Hey guys,
I am trying to build a Setup, let's say of two zones, zone one - Piano - is the local keyboard (the PC3K), the second zone - Organ - should be played by an external midi controller on top of my PC3K (a Novation Impulse 49). I have troubles.
First of all I had difficulties to make my second key (always transmitting on channel 1) play exactly that zone, having whichever channel (more problems if a want to play two zones with the external keyboard). I guess this is done by the local keyboard channel, right?
Second, and that's my main problem, I have an issue with transpose. I always play in C major, so I transpose every zone I have accordingly to each song, semi-tones but also octaves. So let's say zone two has a transpose set to +2. When I now play my Novation Impulse, it always plays the original keys and does NOT transpose. Seems transpose only works for the internal keyboard... I'm kinda lost but need a solution as I do NOT want to program my other keyboard, my PC3K is causing me troubles enough 
Could someone of you help me on how to do that?
Hi,
maybe my question was unprecise or stupid.
I managed to set the Local Keyboard Channel to One, which is the one my Novation is sending. Problem solved.
Now one simpler question:
I want to play one zone with my PC3K and another one (or multiple ones) with my external Midi Controller. How can I do that?
- How can I make my setup play one zone triggered by the external MIDI controller, and NOT triggered by the PC3K (silent when I play on the PC3K).
- Vice versa: how can I make my external MIDI controller be silent while I play the PC3K
No matter what I do (change input channels, change Destination) both keys play either the same or nothing (LocalKbdChn=1). I go crazy and got a gig on Saturday, so PLEASE HELP ME!
If you use a setup you give every sound an extra channel, up to 16.
So your external device has to send the channel your sound is located on.
Use your piano at channel 1 and your local keyboard assigned to channel 1 too, so you can play piano with your local keyboard.
Assign organ to channel 2 and send at channel 2 with your external device (don't know, if you can reroute the channels inside your kurzweil, I'm new with kurzweil), so it will play your organ.
And I don't know if your transposing is working, maybe the sending device has to transpose, because of note-to-play-information?
Maybe someone can help here better, sorry.
