Can different zones output to different headphones?

[Gnad]

What I am trying to achieve is kinda like this:

Zone 1: Output only to Headphone 1

Zone 2: Output only to Headphone 2

 

A bit of why: I'm living with my gf, and while the keyboard has split function, only one can practice at a time because the output is the same (we work on separated pieces and they would sound messy together).

 

So if I can practice on zone 1 and run the output to Headphone 1 while the other person practice on zone 2 and output to headphone 2, it'll be truly separated. But I'm not sure this is doable?

I don't think so. But you could "fake it" but making a stage setting that splits the keyboard, one sound to the left, the other to the right. Then make 2 custom cables  - one only uses the left side and the other only uses the right side - but they both take the single side and split it to both sides of the headphone. 

The bummer is the sound would be mono only and the keyboard would be split - you on one side and gf on other.

It would work though....

If we have to go the custom cables route, do you think this cable should work?

I would have to plug my 2 headphones (stereo plug) into the mono jack though. Maybe sound quality would suffer.

Of course on the piano, keyboard must be split, zone 1 panned left and zone 2 panned right.

Wow, that might work. As long as on the female jack side, both sides of the headphones get signal. In the worse case scenario, only one side of the headphones would have sound.
