Nord Stage 4 firmware version 1.10 released

[StuartR]

v1.10 (2023-07-06)
Updates:

Undo. These operations can now be undone using the Undo function:
Effect Group/Section
All FX Off
Paste
Preset Load
Morph clear
Program change (if there was an “E”)
Init functions
Synth Group/Section functions (Arpeggiator, LFO, Filter)
A “Redo” option appears after performing the Undo
Preset MIDI Program Change. Loading Presets now sends Program Change (upon exiting/confirming). Synth uses Bank Select MSB=2, Piano MSB=3 and Organ MSB=4. (Live sends with MSB=1 and Prog MSB=0)
The Layer Init display now has the letter for selected Layer above button.
Added “Sustain+Rotor Toggle” option for Sustain pedal
Fixes:

Aux KB assigned Layers now receive Pitch Bend. Local PBend and Sustped affect these Layers according to their on/off state on panel.
Nord TP-1 pedal could initialize in sustain=on state, at boot or when selected from menu. Fixed
Improvements to handling of Unison and round-robin combinations for samples. Fixed
Middle pedal functions for TP-1 could be triggered (rarely) by the left pedal. Fixed
FX Focus could get out of sync in Solo when switching Layer Scenes. Fixed
"E" could appear for unedited programs when going to Live and back. Fixed
Store view did not visualize Num Pad input. Fixed
MIDI CC and NRPN. When NRPN is off, all affected params act locally
"E" now appears on Paste operations
Del and Ins buttons in Store As text input now have repeat functionality when pressed down
Output Routing mono modes for Rotary Speaker were not always correct for the two seamless parts. Fixed
Pressing Drawbar "Sync" (Shift+Preset) after boot could use wrong drawbar settings. Fixed
Prog Level function (Sound menu) did not always handle Level morphs correctly. Fixed
Various other fixes

Too bad, just tested it and they fixed my most concerning issue with output routing... but... while testing the patches of my setlist, I got a crash...
As I have a gig on Saturday, just reverted to 1.08... at least I am used to the output routing issue and have a workaround when it happens...
Can't wait the next update... hopefully more stable...

Anyone have a copy of 1.08 firmware. My Stage 4 Is unusable using 1.10. My screen keeps freezing up.

My guess is that they'll come up with a fix in no time. This is too big a problem to make users wait too long for the new firmware. It has happened in the past, that in matter of days, a new firmware was released, addressing problems introduced by the previous one.

This is most unfortunate and I fear they may have rushed this update out partially in response to the complaints that they shipped a product months before a documented function (Undo) was even implemented.

Now we wait for a fix to the fix as it were.

If the crash you're seeing is reproducible, could you please open a support case ASAP? If you can share the steps to cause a crash, I'll be happy to open a case myself.

I can now confirm the crash myself. Just scrolling through the list of my custom programs will cause a crash. I just opened a case with U.S. support.

Just modify the 1.10 link in 1.08 and you can still get it.

1.10 has been removed, they are back to 1.08 in the download section on the website.

Strange that such a serious problem was not detected before releasing 1.10, quality control seems to get worse

So they DO read this forum after all!
