EP1 sounds much better on my NS3 Compact, especially in higher register above C4. It was it's biggest shortcoming. But EP4 MK5 now sounds a bit dull, doesn't respond as well as previous version. Anybody else noticed that as well?

I've now replaced EP1 through 8 on my board with the largest version of each of these new samples. I love the sounds, but even more I love the Dyno 1 and 2 'filters' (which seem to have some dynamics and overdrive to them too - or am I imagining this?).

Interestingly, my NS3 Compact board is actually silk-screened for Dyno 1 and Dyno 2 instead of the "brill / treb / soft" markings indicated in the manual and shown online in the images. Is that new or is that what everybody has and the images / manuals are referring only to some pre-release version?

My NS3 88 also has Dyno 1 and Dyno 2 on the silkscreen. Bought it a few weeks ago, can't see manufactured date on it though so don't know how old it really is.

EDIT: added a picture of the piano section with Dyno 1 and Dyno 2.

I heard about these dedicated filters for the rhodes long ago so i guess it´s been in the making for quite some time..

There seem to have been some changes around this functionality/button.
If you look on the Nord site and look at one of the three pictures on the right it shows the layout as I have (I've got mine pre-ordered so quite early version).
Then check the picture with the OLED-screen on it, the left bottom shows the piano-equalizer but there it's different from the other pictures.
The following statement is not true. The previous statement is true.
