Nord Electro 7 - Update History

OS v1.20 (2026-06-17)

  • Significant improvements to Program load times
  • UI updates for both Analog and FM Edit modes.
    • Analog:
      • First page has Osc A and B settings, which are now both selected using main dial based on focus, and Semi+Detune
      • Second page is Oscillator Mix
      • Pages 3-4 are the envelopes
      • Page 5 is Filter including Drive and KB Trk
    • FM:
      • Partial control (Resonance/FM Part) on panel is now inactive in FM mode, i.e. it no longer selects partial for FM modulators.
      • First page of Edit View now contains Algorithm selection, "static" FM Amount and Drive
      • Second page contains all Operator ratio settings
      • Third page is Env Amounts, feedback and balance
      • Pages 4-6 are envelopes and tracking settings
      • The Keyboard Tracking page has a new UI
  • Improvements to how organ sounds behave on program load
  • Added SuperSaw to Analog menu for Osc A. For the SuperSaw, Osc B including Semi and Mix settings are disabled.
  • Vibrato, KB Split and other context menus are now stacked on top of e.g. Preset Load and Synth Edit modes, meaning that Shift does not Exit to program root, but to previous display
  • Filter Freq and FM Amount parameters are now separated to avoid Analog Filter often being closed when switching FM->Analog
  • Push dials now have a guard against unwanted dial turns following shortly after button press
  • Long press no longer exits menus such as Vibrato or PStick, but is only used to enter them
  • Wrong FM algorithm was shown in main display, for certain FM algorithms
  • Clearing a Wheel or Pedal assignment for the Mod 1 effect would not actually disable the wheel/pedal control (depending on selected effect and targeted parameter). Fixed
  • Clearing Ped/Whl assignment for Wah Rate would cause the Wah to stay in “static” mode, rather than A-wah mode. Fixed
  • Using Sustain Pedal with MIDI loop and local control On caused hanging notes. Fixed
  • Wheel Morphs created on 73 model were not properly disabled on 61 model. Fixed
  • Live Mode button is now disabled when menus are open.
  • Piano and Sample Not Found messages are now shown as intended when a sound is missing from stored program
  • Shift button now exits back to category list from sample/preset list, rather than directly to program screen
  • Filter frequency display in Synth Edit page system would show wrong frequency, until freq was edited. Fixed
  • Changing FM partial caused brief interruption in sound. Fixed
  • Env Amt had no hint on Shift/Monitor. Fixed
  • Improvements to Program List view in Cat mode

OS v1.14 (2026-05-11)

  • Mono Output setting in System menu did not function as expected. Fixed
  • Level control for Organ section did not function properly on 61 key version (introduced with v1.10). Fixed

OS v1.10 (2026-04-27)

  • First public OS release
