AFAIK, Nord has never stated whether a rev can or cannot denote changes having nothing to do with the front panel, so that seems like supposition. And if revs never refer to such changes (instead of or in addition to front panel changes), how do you explain the revs in which nobody has been able to identify any change to the panels?cgrafx wrote: ↑09 Jun 2025, 08:27 The revs pretty much all relate to physical changes on the panels. Any change to internal functionality would be done with OS updates and would be available to all revs, with the rare but notable exceptions where functionality was added that specifically requires the button layout change to make it accessible.
Companies *do* sometimes make running changes to various components. Maybe they do it to fix issues, or to enable a new feature, or to address part availability from a supplier, whatever. Sometimes the change is publicized, sometimes not but people can still find out because there is some difference that can somehow be noticed, or because the companies later come out with an update which only applies to units with specific serial numbers, or a service center gets a note that a repair/adjustment may be done differently depending on whether the unit is above or below a certain serial number, that kind of thing. It is not at all unheard of, and there's certainly a reasonable possibility that Nord sometimes makes such internal running changes as well. If Nord chooses to denote a manufacturing change with a new printed rev instead of tracking their versions by serial number, why would you assume that the rev change can only possibly refer to changes in buttons/labels, and would be precluded from being used to refer to any other, less obvious change? Especially, again, when sometimes people fail to find any external visual change between one rev and another?
