I'm starting to really wish we could change the curve of the Velocity on the Filter section.

It feels like it has a really large velocity range when using the Filter envelope and I wish I could constrain it a bit or just have a little more control over it.

Not that it will do anything, but I did open a ticket with Support asking why there has not been a Wave 2 update in 6 months. They are putting out updates for much older keyboards. The Wave 2 is relatively new and there has not been an update since last October. I sent the link to Martin's Wish List for the Wave 2 as well. I hope they do not abandon the NW2-

I think the pandemic really screwed up the Wave 2 release since it’s primarily a live performance board. That, and the resurgence of a focus on vintage synths, since everyone is just tinkering around at home. I hope by the end of this year they really push it again as people are gearing up for live shows.

I still believe it suffers a bit of an identity issue that I have a hard time putting my finger on, but I’m still enjoying it and will be using it at a gig this Saturday.

I’m really hoping for a big update soon tho.

Hmm …. there was a significant focus on the Wave 2 for quite a period of time, and efforts to fix issues or add functionalities for other keyboards had been on hold / in the waiting line. I think it’s time now to make up some ground for these ….

Maybe they are focusing on the new stage (3EX or 4) in order to have it ready for release when the pandemic ends and gigs fire up again. this scenario together with the low number of clavia's employees, could be an explanation for not updating the wave yet.

This is what I'm hoping for! I'd love to finally update my Stage 1 as it has seen better days. Tempted to just go for the 3, but that came out back in 2017.

Till then, we have DOMi rockin some Wave 2 and the Piano 5 today :) granted it's just a basic wave patch but hey! it's getting used :lol:
