NS3 Wishlist

Postby peterkeys88 » 02 Nov 2017, 09:34

I've had an NS1, NSEX, NS2, NS2EX, and now upgraded to an NS3. Big fan, but these 3 feature omissions bug the heck out of me. I'd love to see them implemented someday, then they could really compete with the Workstation crowd IMO.

CHROMATIC SPLITS: the ability to split the keyboard at notes other than just F and C. With the new OLED, this seems like it could be implemented in software maybe?
ADSR: You can either pluck, or sustain, but you can't have a pluck that has some sustain with the Stage ADR's.
Pitch LFO: A pitch LFO per program, not limited to Global.

I hear you, but this can be at least partially worked around by layering the same sound twice on panels A and B with different envelopes. Of course, that doesn't work if you need a different synth sound on the other panel.

What do you mean with "Pitch LFO" ?

And another allready asked : Ability to have reverb AFTER the rotary effect, like Stage 1&2

When you assign aftertouch or the mod wheel to vibrato in the synth section, it uses an extra triangle-wave LFO that is set globally and applies to all synth patches (where enabled).

I’ve never found this limiting, myself - the solution is a very musical one, and it’s actually kind of an extra. But I can understand if people would like it adjustable per patch.

Yes! In the Nord Stage 2 this was programmable per program. It would be nice to have this functionality in the Stage 3 as well.

Btw, is this an open wishlist? If so:

Bring back Dual KB as it was before v1.24!

I also think it would be really, really nice to be able to set MIDI in channel for each part (organ A/B, piano A/B, synth A/B), like in the Stage 2... I used this quite a lot, and hardly ever used Dual KB. Now Dual KB is the closest we get to this...

And please - let the swell pedal control both Organ A and B, even when organ B is played from another keyboard, in Dual KB mode. How often do you see a Hammond player using two different swell pedals...? ok, I know it's pretty common for pipe organs, but NOT Hammonds (not counting Model G and similar).

On the Stage 2, the swell pedal has an impact of both organ right? Organ on Slot A and Slot B, even in dual Kbd...It 's not the same on the Stage 3?

OK, it's the vibrato speed for me ;)
So, +1 too

Correct, but if you use the Panel B MIDI option instead, the Swell pedal works just like that. So with the NS3, you have both options available :-) Maybe it's the same for the NS2?

Addition to the wishlist (maybe not possible for NS3 but for the next generation): ability to route the organ through the synth section as an additional sound source like waves and samples
Regards Schorsch

Want to convert programs between NS2 and NS3?
Check this awesome website to visually view NS2/3 programs and re-create them on the other instrument!
