Ive got a Virus TI KB, usually running in single patch mode. I've got a Nord Lead 3 Rack connected to it via the MIDI thru. The Nord sits nicely on top of the big blank area of the Virus TI KB.
The Virus MIDI in/out runs to an Edirol UM-880 on port 8. Port 8 is set up to loop MIDI back to itself, so using the Virus keyboard, if I select global channel 1, both the Virus and the Nord trigger just fine.
MIDI: UM-880 <---in/out---> Virus ---thru---> Nord
Audio: Mixer <------ Virus <------ Nord
The problem is, I want the Virus to respond on MIDI channel 1 and the Nord on MIDI channel 2. Since there doesn't seem to be a way to separate the TX from RX channel on the Virus, itll always receive on the channel it transmits on, which wont work for this setup.
On top of that, I run the audio from the Nord into the audio ins on the Virus. So, simply setting both instruments to channel 1 and turning the volume down on the Virus wont work...
