Interesting. If that's the case, I think this would be the first time in which hardware revisions add something much more substantial than the nearly cosmetic-only differences that were there with previous models.
And that's good and bad at the same time, because it contributes to further differentiate different "versions" of basically the same keyboard, putting early adopters at a disadvantageous position, and more importantly, making the interchange of Programs more difficult.

Not the first time actually, NS2 Rev B. introduced both panel controls and features (e.g. KB Gate) not found on Rev. A
As you say this is good for Rev B buyers, but "not so good" (to say the least) for Rev A owners as it creates some unrecoverable gap and (even worse) a consequent decrease of their keyboard value...

I bought a new nord piano 5 and I have a question: do I need to update the system to version 1.24? . Version 1.16 is displayed when the instrument is turned on.

There is also a new function in this Nord Piano rev B: the sostenuo pedal of the tripe pedal board (the middle one) can be reassigned to control the Tremolo of the sample engine.
