Subject:Nord Stage Software Librarian Online Petition

Hello everybody,
we at the Nord Stage Yahoogroup started an online petition to ask
Clavia to release full Sysex information for your Nord Stage model.
This will allow a group of developers to work on a free Windows and
Macintosh software librarian to edit/store/manage Nord Stage patches.

The petition can be signed online at:

This is the petition manifest:

Dear Clavia,

with the present we kindly ask You to evaluate the possibility of
releasing full SysEx information for Your Nord Stage product.

Our intention is to work on and release a completely free Patch
Manager/Librarian for Your product for both Microsoft Windows and
Apple Macintosh platforms.

We believe it would be very useful for most if not all Nord Stage
users to have the possibility of editing, managing and creating
patches via the Nord Stage Librarian. Ideally, the software interface
would resemble the Nord Stage panel as much as possible in order to
provide on-screen, mouse-powered possibilities for real-time patch
editing.

We believe this application would greatly enhance the vital role the
Nord Stage has in our daily studio and live work. Studio musicians
would be allowed to work on the Stage settings directly on-screen,
therefore accessing its entire sound palette on the fly. Live
musicians would greatly benefit from the possibility of organizing
their sounds and working on them directly via their Laptops.

The Nord Stage has top-notch, excellent sounds for everyday use,
meaning: acoustic and electric pianos, organs and synthesizers. It is
very easy to see how not only this keyboard works great as a stage
instrument but also sustains most of the studio sessions by providing
some of the most important and frequently used sounds in every day
music, regardless of the genre and style.

The developers team may contact Clavia Tech Support should it have
questions, doubts and need for additional details but this will only
be done for the sole purpose of developing said application, make it
fully functional and easy to use. This will always be done in full
respect of Your priorities, availability and agenda.

We hope You find this idea stimulating and productive. There is no
better way for us to prove how much we appreciate what You've done so
far for developing a great musical instrument for musicians all over
the world.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
