Hi,

If you could have just ONE new/improved feature on new NS4 what would it be?

To me it would clearly be better ”Audio in”: chance to route Audio in (from aux in or even from USB audio) to NS4 engine. It could be optional oscillator in synth section. (And also getting rid of this f***in 3.5mm stereo connector)

USB Audio? which one?

Their flagship keyboard that is supposed to have everything the other Nords have and has a flagship price, but the triple pedal isn't included in the price. That is insulting, the Piano 5 and Grand including the triple pedal why not the Stage???

This is a complete misconception.

The Stage has always incorporated the best or most important features of all the individual lines, but it has NEVER been as fully featured or as good at them as the specialised product lines.

Ever, in its entire history.

Velocity Layers. All other quibbles are secondary, this is a big elephant in the room.

Are you sure you don't actually pay for it in the Piano5 and Grand price? I don't think so... anyway, as analogika also wrote, Nord Stage has never included the triple pedal, it has always been an optional accessory, in line with the NS being less piano-focused than NP/NG as a product.

Sounds like it's time for that to change.

They will not give it for free anyway, so I still prefer to be free to decide if to buy it or not, considering that on NS4 you can also use the continuous Nord Sustain Pedal 2 and that many keyboard players would not need the triple.

I got a triple pedal with my Stage 2 in 2014. I’ve used it maybe ten times in total, since then.
