Using KROME Piano with other Keyboard (MIDI)

Hi folks!

My new KROME 73 just arrived and i love it, what i do not love, however, is the key feeling

I'm thinking about using my Krome live to play all types of sounds, normally, BUT playing the piano patch using another keyboard

How can i do it via MIDI?

I've read that i have to send the piano patch to one of the 16 midi channels and using the other sounds in the other channels.. but what i do not understand is that, do i have to be always in COMBI mode to do that?

Is there a way to send Piano via one determined channel in the background and use the keyboard normally while doing it?

Afaik using Combi mode is the only way.

It will initially take some work to make the combis (setting piano to MIDI channel 2 probably) and the rest to MIDI channel 1, but later you will have many benefits, since in combi mode you can do a lot more than in program mode (splits, layers, setting volumes easily, eq-ing, combining effects, giving names according to the song name etc).

Oh i see

Yeah, i know the capabilities of the combi mode, michelkeijzers, but i'm more the "oh, here goes the chorus of this common song, lets use a organ sound, and the outro... mmm, a good ep would do" type of guy

Rarely ill use a "song patch/combi", just for some classic and "must play like this" songs

Thank you for the info
