You know, I'm finishing on the same page. I don't think the Stage 3 works as a MIDI controller, bummer. I want a better keybed and I've come to view a lot of the piano library as marginal. The concept of the sound library is nice, I love swapping sounds on the Stage, but a lot of the grand samples have serious problems that just don't appear in Ableton instruments. The more I think about it, the more I'm sure I'm going to order a Lachnit and sell the Stage. Because I can, I guess, but there are a lot of issues here that Clavia just seems to be ignoring.
Edit: I just ordered a Prophet-X and put the Stage 3 up for sale along with my Prophet-rev2/16. It's been a fun few years in Nord land and I wish Clavia well. For what it is, the Stage is a nice instrument, but it's not what I want for my hobby.
