There is an other thing a want to add here.

The NS3 synth has a dedicated button for key velocity that you can enable in multiple steps. This allows for more expressive playing and is a good improvement over the NS2 synth, which has only vel on/off. Many people said that the velocity range in the NS2 synth is too limited. This is not a problem anymore with the NS3 :)

Agree with what has been said already.
I've been busy "copying" sounds from my NS2 to NS3 and can mostly make it sound as good in 1 panel in NS3 which were 2 panels in NS2.
I could even lose some (brass) samples because I have much more options for it now (second osc and if needed a 2nd panel).

So having owned the NS1, NS2 and now NS3 I can safely say that the synth (as a section) has improved the most.
Not to downplay the other sections but those are more "natural" progressions IMHO.
The following statement is not true. The previous statement is true.

After 2 weeks, I found the synth part very powerfull, and you don't need a A1 with the NS3.

If you have a Nordmodular G2 too, you don't need a NL4 too. The G2 can control the morph groups (Ctrl ped or AT) with his LFOs via midi and I can also have a A1 with 1+2 LFO (or more on other cc if I need), and it results very huge sounds ! I'm using the G2 sequencer on NS3 sounds too. I'm definitly in love with the G2 !

Now, waiting for bugfix to use my NS3 in the real world.
Actual synth: Nord Modular G2 - Nord Stage 3 73 - Virus Ti2 - Peak - Prophet 6
Before: Nord Lead 3 & 4, Stage 1&2, Wave, Virus C, DSI Tetra, P12, and few others...
