Though still waiting for an ownership manual, I'm very pleased with the overall Stage 4 design so far though some comprises might have been needed. That said, you might as well start a Nord Stage 5 wishlist now
Nord Stage 4 | Nord Stage 3 | SC Prophet T8 | Korg X50... In the past: Nord Stage EX, 2, 2EX | SC Prophet 5, 10 | MiniMoog | Hammond B3 & 122 Leslie | Yamaha DX7IIFD, EX5, CP60 | Hohner D6 | Fender Rhodes | Roland S-50, D-50, XP-50...
My guess for the first couple of NS5 wishes according to what I read so far about the NS4?
- more and expandable memory
- song mode back
- larger display(s)
- full flexible split points
- full multi sample support
- new and improved organ engine, on par with HX3
… prove me wrong.

Guys, this was supposed to be a parody thread.
Nobody outside Sweden has even seen a NS4 yet, and we are already discussing the features of the NS5?
I mean, seriously?

I'm going to wait for the Nord Stage 8EX - that one should have everything, including the ability to read my mind!

I want a NS4EX first! Just as a NS4 with 4GB of Piano memory (or even 3GB, enough); it is unacceptable they skipped the NS 3EX, you cannot kill the "EX" tradition like that...

Nobody skipped the NS4ex. But as the NS4ex is by definition feature stable to the NS4, it's just no use to open a feature request for that.
And to be serious: We'll see if there is a need for a NS4ex or a NS4 Rev.B (more likely in my eyes) or whatever. Clavia has a set of different smaller steps to choose from if necessary.
