Casiokid Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 MZ-X500 Organ (see photo' attached) comprising of: M-Audio 61 midi controller keyboard, Nord 27 Key Bass Pedals Miditech Merge 4 (to maintain the integrity of the midi 'out' signals as they merge into the Midi 'in' on the back of the MZ-X500 Tones from Upper 1 & 2 and Lower 3 & 4 now selectable from the midi channel selected on the M-Audio. - See Midi Implementation chart in the MZ's manuals (ie CH1 Upper 1, CH2 Upper 2 etc...) The Nord bass pedals are dedicated to channel 3 only, although Roland bass pedals have channel selection which would offer even more scope and versatility ! So I'm now enjoying playing my MZ=X500 as a two manual organ with bass pedals opening up for me a whole new music experience,- with the MZ giving me complete control of what's selected on the controller keyboard and bass pedals in a 'master- slave' set up, -Great ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvano Silva Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 To have an even more real experience I suggest creating a ztn sample of organ for the right hand and for the pedals (like B3 samples) Because MZ-X can only use the features of DRAWBAR to Upper. It's a crazy idea, but I think it's cool. Here in the wind instruments I mix samples with the factory tones and it is very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
