I received my NS in late September last year, fresh from factory, I think. It was shipped with 1.04. Same when I got my Lead A1 2-3 years after release, also with an old OS onboard.
Product coming off the assembly line at NORD will have the latest version of the OS available at the time of the build.
Normally production are doing in batch. Not everything need to be done at the factory.
They might have a bunch of prefabricated cards on their shelves with installed OS from when they was produced on. As long as they do not have found any hardware issue on this card related to the production, they are installed as they are together with the rest of the keyboard, the keyboard are getting tested by their regular test procedure ( and I think the Mod wheel on the Compact model will receive extra attention, hopefully a modification on that part have been done).
Well, it are not fresh milk, so it will not go out on date, but freshly assembled, with latest system check, but still can be with an older OS onboard.cgrafx wrote: have a NS3C I just purchased and is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday of next week. My hope is that it will have v1.36 on it, but If it arrives with anything older than v1.32 (2017-12-15) I will send it back.
But lets see when your unit show up, I doubt there are old warehouse inventory you receive.
