very sound advice..... I didn't buy the casio as a one man band device, at the time I was playing in a different band and needed some organ sounds plus piano sounds for soul music but rarely together, so the Casio served me very well for those purposes and it was great to have the Rotary sound and the manual drawbars for that style of play for the price of the WK-7600. But as things have evolved I guess I'm playing different types of music now and wanting to be able to have my 3 core sounds (piano, organ and organ with leslie) setup and ready to go all throughout a gig, to avoid jumping through menus as much as possible and also because there are plenty of reggae tunes where I will need all three in the one song. I've never used the one man band features of the WK-7600 and probably won't have a need to, so I think I will start looking into a different model and see what they are capable of, I'll start as you suggest with some of the other forums. Definitely want to reduce equipment for lugging it around, especially when you have to play with bands with 7/8 members and squeeze everyone onto a tiny stage Thanks for all the help, much appreciated.

Sorry for the delayed response, this is really great advice. I'm starting to like the appeal of using an Ipad/I phone less and less for the setup. I've also got a second midi controller keyboard and I would like to incorporate this into the setup to so that I could have 3 sounds ready to go when playing gigs (i know i'm probably looking for the impossible here) 1. small midi controller keyboard playing either piano sound or organ with no leslie 2. left hand split of the casio with piano or organ with no leslie 3. right hand split organ sounds with leslie I'm thinking that it's probably not possible to connect two midi controller keyboards to the Ipad, not sure a dual lighting cable exists but even if a cable existed to plug two USB B devices into the Ipad, the app may be able to talk to both devices, depending on the channel capabilities you mentioned earlier. I'm not sure how reliable the whole setup would be. I'm thinking maybe if I can find a physical midi module which will take the two controllers might be the way to go. I guess in that case I would have to search for one which allows you to also manipulate the midi channels in the way I would need it, but looking for a physical midi module online is proving difficult, not sure there are many manufacturing them? Another alternative might be to sell the WK-7600 and buy a keyboard that allows the split function to work the way I want it, do Casio do a more advanced model with this function available?

Can Casio provide a software update with a menu to switch the default lower rotary setting to the upper split?

I have the same problem which is already described by another user in the article below. I want to split the keyboard to play either A) manual drawbar with Rotary on for the right split and organ with no rotary on the left split and B: manual drawbar with rotary on the right split and piano on the left split (common requirements for reggae style play). I also raise the octaves of the left split in both setups. As described the Rotary is only available on the left split. To get around this limitation, it has been recommended to try connecting the Casio to a midi brain to acheive the desired result. There are multiple Casio videos on you tube describing how to do this. Before investing in any cables or apps, I would like to first check if this solution will actually work. Do the split and octave functions work in conjunction with a midi brain? Would I be able to still split the keyboard to the desired sounds and octave shifts described in the two use cases? Also, can the Casio WK-7600 be used to connect to a midi brain in an Iphone rather than an Ipad?
