I decided to MIDI my Roland RD2000(as Master) to my Genos(as slave). I’m using a regular midi cable...out on RD2000 to in on Genos. I’m doing this to be able play on my Genos using a weighted keyboard.
My goal has been to use the keyboard on my RD2000 to control styles on the Genos. Turns out Genos makes that part easy. Just go to chords in the midi section and select the appropriate port.
Thing is, now all 88 keys on my Roland control styles; there is no split on the Roland keyboard which would allow me to play styles on the left side of the Roland keys and individual notes on the right side of the keyboard.
So I’m researching what I can re:midi and the two keyboards I midi’d together. I’m no expert in MIDI but am learning. ...
Hi guitpic1,
in addition to Michael's (Dromeus) tip above, I recommend you to do the following :
- On Genos, select the Preset MIDI template "
All Parts".
- You do NOT need to set anything in "Receive > Chord Detection".
- Press "Exit" to close the MIDI display.
- Make sure that the Roland RD2000 is set to MIDI Transmit Channel
1 (= usually standard).
- Connect the Roland's MIDI Out to the
MIDI B In of the Genos.
- That's it!
With these settings, the Genos will be controlled via
Channel 1 @ MIDI Port 2. This channel is automatically set to the Part "Keyboard" when the template "All Parts" is selected.
P.S.
If you have problems that something is accidentally
switched on the Genos when pressing any buttons on the Roland, you have to filter the MIDI events, either on the Roland at MIDI Out (Transmit) or on the Genos on MIDI In (Receive). If you need details on this, come back here.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
