Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] controlling SD-1 from another keyboard

2012-04-23 by jammie

omni off then the keyboard will not trigger the vfx but will send out midi information
its the same for any synth if you dont want to trigger the internal sounds from the keyboard
as its best for external sequencing as if you play the keyboard while recieving the sequence you will get double notes

Subject: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] controlling SD-1 from another keyboard

My basic performance rig is the SD-1, and a Roland VK-8M Hammond clone controlled by a 45 key midi-controller keyboard. What I would like to do is use the keyboard of the SD-1 to control the VK-8M only, and control everything on the SD-1 with a larger external controller (76 or 88 key) since i use the pianos primarily. This seems to work if i set an individual piano program to midi-in. Is there anyway to set this globally so all the programs on the SD-1 play from the external keyboard, and the SD-1's keyboard plays none (except for the VK-8M)? I have poked around the Musicians Manual but Im rather dyslexic when it comes to midi.
