Latest panel version is v2.3. I have a post following the progression. viewtopic.php?t=23569doctorkeys wrote: ↑29 Dec 2024, 04:59 What is the newest version of the Stage 4 as of 12/28/24?
Can older versions be brought up to date by updating the o.s. and how difficult is that process?
Thanks in advance.

I can‘t agree. I own a Stage 4, Panel Version 1.4 and OS is updated to 1.46.
From that same thread, did you try the below?hughes wrote: ↑29 Dec 2024, 15:43I can‘t agree. I own a Stage 4, Panel Version 1.4 and OS is updated to 1.46.
The Leslie „Close mic“ function, as introduced with panel 2.1 Rev B (I think), is still not available via any botton and not storeable with each single patch. This Parameter is still global.

The actual Manual 1.4x does not describe the behavior of the Stage 4 Panel Version 1.4, probably 2.1 Rev A and earlier.
Please tell me if I‘m wrong. Many thanks.

When new button features (shift +) were added to the Stage 3, they worked on mine even though the labeling wasn't there.MartinJ2EX wrote: ↑17 Oct 2024, 15:28....Only real difference is the “close mic” function in RevB and the poly percussion for the B3.
This could easily be accessible via some shift function in RevA, but I guess Nord won’t do it because of the missing labeling. Probably not a real hardware change for these features..
then i stand corrected on the close mic function. everything else I stated though is still correct, you can load and run the latest NS4 firmware on any NS4 panel release.hughes wrote: ↑29 Dec 2024, 15:43I can‘t agree. I own a Stage 4, Panel Version 1.4 and OS is updated to 1.46.

OK (so bad it doesn't work), if the difference is just a label and a led should not be so difficult for Nord to implement it somehow..., anyway, it is what it is at least so far, maybe it is worth sharing your failed attempts also on that other thread (?)hughes wrote: ↑29 Dec 2024, 20:00 @maxpiano
Many thanks.
Yes I tried it with every OS update. I tried it with shift-funktion, holding the knob long and by changing the global parameter and saving the patch, but it didn‘t work.
We will see if an upcoming OS Version will bring this function for older Stage 4 Panels to enable the same performance to all Panel variations.
