NS4 Wish List for Future Stage 4 OS Updates

Post by WannitBBBad »

The Google sheet NS4 Issues/Bugs List has been posted with a tab for entering features that users believe could be implemented as an OS update. This post isn't intended to capture items like "add a port to load samples directly from a USB drive" that would tend to be next-generation ideas, but what we think is practical within the OS update realm.

The comments below should be restricted to mention of what you have added to the Google sheet and a link to the related post where your NS4 feature is discussed.

Request for Posting:
To keep this post readable,
a) read what's listed to avoid posting duplicate items,
b) if you have a feature you think others would support,
- post your idea separately to the Forum to discuss pros/cons and possibly enhancements,
- enter it on the Google sheet NS4 Issues/Bugs List with the link to your post,
- post a short description below of what you entered along with a link to your post where the feature was discussed,
c) if you want to comment on a feature below, go to the link where the feature is discussed and provide your comment there.
Thank you!

See posting examples below:

Song Mode
Enable Song Mode capability with an OS upgrade.
nord-stage-forum-f3/stage-4-song-mode-t23367.html

Leslie Reverb
Provide an option at the Program level to set Leslie Pre or Post-Reverb
nord-stage-forum-f3/post-leslie-reverb-t23728.html

Fader Operation
Provide a global option to allow the faders to "jump" or "catch".

Hammond B3 1' Drawbar
Provide a global or preset-level option to cancel the 1' drawbar when touch percussion is enabled.
Link: Too many to count

NS4 Glide-Portamento
Compared to the NS3 the maximum glide duration is very short. Add a preset-level or global option to extend the duration.

I will scan the current forum comments for additional ideas that appear to have some momentum. Take care

External Output
The ability to control 3 synth sounds + 3 external sounds from the synth section.

Improved Leslie Sim
Improved Leslie SIM with the sound/features of the Neo Vent with the ability to add reverb pre/post so I don't have to haul my vent II and hall of fame reverb pedals around.

1. Rotor toggle for sustain pedal. Can’t believe it’s not already implemented.

2. Dual oscillator configurations that were in the stage 3 and a1.

4) Solve the LED issue under the Shift-Init synth
What's that LED below the button supposed to show? The keep edits status? Does keep edits even work?
EDIT: consulted the manual again, you have to keep the button pressed while switching samples

Additionally
- show categories in program list mode
- add list mode to preset lybrary
- undo doesn't work at all?
