Re: Nord Wave discontinued!
Looks like this is the end for the nord wave. I was hoping to see the sampler feature in the lead 4 and the bundles feature in the sound manager for the nord wave... well. I bought the last nord wave in my country and i'm very happy with it. Too bad this means that there will be no more updates for this keyboard.
Awesome synth!
i hope to see the bundles feature in the sound manager for the nord wave, it would be a lot easier to manage the programs with this feature!

The Wave hasn't gotten a firmware update for several years now. I agree it would've been really cool if it had gotten an update so the newer sound management features like bundles could be used. Oh well, at least it can still use all the sounds in the sample library.

Re: Nord Wave discontinued!
Curious decision by Nord. I wonder if NL4 sales haven't been good? I've certainly not seen anyone pop up in this forum talking about their new synth.
I have seen people discussing whether to get the NL4 or Wave though - so perhaps Nord were simply looking to sway people away from the Wave by withdrawing it?
The risk now is whether those potential sales turn into NL4 purchases or another brand entirely.

Re: Nord Wave discontinued!
The Wave is a GREAT SYNTH ! And it´s really different from the other keyboards of Nord, it deserves a good update !
I´ve been using it for more than two years now and it´s a big pleasure to play, the keybed feels great and I love to program it.
I say it again, it is a different keyboard, it offers different posibilities than any other keyboard of Nord, so it is unique !

Re: Nord Wave discontinued!
And it would be so easy to satisfy all Wave-Users: simply add more ram
1 Gig would be so great, remembering the growing Nord Sample Lib. I got serious problems to organize that small memory with the very very good - but always large - releases of Sounds...
Let's hope, this beautiful machine is only suspended until NW2..
The NW is the best thing i ever bought.

Re: Nord Wave discontinued!
Hi! I'm a Nord Wave User.
I think the Nord Wave is a great work and I feel unhappy with the discontinued of this model.
Nord Lead 4 doesn't load nord sample library which I appriciate it.
As I am a live performer, I think the NW has two practical disadvantage for me.
The first one is that 49-keys are rather short scale for live performance with both hands.
The second one is NW has two timber of different sounds, but no split function.
To overcome above demerits, I use NW conbined with MIDI keyboard (I always connect with Korg X50) which has 61 keys.
I have carried out two sound split on MIDI keyboard by sending different MIDI channels.
I also can change the bank and program number by MIDI controller as a preset program that are able to store to user's memory.
In addition, I've achived the drawbar effect of Hammond sound by the morph function of NW.
That conbination provides me a great possibility on performance for me, although it is a quite heavy work to bring two keybords on my way to the rehearsal studio by train.
To consider the portability, I do not need keys on NW any more.
So, after the phased out a fad of Nord Lead 4, I hope they will release Nord Wave EX or 2 which has kind of rack module, maybe named Nord Wave EX/2 Rack.
Thank you.
