Split/layer, crosfades, Song Mode and more!

There are many other welcome additions onboard. The NS3 range now has four keyboard zones per-section instead of the previous three (so you can get more complex splits and layers happening). In addition, you can now cleverly crossfade between split points (so you don’t have to worry about abrupt sound changes). Also, there are now seamless sound transitions, (so no more cutting off sounds or effects when changing patches); these are all massive bonuses for playing live, allowing much smoother and more musical results. Finally, Song mode allows you to place five sounds into Song slots for immediate recall via the five patch buttons – this makes setlist planning and ordering much easier/slicker and using it is a breeze too. And let’s not forget Nord have added a footswitch socket for patch changing too.
