New Electro5 Firmware Update 2.04 (24_09_12)

Post by M_a_c »

My SoundManager (WIN10) came up with the Info, that there is a Firmware Update old Electro5 (respect).

I had 2.02 running for long time and wondering, what changed had been done on this (older) product.
Unfortunately the only Info I found is "Windows updater is now bundled with installer for Nord Keyboards USB Driver v4.x".
Does anybody have an info, what had been changed between 2.02 and 2.04?
:welcome:

Strange - out of the sudden my former issue on my WIN11-Laptop and the NordDriver+NordSoundManager, where the NE5 could be found from Windows but not from the SoundManager (no connection possible - I used my WIN10 instead), had solved itself after months yesterday without any new changing or updating anything
:wtf:

I think that is the only change they made. They did this same update for the Wave 2 a while back, only change is adding that driver-

You must be right - but why the change from 2.02 to 2.04 instead of 2.03?
In the end. I´m just glad the Nord system still works and my WIN11 issue is solved also...

Well... Working once with a Product-Management and Development Section, I saw such thing could happen... :facepalm: I guess they just finished 2.03, when an upcomming problem (or just the new Sound Manager) requires 2.04. ... Who knows... I just accept the working solution... And my old NE5 is running on my WIN11 system now... Customer´s happy - goal achieved...

I've never seen a Nord upgrade with an odd number - aren't they always even?

Yes, at least for the Stage series from Stage 2 EX onwards which was my entry point to the Nord world ....

Right, probably because making an upgrade ending with an odd number would... sound odd? :lol:

(Serious, maybe they use odd numbers for internal/test releases and even for official ones :) )

That's exactly what I presume: internal version, official release...

if you don't use windows, is there any reason to upgrade? (i'm always a wee bit skeptical of upgrades on an old device).
