Hello! I have the following problem. I want a cool splitted combination as follows: I need a cool athmosphere sound on the left hand, which I want to sound continuously without keeping the keys held down, because I want a cool lead synth on the right hand, for which I require to control the joystick with my left. So I only want to use the left hand for the athmo sound when the chords change. Problem is: I tried to use the "Hold"- Function in program mode for making athmos sound continuously, and they do so, but they dont stop sounding when I change the chords. So imagine I want to play a lead tune with joystick to an E Minor chord on the left, and when I change the chord to A, the E keeps sounding aswell cos of the hold function which is anoying. Hope you can understand the prob...

Second problem is: Imagine I want to use the pitch bender for the lead sound to sound cool, but I dont want it to apply to the athmo sound, so I turned off the joysticks for the athmo sound in combi -> midi filter, but it still changes the pitch for both the athmo and the lead when playing.

Tried to explain the best I could, appreciate any help, best regards

You could use your damper pedal for your athmo sound and turn it of for your leadsound in the midifilter. If you turned of the pitch bend for the athmo sound and it still doesn't work, perhaps you could change bend value to 0 in the program? But still its weird the pitch bend does its job when its not asked to do it.

thx for your help. Setting the pitch bend to 0 for each voice did the trick, tho it's kinda poor the midifilter didn't work. As for the damper pedal it was also my idea and it works, but I would appreciate if it worked the easy way, I'm thinking of Jordan Rudess who uses those Athmo quite frequently and changed chords via hitting new keys so there should be a way I didn't keep in mind....

Maybe you could use arrpegiator for what you want to do...

You can program arrpegiator to sustain max lengths notes in slowest beat possible and assign it to left-hand-sound; strip pitch bend modulation from that sound to be sure it's not modulated with modulation sources. Arrpegiators have latch function which enables the tone generator to continue sounding after you remove your hand from the keyboard.

This way you can have continuous sound on the left side and do what ever you want to do in real time with lead sound on the right.

Thx I'm gonna try that
