It's nice to see you all getting a shout out for your efforts! Great work !

I was going to post that, too! Great to see them give credit, and to know that they’re watching us.

Here the full patch notes:

Nord Stage 3 - Update History
v1.12 (2017-09-20)

New features:
A new menu option was added for Output Routing, in the System menu: For each Panel one sound engine can now be routed independently. This is done by setting “Sub” to either Org, Pno or Syn and “Dest” (Destination) to 1+2, 3+4, 3 or 4. Note: The output of the Rotary effect is always routed to outputs 1+2.
Dual KB mode now has options for addressing either all of Panel B, or only one of its sections. This is done by keeping Dual KB pressed down and selecting the appropriate setting (Panel, Organ, Piano or Synth) using the dial.
Programs can now be given a category when stored
List views for Synth Presets, Programs and Pianos were changed. Pressing the "Cat" soft button lets you select one category, and browse only those sounds.
Pressing Shift+Sound Init now gives two options: Init or Clear Name, which clears the Synth Preset name from the stored program.

General:
Boot time for the NS3 was significantly improved
Volume setting for Swell pedal had no effect. Fixed
The instrument would not boot with certain types of continuous sustain pedals attached. Fixed.
“Dirty” flag (asterisk) for altered Program would disappear when switching Panels. Fixed
Level controls for each section (Organ, Piano, Synth) now have a finer degree of detail while turning at a slower rate.
Split cross-fades (Split Width) had no effect on Clav, Harpsi, Digital and Layer Piano sounds. Fixed.
Osc Ctrl and Drawbar display representations are now more responsive.
When using Global Transpose and KB Split the split point would be offset by transpose value. Fixed.

MIDI:
MSB (CC#0) Bank Change values for targeting Programs, Songs or Synth Presets have been changed. Use MSB 0 for targeting Program mode, MSB 1 for Song Mode and MSB 2 for Synth Presets.
Receiving a Program Change message without fully specified Bank Change data will change Program or Song depending on current panel mode
Addressing the NS3 Compact model over MIDI did not give access to the entire range. Fixed.
Sustain values for Pedal Noise are now sent correctly over MIDI.
MIDI Local Off is now WYSIWYH (what you see is what you hear), panel LEDs and displays show state of sound engines at all times
Latency could be introduced in sent MIDI when using NS3 as controller. Fixed.
Note Off Velocity was always 127. Fixed.
On-panel Transpose would have no effect on sent MIDI (with “Transpose MIDI at” set to "Out"). Fixed.

Extern:
Sustain pedal values are now sent correctly by the Extern section.
Extern section did not send MIDI when Local was set to Off. Fixed
Extern Send on load feature would not always send the stored values. Fixed
Sustain Off (0) was not sent after Extern section had been disabled.

Effects:
The Compressor effect can now be used for sounds going through the Rotary Speaker.
Changing Delay Filter type no longer silences the Delay signal.
Long Delay tails are handled better (quicker fade-out) when switching Programs in seamless mode
The Chorus effect had low output level. Fixed

Wow - big update.

Hoping my NS388 shows up soon.

Kudos to Nord, but as stated, this was expected. Always bugs with new products, and fixes are always added after. Seen a lot of hate here and on other forums for the Stage 3 due to the bugs. Hoping this update silences some of the (undeserved) hate.

Good job for the update !

...but still flange/phase active even at 0 amount ...chorus / vibe ok ...( without hate :- )

Thanks Nord for this update..

.. i think the category button does not work at all...
.. i think vintage 1 mode for organ has no effect (same as 1.04)

Thanks

Awesome, can't wait to finish programming my sets and finally bring this beauty with me on stage

Thanks Nord! <3

I don't have a problem with the bugs as long as they fix all they can fix. I've been on their side, I understand (not of music, but of software in general). There's always a list of bugs you want to fix and bugs you can live with for a little while. Go read the saga of the Dave Smith Tempest in the DSI forums. They updated it until they ran out of processor and code space.

The only bug I'm worried about right now is the one keeping the boat full of NS3s from reaching North America!
