os 1.42
I have that synth polyphony issue as well. Like it will choose randomly when and which notes should not be played today...
No difference, is there A or B or both switched on, mono or stereo samples (synth section only!).. no difference - bug still on! Sometimes it will play all notes, but mostly not... just double checked - even if i play only four note chord - will be heard 3 notes 4, 3, 4... (polyphony is 32).
I hope They do not have to recall Stages back to factory to change some chips or something..

1) When I had played the Program 1 (1-Ref Es-F-B), then went to preset 2 (2-C Es-F-Gm), the synth ghost notes (probably from preset 1) sounded on preset 2 (randomly, not on every key press).

2) The Program 3 (3-B3 Solo h-d-e) – organ sound created on OS 1.40 sounded on updated OS 1.42 with much lower level (and sounded different, because lower level also means lower distortion etc.). Organ issues happened on every program.

I loaded the Programs and samples and here is what I found (Organ Swell pedal unplugged):

Observations and Thoughts
* I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary, but I will keep playing around with it.

Hope this is helpful. Let me know if I missed anything or if there's something else I can try.
Thank you for your effort.

The issues with OS 1.42 are obviously not the same for all the users, but for me they are unfortunately unacceptable, so I am forced to stay on OS.1.40 which doesn’t have the mentioned problems (except the synth polyphony issue in some cases). I hope that most of the mentioned issues will be fixed as soon as possible in the next update.

Same issue (in some cases) here, already in update 1.40
It helps when i turn both Attack knobs hard left - to minimum (but then the sound is not the same, of course) ...

If the issue can’t be reproduced, then it can’t be addressed and fixed. I couldn’t identify steps to reproduce your issues, so I can’t report anything to Clavia. I’m not saying the issues don’t exist, just that your descriptions didn’t help me to reproduce an error.

If the issue is software related, then it should occur on everyone’s NS3 (assuming no material differences between the 88/76/73 models and revisions).

If Clavia reads this forum, then maybe they can figure out what you are saying, otherwise, you should try contacting them directly through their website if it’s important to you.

I have the same issue with 1.42 but do not know if it is related only to this firmware.
I was on 1.36. So, I will downgrade to 1.36 to compare and upgrade to 1.40, etc.

I have noticed issues with loud random “ghost” synth sounds
by pressing keys in some programs (or songs) without synth part (?!)
and much lower organ volumes in songs with organ parts.

I downgrade to 1.40 and it's OK again – so i stay by OS 1.40.

Anyone experience a similar problems with OS 1.42?

:wtf:
