Please an A2 with L4 user interface, no stupid limitations (like global vibrato), proper keybed (TP9 at best, TP8 is okay) and a proper display. Would be an insta buy.

why not merge the A1 and 4 together, include full sample handling from the wave, full tactile interface for better control and creativity. 5 octave keyboard would be nice.

still, let's see what comes. I hear with interest what others say from descriptions of the "teaser video" but we'll have to wait a few weeks. still, time will tell.

I'm almost on board with some of the people suggesting other models, like a Mini or a Vocoder. I personally doubt it's mini because of the splits and the likelihood of 61-key, but this layout would be one hell of a departure from the Leads that always have the screen on the left. Something so obviously centrally-mounted is the main screen, and I liked the suggestion of the green LEDs being an input meter. Although it's odd that it should be so fully lit in a demo video.

It would be interesting to see Nord produce a true analog synth at some point

Would that really be interesting? I don't see analog synths being in Nord DNA and/or Nord having the know-how in house for that type of development, they never designed any analog keyboard so far, they always produced DSP-based instruments.

I was going to go and buy a NS3-88 this weekend. I think I’ll wait now.

Why wait, It is highly doubted that the new instrument would be a new version of the Stage 3 and as such is more considered to be a synth to replace the lead series current builds. If this is the case, we have the stage 3 for some further time. I would highly recommend you consider buying the stage 3-88, I rely on mine heavily and wouldn't be without it. so much so, today it's just had it's new studio furniture for the grand and stage 3.

Looks quite obviously like a Stage. It has the OLED screens in the exact place as the Stage 3.

well, if it is, we'll see. As much as I'm excited by the potential of it, I'm reserving judgement.
