My 5d is grinding its way along the highway toward me, and I expect to get it early next week.
The YouTube demo I have been listening to features some lovely piano sounds, so much better than anything I ever heard out of my old Electro 2.
I have a Yamaha P255 which I will hang on to, as I love the key feel and having all 88 keys, among other features.
My perusal of the manual and of this forum leads me to ask - It is clear I can drive the Electro 5d's upper manual with an external keyboard, but how about the unsplit mode? I would like to play those nice piano sounds with my Yamaha keyboard. Is it simply a matter of attaching the Midi Out from the Yam to the Midi In of the Nord, making sure the Midi menus are set correctly?
Please direct me to the information if it has already been provided or if I am just missing it in the manual, and thanks.

Re: Playing an unsplit 5d with an external keyboard
Okay - here is a thought. If I make a desired piano sound the upper split, patch in the Yamaha, I will have all 88 keys of the Yam available, yes? Maybe that is my question.

yes, connect midi out on yamaha to midi in on Nord and ensure that midi channels are set correctly on both

Indeed. It's "scenario 3" in the MIDI section of the manual, p. 15 in the English version, and works perfectly every day here
