IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A CONTROLLER THAT I CAN MIDI 2 OR MORE KEYBOARDS INTO THAT WILL CHANGE THE PATCHES ON BOTH KEYBOARDS. WHEN LIVE, I HAVE TO SET PATCHES ON BOTH BOARDS, SOMETIMES 2 SETTINGS PER BOARD. THIS MAKES IT HARD TO KEEP THE FLOW WHEN I HAVE TO CHANGE PATCHES. ALMOST AS BAD AS THOSE GUITAR PLAYERS TUNING ALL THE TIME.
IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO SAVE KEYS 1 PATCHES AND KEYS 2 PATCHES TO 1 PRESET ON A DEVICE. ????????

Probably you should use a combi with an EXT or EX2 setting so you can send a program change to the external (slave) keyboard.
Tip: please don't use capitals, it's considered shouting and quite rude. I have therefore briefly read your text instead of reading it carefully (since I don't listen well to shouting).

Re: MIDI CONTROLLER
There used to be devices that would do this, and you can still find them on eBay now and then... like Yamaha MEP4 or Digital Music MX8.
But michelkeijzers has a good suggestion as well... instead of some separate device that can send MIDI program change commands to two keyboards, many keyboards--including these Korgs--have this kind of functionality in them as well. That is, you could create a Combi on the TR that not only changes its own patch assignment, but also sends a Program Change command (or multiple Program Changes on different MIDI channels) to your second keyboard. So you issue a single patch change command on the Korg, and it calls up the patches you want on both the Korg and the second keyboard as well. All you need is a MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of the Korg to the MIDI IN of your second keyboard.
