Now that Electro 7 features a full ADSR envelope, it gives me hope that v2.0 might bring that to Stage 4.
Same here, one cannot know if it is something they are looking into.
Nord lists the synth section as "Amp and Filter/FM ADR/ASR envelopes" that's not ADSR.

Please ADD Sustain MIDI on off A B C in EXTERNAL SETTINGS.
Its been 2 years since release and this was done on all previous models in different fashion.

Now we have:
ModWheel MIDI
Afertouch MIDI
Ctrl Pedal MIDI ( not working )
Swell Pedal MIDI
Volume Pedal MIDI ( can't turn it off )
Send on load

ADD Sustain MIDI for god sake please. :thanks: :keyboard: :thumbup:

1. Init for each engine activates that engine with default settings. Init All either everything off or basic setting for each.

2. Aftertouch morph for rotary only seems to morph slow to fast. Should be able to choose

3. Allow us to preset timbre for piano defaults. I know not all have each setting, but if it is available, use a default we choose. Don’t like having to turn on bright. Probably should be per list.

4. +1 to toggle leslie w sustain switch

5. Double tap cycle through split point count. Needing to use a menu to turn on/off splitpoint zones was a step backward

Hi all! I have a Stage 4 since few weeks, and I literally adore this thing, it meets almost all my desiderata and "playing" feeling, it's very inspiring, so quick in creating soounds etc etc... you all know. I just wish I had discovered this before, without spending money in other gear... BUT: there's only one thing that I miss, and it's a STEP SEQUENCER:
my wish is that Nord will implement a PITCH PAGE in the pattern mode, to me it seems so simple and straightforward: add a pitch page to pattern edit, with the possibility to set semitones offset for each step (maybe possible also via keyboard, but it's not strictly necessary). The combinations of the arpeggiator and the other patterns parameters will be endless.
With this simple add (at least seems simple to me), the Stage 4 will become perfect to me.
(oh, obviously the same applies to the Wave2)

Hoping costs nothing, who knows


Andrea
