To Clavia: if you are reading this, please make the Stage 3 capable of receiving Program Change messages not only on the Global MIDI channel but also on the Panels' channels... a heartfelt

Indeed ! if and by chance you decide to double the 400 programs slots to 800, that would be more than welcome ! (400 is really small number...)

Is that sarcastic?

Has there been any discussion on the forum about the change in the Vox drawbar configuration for the Stage 3? I’m very disappointed in the change from drawbars 8&9 controlling sine way and sawtooth waveforms respectively, to drawbar 8 doing NOTHING and drawbar 9 doing sine OR sawtooth waveform. Not only does this make the Vox model less true to the original, but it seems to make it impossible to faithfully recreate some of the great patches in the Vox/Farfisa patch bank for the Stage EX. I WISH Nord would put the sine wave back on drawbar 8 and return drawbar 9 to sawtooth-only for the Vox model. Does this change bother anyone else?

By the way, have you checked the Program bundle for the Vox and the Farfisa by Barry Carson? They're excellent.
The problem is that they seem to have removed the bundle for the Stage 3 and only left it for the C1 and C2 series.

I am sure there was a Stage 3 version as well. I know because I had downloaded that a while ago, but I can't find it now on the Nord website...

It's still there, but seems to be hidden - you can find it if you use a similar trick like for accessing older OS versions

Here it is:

Great! I wonder why hiding the link by Nord's side though...

Yes, so do I

I also had it downloaded - in Aug. 2020. But how the heck do you, Schorsch, remember download addresses from months ago? I wouldn't even had known I had that bundle.

[Schorsch]

I haven’t remembered it - I just looked at the download address of both the C2D version download in the post of Hlaalu and then checked the address of other Stage 3 download libraries, then just exchanged the product specific part of the C2D address to the ones of the Stage 3 addresses

Even more strange is that the Vox/Farfisa library is still “officially” available for the Stage 2 / Stage 2 EX as I just saw. The disappearance of the link for the Stage 3 might be a mistake rather than being removed deliberately

It's still accessible, as you said it looks more like a mistake in the menu (entry lost while adding other libraries)

Yeah, I posted the link as well earlier today (see a few posts above
