I don't expect to see any further updates for the Wave 2. They have their hands full with the Stage 4 issues-

..but why at all a new FW version for "Windows updater is now bundled with installer for Nord Keyboards USB Driver v4.x"?
...and why would they then also release a FW 1.24 for MAC...
..but maybe I'm just too dense to understand it...
Has anyone of you installed the new FW 1.24?
Perhaps they have also made other small tweaks without mentioning it
(I know - that's wishful thinking)

I had a dream...
The fact that they created a new “FW” / an updater that includes the USB driver (Windows) suggests that they will release more updates in the future, because why would they do that if there are no plans to do so.
They could have left it as it was.
My dream also told me, and the fact that the NS4 synth engine (which is a W2 engine) was updated some time ago, that they will port/bake this into a new NW2 FW (and maybe some other whislist topics(like vibrato layer sync)...) once they have worked through their other backlogs.

(...still waiting on my NW2...)

Maybe just to avoid too many support requests, opened just because some people "forget" (i.e. don't read the instructions) to download and install the USB driver before doing their first OS update?

Very good point!

..but I will keep on dreaming... :)

I am also hoping that they will update the wave 2 to include the improvements that were added to the stage 4. It seems like this would not be difficult to do.

Just curious, to which improvements do you refer?
