what do you think abou NORD to implement the split feature on ELECTRO 4?
It will be possible? why not?

Hej Pcarrilho!
SW would be no problem? But is there a free HW switch/button to be used for that?
Marketing-wise, on the other hand, it would be no good?

NE4 has a lot of switch that can be used (SHIFT + some switch)
I am nor happy with NORD, because i buy my NE4 some weeks before NAMM
I think the NE4 "Life" was to short....

True. Doesn't make a lot of sense adding new features to an older product line so it competes with the new one (E5)... Clavia have to pay the rent somehow, and bacon* only goes so far...

I'd have to think the hardware issue is beyond whether or not there is a button.. Adding multitimbrality likely needed some other hardware changes in the way the circuitry is laid out.
I also bought my NE4 just before namm. I love it so much it is hard to care what's in the new one, after the initial shock wore off

Cowfunk is correct about that. It is not possible to simply wave a magic wand, or issue a new OS, which will suddenly allow the existing hardware of the NE4 to do these new tricks. Adding those new tricks would necessarily involve a complete re-engineering of the instrument, which is what the NE5 is. Another step in the natural evolution.
