Combi split MIDI question

I have 2 keyboards midi'd together. I have a split on the upper keyboard and a split on the lower keyboard. The splits are on the same note. One keyboard is a Triton, the other is a Kronos.

Is it possible to have one side of the split send or receive midi and not the other? I use organ/horns on one and lead synth/horns on the other one, and I would like to double the horns, but not the other sounds.

I have not tried anything in SEQ mode yet. Any ideas?

just adjust the keyboard range (split point) of whatever sound you don't want playing across the entire board. Is the Kronos the source of all the sounds?

I do this all the time. I use Combis. I'll have my top board (a Prophet 12) triggering multiple horn parts (from the kronos) in the upper range and the lower part doing a synth bass, all while the bottom board (the kronos) is playing something completely different. The trick isn't to disable the sending of midi, it's to filter out on the receiving side (by adjusting the key ranges of the individual Timbre slots). To me, that's the easiest way to go about it.

I have done that before when I had enough octaves to work with, but this time all the sounds I use need all of their part (lower half) of the keyboard. I guess I will try using seq mode so I can try using different midi channels. It is interesting that you can set a sound to only be played from an external source, yet you can't have a sound (or portion of the keyboard) not make an external source play.

You can set the keyzone of the sound on the receiving synth though?
