Is it possible to use a triton midi out into a midi keyboard? For example can I use a triton as the brain for a midi keyboard. Like if I put it in Combi mode and made an extension keyboard of 86+ keys using the midi keyboard. Sorry if it sounds complicated. I am just curious to not have to buy another keyboard for space and instead by and midi keyboard to incorporate with my Triton.

You should be able toe extend your range with a second keyboard as long as it is set up to send the note/on off for the lower octaves.

That's just a case of running a MIDI OUT of the controller board to the MIDI IN of your triton, which I'm guessing is a 61 key board.

Do be aware that playing the same notes with both boards will probably result in a "hung" note as the note off message gets lost or garbled -- you want to make sure there is no overlap (or minimal) and that you keep the ranges played separate. The only cure for a hung note is to cycle power or buy a "panic button" black box.

Above solution is just to extend the board to your hypothetical 86+ keys.

For that you don't have to set up anything special. The program or combination will react properly to the incoming notes as if they were part of the triton's keyboard.

To have your midi controller play a sound different from what the triton's keyboard is playing is slightly more complex.

For that you'd need to set your midi controller's channel to 4 or higher; most preset combis use only 1, 2 and 3.

Then, within a combination, set up a matching channel [so, e.g., channel 4 on the controller and a track assigned to channel 4 within the combi) with the desired sound.

Same-note issues should not be a factor because all of the MIDI data stream is channel 4 - it hits only the voice you've set up and no others.
