Hey guys,
I have just bought a NS3. Its an amazing thing (even though I am right now pretty salty about the preset incompatibilty).
I am missing one, for me very important, feature.
On my NS2 I was able to play an arpeggio on a synth, then assign it to no region by pushing shift and the on/off button. So it was unplayable, but still tweakable.
Then I could play over that with a piano and the other synth and still tweak that synth.
Now it doesn't seem to do work anymore and I cannot think about a workaround.
Any ideas?
Thank you, J

Hi. What do you mean "tweakable"? If the NS2 synth section is switched off then it is not active (all LEDs off).
Also in my NS2, "shift+on/off button" (the section on/off) is no different than then on/off button alone. Or am I missing something?

Re: "Synth off, but still on" Setting
Can you try this, please:
Let the synth play an arpeggio with the hold function. Then press shift and the on/off of the synth.
That changes the region the synth is assigned t (if there is a split). On mine I have a step in there where its not assigned but still playing (all leds off for the regions - all other leds in the synth section on).
I made a video demonstrating it, but its in german.
So just skip to 0:50 and you'll see what I mean.

Mh, I found one workaround now. It is not as elegant and holds some danger to mess it up when zoning out though.
Woraround: I made a split for the very last half octave and when the arp is set, I ban it on that one.

Oh, I see, not switch off the synth, but reassign the split. Interesting, I was not aware it was possible.

Yes! I think it is actually quite a powerful feature, because you can have a drone/an arp there that you can still tweak, while playing something different without having a split to think about. Or let midi play only that synth region but still you could tweak and play something different on top.
I mean, it works with sacrificing one split region somehow.

Just tried to do this on the NS3 - it's not possible I think the NS3 lost the ability doing what you did here because it no longer features dedicated INSTRUMENT MIDI channels, this must connected somehow.
Viele Grüße, Alex

Yeah, I found that out too and asked Clavia now if they could change it.
I hope its not connected. And holy moly, I just found out that its not possible anymore to assign midi channels to instruments. That was such a cool feature too.
