I've got an RD-700NX which I want to use together with an additional non-weighted MIDI keyboard and a Roland XV-2020 module. I want to use the other keyboard:
1. To play some RD-700 sounds e.g. organ.
2. To play some sounds on the XV-2020.
I have connected as follows:
Ext keyboard MIDI out to XV-2020 MIDI IN
XV-2020 MIDI THRU to RD-700 MIDI IN
RD-700 PART set to16 PART.
I was planning to be able to set the ext keyboard to transmit on Chan 1 if I wanted it to play RD-700 sounds and to another channel - say 16 - to play sounds on the XV-2020.
The problem is that, no matter what channel the ext keyboard is set to, the RD-700 plays a sound.
How do I set the RD-700 to not react to one or more of the incoming MIDI channels?
Thanks

I haven't done this, but you could try Utility -> Song function -> Part Switch, and see if that does anything. Or you can set up the controller to send a CC to set volume to zero. Or use a Live Set with one layer disabled, etc.

Thanks a lot. Utility -> Song function -> Part Switch and unchecking Ch 16 works like a dream.
One small thing... When you power the system off it loses that setting. Is there any way of saving it?
Thanks again.
