Subject:Re: An XK-3 / XLK MIDI question.

The MIDI settings are on pg's 86 and 87. Just set #2 Master MIDI IN
to IN 1/IN 2 and make sure that what you want to use as a separate
upper manual sends on the same channel that Keyboard Channel (#10) is
set on. In fact if you want the notes to trigger a little deeper,
turn local control off (#3), run a MIDI cable from the MIDI out to
MIDI in 1 and turn Percussion Velocity (pg. 67 #6) on. Also, make
sure an external zone is on the correct channel and the low and high
notes are set (pg. 84, #'s 6,7 and 8). This will cause the XK-3 to
think it is being controlled by a separate keyboard. Since the XK-3
sends velocity data but doesn't use it itself, the note on signal
that is sent out the out is from the second sensor that is involved
in detecting velocity.

impression is that the MIDI in ports are set up to go quite
specifically to pedal or to lower manual and there is not a MIDI in
available or even reprogramable to play the XK-3 "upper manual" from
another controller. I just searched my XK-3 and manual yesterday and
didn't come up with it. Of course that doesn't quite prove it can't
be done!
