The rumour mill says it's probably going to be a new synth. This is wholly premature and based only.on this video, but the large LCD screen and lot of potentiometers does point that way, as the other instruments don't have that.
Trumpet player by trade, but fell in love with keys too.

... the green LED strip may indicate something like the Electro HP drawbars, doesn't it?

 

Except all prior LED 8 segment strips have been red.

 

Also, there appears to be a green LED close to the keybed. That matches prior Stage & Electro (not Lead) split points.

Yes, a green led value strip - similar to the button controlled drawbars.

Stage 4? Another Electro likely. But those would be on the left of the LCD.

 

Then again, color of the LCD looks like a Wave.

 

I don"t know this is a very different panel layout.

Reverse image? Something new?

The psychologist Erikk Nordjisfjordst has chronicled the 7 stages of pre-NAMM thought processes in the typical Nord user as follows:

 

1) TPAS (Pre-Teaser Anticipation Syndrome). Though you dare not talk about it for fear of (further) ridicule, you secretly hope that December will bring another of those cryptic cupcakes, the new Nord teaser.

 

2) EXKITEMENT! The teaser arrives! It reveals absolutely nothing except that the new keyboard will be red, with lots of lights and buttons. You post on your favorite keyboard forum, but only in a faux-breezy manner, ashamed to show your true level of enthusiasm.

 

3) Fantasmagorical Hope. As the teaser is nothing but a Rorshach test for the Nordist's (somewhat stunted, from years of playing Nords) imagination, you envision all the features you've ever wanted: new filters and routings, an improved Leslie sim, quadrupled sample capacity, and unlimited split points. All of them packaged into one keyboard, the ELEADSTAGRO! And miracle of miracles, it costs less than a VR09!

 

4) PANIK! as you realize you're just kidding yourself. It will cost more than 5 VR09s, and you haven't budgeted for buying a new Nord every year. Nobody could! Time to try to sell the CP4 you've been gigging with because prefer the piano action over anything Nord has ever done. And maybe someone will buy your hamster.

 

5) Anger and Resentment, as you see your teaser post becoming the subject of ridicule on Keyboard Corner by people cruelly implying that you'll buy anything as long as its red.

 

6) More Anger and Resentment, as more information and leaks show that the new Nord is only an incremental improvement over an existing one.

 

7) Acceptance and resignation. Based on nibbles you've received on Craigslist for the hamster, you pre-order the new Nord. You also buy a new rolling case for the CP4 that you will continue to gig with for the forseeable future.
