yes, I DOWNLOADED the NS3 manual and looked for that specific info, it said NOTHING about any kind of that type of Leslie setting. I was very disappointed. (STILL no support for half moon on 76 or 88... DOUBLE BUMMER.

I notice from the manual that the functionality of assigning a midi channel to each instrument (for example organ/piano/synth on each slot, 6 parts), is missing? This would reduce the multitimbral functionality to just the 2 panels/slots?

so... no latch?

Number 11? Welcome to the forum!

Wouldn't the middle pedal of the 'triple pedal' do that?

Oops, that's an unexpexted leap back. For what reason? This ruins my plans for this keyboard as a central point in my keyboard setup. When placing a pre order I did not expect these kind of "upgrades". In all other aspects I am very curious about the Stage3 and I can't wait to get more information about the Sample library 3.0.

Any other reactions to this?

On the manual in the overview section I found this:
So the piano category Layer is mentioned officially.

They layer category is visible in the panel photos...

Here are piano layers described in the manual. I hope these piano samples will be available for the older models.

If this is true (and not an oversight in the manual) it is a horrible decision. This would prevent me from upgrading.

Not unlike the stupid decision that Yamaha made when crippling the Montage MIDI implementation. After using 3 generations of Motif-based synths, it forced my upgrade path to Kronos.
