when I midi my Krome 88 into my Yamaha MX61 is there an easy way to bring the Yamaha down thru the Krome in dual mode(Yamaha dual mode)

in other words use the Korg as Keys only the Yamaha MX61 as main sound

wanted a MX88 but couldn't afford it but I want to use the Krome to control all the MX61

any suggestions

thanx

Some clarification would be helpful.

What is "Yamaha dual mode"? There is no mention of it in the MX manuals.

What is meant by "bring the Yamaha down thru the Krome"?

Sorry I was thinking of my Roland FA 07 I meant layer mode (piano/string for example) in Yamaha MX 61

I want to use the Korg weighted keys to make the Yamaha MX61 sound via midi but sometimes when in layer mode only the piano plays not the strings I want both activated by the Krome

I'm not familiar with the MX family, but one thing that may be worth bearing in mind is that the 16 so-called Parts forming a Perfomance are each allocated a MIDI channel. Ch1 to Part 1, Ch2 to Part 2 and so on. In a layer, Parts 1 and 2 are used, and by default will respond to different MIDI channels. The Krome MIDI out will normally transmit MIDI on MIDI channel 1 only, so Part 2 on the MX will not respond to the MIDI data from the Krome. It would appear that the MIDI channel allocations on the MX are fixed and cannot be changed. It might be worth asking on a Yamaha forum about controlling the MX from an external MIDI keyboard.

Something like a MIDI Processor might be worth considering:
