Bi-timbral sound over midi
Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2022 4:23 pm
I am wanting to connect a midi keyboard to the Grandstage to control a second sound, say a brass section, while the main board plays organ.
Maybe I misunderstood the manual, but it reads like you can set a channel for the ensemble sound (brass) and have the GS play the main sound (organ).
I connected a Roland A800 pro but I am yet to get it to play the GS whatever I set it to.
I realise this is likely a setting on the Roland I need to change, but from playing the GS with the ensemble set to channel 2, I am getting both sounds playing simultaneously.
Is my goal here realistic? There are a lot of sounds (and polyphony) in the GS, it seems a real wasted opportunity if i cant play one sound from an external keyboard and one locally….
