Hi there,
When using an LFO waveform with edges, such as square, sample and hold, or even down
saw tooth to modulate the filter frequency, the edges don't seem to be as sharp as in the NS 2. That rounded edge would be nice if it was an option, but if it's not, I would rather have
the sharp version.
Just check out my two examples below and tell me what you think. ,https://www.dropbox.com/s/4b25425zw5vin ... erLFOs.zip
Cheers,

Hello! The master clock on my stage 3 does not sync with incoming midi clock messages through the usb. Before the latest update of v1.36 it would work fine and automatically sync with incoming clocks. Now after the update I can clearly see the metronome coming in from the midi led on the keyboard but the master clock no longer automatically syncs anymore. Anybody else has this problem?

Found a couple of big MIDI problems and omissions from NS3:
* Sending Program Change via MIDI is now only possible through the Global Channel, whereas on the NS2 this could be done via the Slot/Panel. If using the NS3 with an external board eg. Korg Kronos, they must be set to the same MIDI channel, which massively limits the MIDI capabilities
* Organ can only be sent to outputs 3+4 WITHOUT the rotary speaker, whereas on NS2 it was possible to send to outputs 3+4 WITH the rotary speaker. This option was particularly useful for separating the organ through a different output, but the Organ sounds pretty awful without the rotary speaker!

Anyone had a weird static burst of sound happen before? Has happened intermittently today on my Stage 3 HA88 with OS v1.36, usually would disappear straight away but then got stuck on (as shown in the video below). Appeared to only be affecting the Piano panel; fixed with off & on again

Hi, have you noticed any improvements with the 1.36 update? I still have the following problems:
1- if I use slot B in dual kB mode, the swell pedal does not work, it does not send midi parameters to the connected keyboard and destined to slot B, if I play the organ section directly on the NS 3, the Shell pedal works correctly. Pedal CTRL (EXpression) does not work, either in dual KB or directly on NS3.
2- Problem of MIDI controls: MIDI CC 11 Ctrl Pedal (expression) and all effects controls from MIDI CC from 82 to MIDI CC 119 (enable 1, type eff1, source eff.1, quantity eff.1, eff.1 rate, eff 2 Type, etc. .. etc. .. etc. Do not work, NS3 does not receive the midi controls assigned by the midi keyboard in which it is connected?

Hello everyone, did you notice that from version 1.36 do you hear the detachment of the sound when switching from one program to another?

Well, seamless is great, I just wish it would work in a smarter way.
If your goal is to alternate between two sounds, typically a pad and a piano, or a pad and a flute, the pad would hold when you switch to the second sound, that's good, but then, when you finished playing your second sound and switch back to the first one, it would abruptly cut. I imagine that seamless could not hold more than two programs and so, it is holding the most recent one to the next one, but there should be an exception if you just want to alternate between two programs.

Hi,
when my NS3 is connected, the sample editor doesn´t work.
It works only if the NS2 is connected. Has anybody an idea to solve the probelm?

Do you have the latest version of the Sample Editor installed?
