NORD STAGE 4 officially announced for February 16th 2023

[MartinJ2EX]

Has anyone who has a Stage 4 already tried to load in some of the Piano Library Pianos that are version 5.4 or 5.3 or older?
Stage 4 npno in the restore file all are 6.0 or higher…
Thx!

Still getting to know the NS473HA.

On the after-touch:
1. Requires a lot of pressure - so much that it's pretty mush unusable. Also worried I'll damage something.
2. Also can't find anything in the menus on AT sensitivity.
3. Doesn't seem to work on the black notes?

Any NS4HA owners who can confirm any of the above?

And any NS3 owners seen similar on their NS3s?

Thank you!

I own a Nord Stage 3C, and the aftertouch is a little stiffer. Though when playing organ parts upper half of the keys with lower half different select synth or piano and needing aftertouch for the organ because I don't wanna take my hands off the lower part. I most of the time don't mind it because when I really get into a select organ part or solo playing harder. Then I don't want the rotor to keep engaging! I also believe after time the springs loosen a little. So you may find the aftertouch to soften up a bit after time...
So there may be some pros & cons to what Nords users like... I would believe the Stage 4c would be similar to the 3c
with water fall keys... Best wishes...

>Has anyone who has a Stage 4 already<

Is there such a creature, other than the handful of Nord musicians who are on their website?

Sure there are, just a few (also looking at posts on the FB group) but there are, look at the quote in the post above yours for example

Anyone hear word of when these will start to be available in the US? My Sweetwater rep said July!
I have another music store owner who said after NAMM

That's what they told me too (July).

Lucky you! Must have been the only (maybe intended for showroom usage) model since Böke shows no availability for any of the Stage 4 models anymore

I think they deliver to customers who have pre-ordered and at the end nothing was left for the stock. I ordered the NS4C at Musik-Produktiv on the release date. A week ago they assumed end of March as delivery date. Hopefully it will not postponed.
