Namm 2026 will nord show breakthrough instruments??

What do you think, will Nord finally show some new instruments or will it just be a slight refresh of the old models?

[cphollis]

Not sure what you mean by "breakthrough instruments". Keyboards have been around for quite a while, no?

I would expect a refreshed Electro as (a) the Legend One is becoming pretty popular in that segment, and (b) there are new organ models and more from the just-released Nord Organ 3.

My expectation from Nord is incremental improvements of existing products with each new release. Works for me!

We will find out in about three weeks from now. Happy New Year all!

Electro 7 I would imagine...

[Tracii]

I think a Nord Electro 7 will be announced this year. I believe you can actually check this quite well by simply typing in www.nordelectro7.com — it redirects you to the Nord website.
If you do the same with www.nordelectro8.com, you don’t get anywhere; the link doesn’t work at all. And if you try www.nordwave3.com, you also end up nowhere — that link doesn’t work either.
Now comes a bold theory: I think a Nord Stage 5 will also be released this year, because when you type www.nordstage5.com, you are redirected to the Nord website as well.
You have to know that when the new Stage 4 was released back then, there was a dedicated website called www.nordstage4.com. Nowadays, when you enter that address, it naturally redirects you to the Nord website and the product page of the Nord Stage 4.
So things are getting exciting. A bold theory — we’ll see.

Wow. Cool finding, could become true.
Let's see!

Perfect timing for Nord Electro 6/7 marketing for the kids

(I’ll leave myself out…)

Quite an interesting discovery there. I did not know that all Nord product names would redirect to the official site. However, nordelectro6.com and nordwave2.com seem to do nothing. So this may not be a foolproof method...but very interesting! If a Stage 5 came out already I imagine it would be due to the new organ, but surely there's more than that.

I‘m sorry to crush your hopes, but nordstage5.com was registered at the same time as nordstage4.com - nord simply planned ahead…
Just check here:

Nord just recently started improving Stage 4 firmware with pre-fader reverb/delay via Global mode, I‘m hoping this is just the beginning (fixes to MIDI extern mode…) and I guess they are not done with Stage 4 quite yet.
