Hi,
Thomas again.

Seems that this is what you're doing. Keyboard 1 into Spin (in ) and
from Spin (thru ) into keyboard 2, from keyboard 2 (thru ) into
module.

This is what you need to do.

Midi cable from keyboard 1 into Spin (in), then from Spin (thru )
another cable into 2nd keyboard ( in) and then ( here is the magic
moment ) two cables out of keyboard 2, one cable from (out)
transmitting keyboard 2's midi transmissions on your chosen midi
channel, and one cable from (thru ) relaying it's incoming midi
signals ( on its separate midi channel ) from keyboard 1.
These two cables ( out and thru ) are then connected into a midi
merge box, and summed by the computer therein.
Lastly, one midi cable out from the merge box into Micro B 2, and as
we say in the UK, Bob's your uncle, which means, you're cooking.

There ain't no way round getting yourself a merge box when 2 is going
into 1. Occasionally, I believe, some modules do have built in merge
features with 2 midi in sockets but this is not common as it adds to
the production costs and may not ever be used.

The Hammond XM1, which is also 3 midi channel capable, providing for
pedal draws, doesn't feature multi-channel inputs and like the Micro
B 2, will need two merge boxes to handle signals from two keyboards
and a pedalboard.

Regards.

trying to do what you have suggested in your post. I have set the
Micro to "M" and have set the Midi selector to a midi channel that
used the next two adjacent channels.
