"SOUND Menu" difference between NS4 compact & 73
Hi,
I've noticed that the "Leslie Mic Distance" option in SOUND doesn't exist on the NS4 73, but exists on the Compact. Is it normal ?

It may also be due to different panel versions.

Maybe not just panel but HW Revion then, one could be a Rev A: can you post pics of both versions (text near FX secton)?

Ok I understand, there is a new "Close Mic" led in the rotary section. I didn't see it.
Also, I can't listen any big difference with the new "Poly" button of the Organ section.
Anyone has an idea about it ?

Poly is to make the Organ percussion polyphonic (i.e. triggered not just on first note/mono but on every new key press, even if other keys are kept pressed) which was a hardware mod on the real thing. See latest NS4 manual, page 20
