Hi Fred, I hope everything is fine at home.

I am not familiar with the DSR1, but I assume it is similar to the 
controller in my Upright.
I am also confident that some one else will help us with the 
detailed instructions, anyway as a fast answer:

If you have your DSR1 manual better, look for the set up of 
the "piano part",
I don't have my manual ready available now, so from memory

It can be configured as channel 1&2, channel 1 (or any other), none, 
or "program")

It seems that yours is configured "program", this means that 
any "piano like" program will be sent to the DKV, so change it to a 
single MIDI channel. (I prefer channel 1)

After that, only events for MIDI channel 1 will be sent to the DKV, 
all other channels will play from the sound module, so you will have 
all the "other" electronics pianos available in any MIDI channel 
different from 1.
