Nord User Forum

I’m going to vote a new synth, as well. The sound in the video seems to indicate it. Also, that would be the one instrument that I think is due, because the release of the Lead 4 and A1 have been a while.

Let me guess - A new Nord Lead with 61 keys (and split) and OLED display

Good deduction.

But the depth of the panel seems smaller than the Nord Lead usual format.
Maybe an A2 ?

I'm guessing NL5. The Lead is due for an update.

this is a teaser, it's a bugger when you can't see and all there is is the noise I can only describe as an owl farting in the fog impersonating white noise meets traffic lol. please let it be a new stage, if not that then a new and sexy synth

Three rows of knobs plus some space for the display and buttons is exactly the size of the Lead panel.

It definitely looks too small for a stage piano, even if the split points and LED strip make it look like it. And Clavia's stage piano line is already packed, with the Electros and Stage and Piano and now the new Grand.

So yeah, it really may be a new synth with features completely new to the Lead line. I'm totally not include the market for any synth right now, but I'm definitely VERY curious.

I had a dream about a new Nord Synth 1-2 weeks ago...

Theoretically, the release cycle of the Stage line could bring a new Stage 3 EX in 2020...
But this teaser doesn't show a layout that is similar to a Stage or Electro...

2015 - Electro 5
2018 - Electro 6
2021 - Electro 7 (?)

2005 - Stage
2008 - Stage EX
2011 - Stage 2
2015 - Stage 2 EX
2017 - Stage 3
2020/2021 - Stage 3 EX (?)
2023 - Stage 4 (?)

The Lead series has a much more inconsistent release cycle...
I'd love to see a new Nord Synth with Sample capabilities - that would be great alongside Sample Editor 3
Nord Lead S1 / Nord Lead A2s

The never-ending excitement about new Nord Keyboards

This Looks interesting,hopefully this will be something to add to the Lead Synth series,To my eyes it doesnt look like any Stage model as the panel looks too shallow and more in line size wise to the Synth models

It Would be nice if they made an update to the Modular Series or perhaps an update to the Wave line,those Bargraph Leds,could be input level meters,so perhaps a Wave 2 with on board sampling option,and the fact it appears to have split point Leds too,may suggest they have updated the Wave Model because a lot of users wanted to be able to split the two layers which you can't do with the Original Wave.

January 16 is the day where we will know what's going on

No matter what it will be - to me it is almost sure, that:

- it will have at least 61 one keys because of the split LEDs
- it is no Stage 3 EX because of the completely different layout

Taking this into account, likeliness is high, that we will see a new synth with 61 keys - hurray

BTW: do you think the teaser is the christmas gift, or will there be more...
