I'm sequencing bass and pads on the NL3 using Pyramid and playing a lead sound live over the groove. The bass and pads are very minimal maybe max 5 voices with the pad tails. Yet I'm getting the worst voice stealing, even with only the mono bass by itself it gets cut off so easily, often as soon as I hit the first key. (And I'm not using chord mode, so ruled that out)
Can anyone help please, this is so disappointing.

Re: Nord Lead 3 voice stealing
The MIDI engine seems buggy when playing live over an external sequence. I've had various similar versions of this problem too. I figured its just an NL3 thing... its probably the buggiest Nord. They were way over their head making it.

Re: Nord Lead 3 voice stealing
I found a workaround. It happens when Local = On. Setting it to Off and enabling THRU on Pyramid made the voice stealing go away. I just hope doing this doesn't have any downsides as I prefer to work with Local = On to ensure that my gear functions normally when playing it. (For example Local = Off with echo-back wreaks havoc on Machinedrum's usability.)
EDIT: Yeah, I hate Local Off, worst idea ever. Because now when NL3 is at a jam and I try to use the performances I use for songs I'll have to turn it on to make any sound.
EDIT 2: Argh! This means I'll have to use Local Off with all my other gear too!
