Dude.
You’re talking about an MKS-70.
Might as well complain about the Stage 3 (or any other existing synth) being inadequate at reproducing a Memorymoog, or a CS-80.
Nope, its still the MKS -80.
( I know what you mean, but as always its disered to have all in one))

This is not true at all in my opinion.

Here is a quick patch for you. You can tweak it to taste for your band.
Does it have the panache attack of the Roland? no. Does it use any samples? No (not sure why you are opposed to this, as it is a powerful part of the NS3 Synth engine). Will any audience care about the difference? I doubt it.
Thanks for help anyway, but Nord is miles away from what it shoud sound like proper Synth Brass))
P.S. But people do care what it sounds like, at least in my band.
I have got proper "Final " Brass on my Motif xs, and some samples made on Jx8P, but my aim was to use just NS 3 Synth section without samples.
Cheers to all!

FWIW, Joey Tempest mentioned that they used ELEVEN synths for the original „Final Countdown“, so I’m not sure it counts against the Stage 3 to need samples to get there.

Yes agree - people DO care also when my band is playing, both the audience and the band mates (especially our drummer ....)

.. which are both sample based like the NS3 will have to be as well for this, the Nord Stage does not compare to a synth engine like a Jupiter-8 provides.
