NO, because you only have 2 Synth sections

Hi. Reading the manual should help a lot. It's not that long and well written. It tells you both to handle the existing sound engines and the split capabilities.

A Nord Stage 3 rather works this way round: You create a sound element in one of the engines and assign it to an existing keyboard section. Rather this than the other way round.

So, how many engines do you have? 1 organ, 1 piano, 1 synth (+ 1 external) engine per panel, and you have 2 panels: A and B. Unless you use tricks (create a sample containing multiple sounds spread over the keyboard within one sample), there aren't more than 2 synth engines.

In practice, an organ engine can play a similar role to a synth engine.
