midi setup ->2 keyboards

Hi!

Before anything I would like to apologize for possible writing errors.

I have one korg m50 and one kurzweil sp2. I successfully connected both using a midi cable and can play the sp2 with the m50 sounds.

But I would like to set 2 sounds in the m50, and 2 different sounds in the sp2.

For example: m50 spliting strings and hammond, sp2 spliting bass and piano.

Is this possible? thanks to everyone who can help-me

It it possible. On the M50 create a combi with 2 timbres. Set the key zones for each of the timbres how you want the keyboard split. Use the same midi channel for both timbres.

I'm not familiar with how to setup the sp2 but create a split in a similar manner and it should all work.

Ok, thanks for the answer.
Is possible manage sounds of both keyboards through the M50 panel? Maybe something like put the SP2 in slave mode, and the M50 in master, making use of this midi channels? And decide in the M50 panel 2 sounds to SP2, and 2 other sounds to play in the M50.
I could see something like 'EXT' in the M50, but i don't know how this works exactly. I think the manual isn't so clear about this.

In Combi mode you can have up to 16 timbres. So, you can create two separate keyboard splits - each one containing two sounds. One for the M50, one for the SP2.

The keyboard split for the M50 can use (for example) MIDI Channel 1, with defined ranges on the keyboard (left & right) for each sound.

The keyboard split for the SP2 can use (for example) MIDI Channel 2, with defined ranges on the keyboard (left & right) for each sound. In this example you would make sure that the M50 is transmitting MIDI to the SP 2 on Channel 2 and that the SP2 is set up to receive information on Channel 2.

Voilà: You now have two keyboard splits, one for each board with a total of four sounds.
