No idea about silent notes, never tested them. No issues with repeated notes (3rd sensor) that I would have remarked.

I'm quite sure, though, that you can't get correct pedal noise from a remote pedal. Which, of course, is a bummer. Should test it again.
Thanks FZiegler! Pedal noise is not important for what I would need it for. I never used a second keyboard to control parts of the NS3, need to try out the best way to deal with it like which mode to be used, and also specifically in terms of pedals connected to either the NS3 or SL keyboard etc.

Hi,

another question for which I could not find any ionformation in the docs from Studiologic: does anyone know if the Studiologic SL masterkeyboards have a MIDI through function, so that all MIDI data from the MIDI IN port are routed to the MIDI OUT ports (or one of them)?

Yes they have, it is a Zone parameter, search for MERGE in the manuals at https://studiologic-music.com/support/sl_keyboards/

Thanks for your input. Interesting rig in your photo.Who makes the stand? I’m looking for something similar - X-stands don’t allow enough space for pedals + I like the laptop bracket.

Honesty I love using my Casio Privia PX360 as a controller for my Nord Stage. Great weighted action, lightweight, inexpensive, and even has speakers you can plug the Nord into for practicing!
