OS 1.24 is live at mothership!
Re: OS 1.24 is live at mothership!
>Not based on my experience. Maybe I am just used to it because I tend to buy newly released stuff, but many keyboards I have owned have had similar frequent early O/S updates to address problems<
I meant as far as Nord releases go. I haven't been here forever but I don't remember this level of concern with the last few new boards.
As far as new releases from the other corporate behemoths, I just assume they will be a buggy mess

Re: OS 1.24 is live at mothership!
Just look at the update history of the Stage Classic and Stage 2. The pattern is the same: lots of big updates in the first 6-12 months, both fixing bugs and introducing whole new features.Gambold wrote: I haven't been here forever but I don't remember this level of concern with the last few new boards.
So what's happening with the Stage 3 is nothing unusual.
I expect about a year for the product to be fully mature, and then there will still be minor but constant updates and bugfixing.
I'm not saying it's great, of course everybody would prefer to have a perfect instrument right away. Just saying that it's normal, like it or not.
If anything, the positive takeaway from this is that it shows that Clavia really listens to user requests and keeps updating its boards not only after initial release, but well beyond what many other companies consider their obsolescence point.
The last OS for the original Stage was about 10 years after its release -not many companies do that.

Re: OS 1.24 is live at mothership!
I believe the phrase is, "keep the hoards at bay." You're obviously not a software engineer and it sounds like you hate your Stage already, so sell it. I'm pretty happy with all the updates myself and have no actual complaints. It's a delightful instrument here.Al_DeKlein wrote:Who cares if text/dates on the website are correct or not... unimportant technicalities. v1.24 is a big "nothing burger" that shows Nord is doing the bare minimum to keep the angry hoards at bae...

Re: OS 1.24 is live at mothership!
I totally agree! Even if the organ isn’t quite right (yet), the Stage 3 is the most incredible, amazing and uttely mind blowing keyboard I’ve ever put my hands on. I will be posting audio examples soon of why this is true.
Bravo Nord!

My Roland JX-10 had a completely broken MIDI implementation until Colin Fraser completely rewrote the entire OS thirty years after it was released...and Roland’s kind of a big company.anotherscott wrote:There are plenty of boards out there where some functionality is quirky, where odds are it will never be addressed.

Re: OS 1.24 is live at mothership!
New OS 1.24 installed. Another step forward. I am convinced that NORD will solve all the issues over time.

If it's a nothing burger does that mean really they've outsourced v 1.24 to the Russians?
Very bad news indeed. Nord has been Finlandized.

Re: OS 1.24 is live at mothership!
I agree with AldeKlein and Gambold: I haven't bought the Stage 3 yet but in Canada, I will have to pay 5000 CAN$ to get the Compact when I had paid 4000$ only for the Stage 2 88....I would expect not to have all the issues you have guys...
