Re: List of Nord Stage 3 known issues/bugs
The list is occasionally updated by members of this board as bugs are fixed or new ones show up, and we know Clavia reads it, as they have acknowledged it as a source at least once in an update.

Re: List of Nord Stage 3 known issues/bugs
It is not a common issue, and could maybe be caused by a dial or button that randomly activates. It does not sound like a software/firmware problem.
I would suggest you contact nord support in your country and ask for advice.

My encounters were: (in chronological order, this is what happened over time)
Piano section switches on/off automatically
Organ section automatically turns on
Pad doesn't turn off
at first i thought the problem was with the power source, i tried to transfer my other keys to other power supply and it helped sometime and then it happened again recently. i will take note of your suggestion.

Re: List of Nord Stage 3 known issues/bugs
Hello everyone!
I just registered but I read the Forum with interest for a long time.
I mainly play Rock '70 and I play in a Deep Purple tribute.
I decided to ask for your advice because for years I have had great satisfaction with a nord stage 2.
I had a good purchase proposal and, although I had no intention of selling it, I was very intrigued by the new nord stage 3 ...
However, I read that many users are not completely satisfied, and that the nord stage 3 still has problems. I am concerned that the organs are not as aggressive as in the nord stage 2 ... I wanted a sincere judgment from those of you who made this purchase, because I would not make a mistake.
Some complain of mechanical or display problems. I'm interested in the nord stage 3 compact
Thank you!!!
P.S: sorry for my English

Hi Stormbringer, and welcome to the forums.
As it says in the first post here: "This thread is for documenting bugs with the intent of getting them reported in a way that can be reproduced by Clavia."
Hence, you will have more success discussing this in a separate thread on the forums rather than here in this thread.
You may also search the existing threads here and on the corresponding facebook group for the NS3; there are several very similar questions to yours. Remember to take into account that many people play the NS3 and are very happy with it (myself included) but may not post about it -- which may result in a seemingly higher inclination of people having challenges sharing their dissatisfaction.
For me it seems that many people like the instrument, and a few have some issues they would have liked to see done differently. So it's more a matter of personal preferences.
There is however no way we can tell which group you could belong to -- so the best advice I can give is to go test the instrument somewhere and see whether you like it or not. Complaints about mechanical or display issues do not appear to be predominant, however, so that should not be a reason for not buying the NS3.

Re: List of Nord Stage 3 known issues/bugs
Thank you baekgaard!
I apologize if I have the wrong section of the forum!
My main concern is the saturation and aggressiveness of the organs, which in my musical genre is fundamental. I have heard negative reviews about it.
Anyway I will open a discussion as you advised me
Thanks for your helpful reply

Re: List of Nord Stage 3 known issues/bugs
The following was submitted via the Nord website. I was able to re-create this issue on my NS3-HA88 but not on my NS3C. It would be helpful if someone could try re-creating on a Compact or HP76.
When a note is struck twice in succession on an NS3-HA88, the second note appears to be played at full velocity regardless of how hard it is struck. This applies to both the piano and synth sections.
I was able to re-create by playing C#4 using the White Piano XL or a sine wave in the synth section with Velocity set to 3.
Here is a link to a YouTube video that shows the problem at the 5:10 mark.
The person doing the review is a bit dramatic with an apparent axe to grind with Nord, but it is a good representation of the issue.

Re: List of Nord Stage 3 known issues/bugs
Maybe it has to do with the 3 sensor mechanism (e.g. the 2nd hit happens before the first contact is fully open or something like that?).
Given the way that this behaviour is triggered, I wonder if it is it a problem that kb players encounter often.
