have the L4 or A1 engine, but new features will be incorporated as well. W2 or A2 most likely for me...

Am I the only one who sees two nord lead A1's at this page?

Perhaps they are cloning this section as a template?

I know we will find out in less than a week, but still is fun to speculate
