Are there any Rev B models actually out in the wild?

Did you ask for it or just randomly got it?

I asked the question to a major vendor in Norway. (Evenstad musikk) - They only sell the Rev B now.

Once a new Rev is issued, the old one can still exist only as distributor or retailer stock, so after some time all new ones will be the latest Rev (and Rev B is out for some time now) but is better to always ask for it explicitly when buying, particularly if online.

Last June, I asked for Rev.B, from our music shop here in Morocco, and they confirmed that it's the latest Rev.B with that vibrato button under the volume knob, so that's what I received ;-)

Are there any news on how to get access to the new features from the Rev A model?

Edit: That said, I'm really pissed at Nord. I bought my Piano 5 a few months after it came out, believing that this will stay the "top model" for at least 3-4 years.
Just half a year later there's a Rev B modell to which they added THREE NEW BUTTONS, which made the value of my Rev A modell drop significantly.

And although this Rev B has been out there for more than 1,5 years now - still no manual addendum for Rev A users?
Makes me believe the upgrades won't ever be available to us. Sorry, but that action heavily shook my trust in Nord :evil:

I'm also angry with Nord regarding the Nord Piano rev. B. If I don't enter the forums, I don't even know about this. That dynamic compressor in the piano section changes the rules of the game completely. I assume it will be the same piano compression that comes in the piano section of the NS4. Come on Nord, don't forget your users please!!! :evil: :evil:

While on the Nord Piano 5 Rev .B topic, here are my first impressions on it to revive this thread maybe?
