That could be a huge deal breaker for me if so. My setup has a Roland FC-300 for changing programs on my Korg SV-1 and in Mainstage. I assumed that the Nord could be integrated into this setup with no problem.
You can send absolute Program Changes (indicatong the exact program you want to select) but there is no MIDI CC to send a "Program up/down" which is a relative command (go to 1 Program up/down from the current one).
So, unless the pedalboard has some logic to handle the relative increment/decrement of the Program Changes generated by itself, you can't replace the function of the up/down double switch.
But also the SV1 can't handle program up/down so the NS3 in your setup should work just "as usual".
Ah yes, I wasn't thinking. Even though the FC-300 is sending out all CC messages I have Mainstage converting those messages to program changes going to the SV-1 from an external instrument channel strip. As you said, it should work the same with the NS3, but it's still sending direct program change messages instead of the "up/down" scheme.
