Curious to know about NS2ex programs-> Can be imported on the NS3?
Or will we need to re-program everything?

@ JoniKlein
He sais: "I will be tomorrow at Musicmess, nothing you want me to check?"
YES, Absolutely, you can check for me, Stage 3 HA same as Piano 3, if no, differences?
Then, Kawai MP11 and PVC1, all with in mind difficult and fast classical piano pieces. Real difference with Nord satge 3 and which kawai you prefer?
Thanks in Advance
Sincerely

1.) Please check how seamless the transitions are.

2.) And as the four BANK Buttons are missing now and the former PAGE buttons are now labeled BANK - how easy is it now (how many keystrokes needed?) to access sounds (without using the new SONG feature).

3.) What exactly is meant by "Creative Filter presets" und "Layer category" - the new features of the piano section?

Tausend Dank schonmal, Grüße, Alex

From the demo you posted, it seems like it's a feature similar to MainStage's, where a section can "spill over" into the neighboring one if you overshoot, without having to reprogram the splits.

Good questions. The layer category intrigues me.

I'd also like to hear more about what these "extended morph destinations" include.

Considering that this has never been possible across generations, and that the new board has a different effects structure and morph matrix, as well as completely different synth engine and a new piano category...

Some more questions for Joni (thanks!):

In the organ section, does the percussion button finally trigger percussion when you engage it while already holding down some keys? (There might be a system setting for this.)

Does the stage 3 organ finally have an option to mute the topmost drawbar when percussion is engaged?

Not quite my understanding, you're mixing things up here: What the video shows is "Extended Split functionality with optional Crossfade", which is indeed similar to Mainstage's split "spill over" (what do they call it really?) feature.

However "Seamless transitions when changing programs" should be exactly what they called it ;-)

Hello,

Thank you for asking :)

I wonder if, among the Piano Filters, there is some filters that would make piano sounds EQ less "acid", feeling less medium and medium high - boosted, especially in the octaves around C5 ?

Thanks again

Alex

Just out of interest: Why would you need this feature?
