Please help if possible!

I am using an 88 key weighted controller keyboard via MIDI to my Nord Stage 3 Compact.

My NS3 is controlling Slot B, and the controller keyboard is controlling Slot A. My sustain pedal is connected to the NS3 only, as I want it to use it sustain both keyboards at the same time (for live gigging purposes)

The sustain is only working for the NS3, so it is not sending the sustain to the other keyboard (on MIDI slot A).

I have been using the NS2 to do this exact thing for years, but having an issue getting it to work with the new NS3

Also, will it be possible to migrate programmes from NS2 to NS3 at some point in the future?

The manual seems pretty clear that you can’t do this. It seems that it’s intended behavior. For that reason, I’m using two sustain pedals with my NS3+External controller rig.

However, there’s currently a bug with that setup. If I’m sustaining on the external board’s pedal, releasing the sustain pedal that’s plugged into the Nord will stop the external controller’s instrument from sustaining. I do not think that is intended behavior. It’s been added to the spreadsheet of possible bugs.

No.
