I see. I'm thinking how it would be difficult to implement that. It's like this also in other nords?

Indeed, it means what you think!
and that's a feature that I'd like to have.

I was thinking about doing the same thing with my NS2

The "extern" section of the NS, in particular, is quite capable of controlling all sorts of external midi devices. Every time I think I'm outgrowing the NS3, I discover a new useful thing that sets back my new gear horizon. Right now, I'm learning to run lighting effects from its control surface -- it's that flexible.
With all your positive feedbacks about it, I'll try get my hands on a NS3C too.
I had only a brief experience with the "Extern" section on my NS2, maybe it's time to give it another look...

Good to know, but it felt stuck as in "firmware stuck". LCD was stuck on a temporary indication of some parameter that I can't remember, button and keys didn't do anything. I think a good cleaning wouldn't be bad anyway!
