Wow, that's disappointing... I kind of forgot and/or ignored that the Stage 3 does not let you play 6 different sounds on 6 different MIDI channels. It's only two MIDI channels, as per the settings for MIDI, right?
Global Channel
Layer A channel
Layer B channel
Dual KB channel
So it's literally.... 2 channels at the same time... and only that? What happened to the Stage 3 being a "Master Keyboard" (as in, say... you have a 6-member keyboard band.... their gear is: one Nord Stage that one person plays, and 5 other people using MIDI controllers (with standard MIDI DIN out) MIDI'd to it, playing 6 different parts... Rhodes, Wurly, Grand (the person playing the Nord keybed), Upright, Sawtooth synth and Mellotron? Is this no longer possible with the Stage 3?
Hell, I might sell my Stage 3 and go for an Electro 5 and a digital piano connected via MIDI to it.... Electro 5 is 2 sounds on two different MIDI channels, right? Like Piano and Synth, or Organ and Synth, or Piano and Organ? I only mainly use the Sample Synth (tweaking it basic) and the Piano Library in my Stage 3. Wonder if I should just get rid of it and downgrade, at least for my needs...
