I am trying to use the Stage 2 to control a Roland Integra-7 and would like to be able to trigger multiple parts live. I would like to assign each Part on the Integra to separate MIDI channel so that I can use a separate MIDI mixer and controller (Novation Launch Control XL) to modify levels and parameters on the fly. My plan was to transmit using Omni mode on the Stage 2 so that all Channels (1-16) would be transmitted simultaneously. By zoning the keyboard range on the Integra-7 itself, I can create splits and crossovers.

However, I am at a loss of how to change the MIDI mode from Poly to OMNI. Normally, one would toggle MIDI CC 126 to set the mode to Omni, but I can only access MIDI CC 1-120 on the Stage 2.

Instead, I am left with assigning all Parts on the Integra-7 to a single channel (2 channels if I use both slots) which still allows me to set the key range of each part. However, I am unable to control other MIDI parameters independently for each part on the Integra.

Any advice on how to tackle this?

MIDI Omni doesn't work like that, it is for receival only and mot implemented on NS2; from the NS2 you can only transmit on 3 channels: Extern A and B (assignable to zones) + Global.

Any other MIDI setting you need to manage the parts must be made on the Integra, e.g. You can set Extern A on NS2 to Ch 15 and then have a number of Integra parts responding to that same channel (to obtain a layer).

Thanks for the clarification regarding OMNI.

I have been trying to output everything on a single MIDI channel and using the parts to split/layer the keyboard using Integra's editor. The main problem that I am having is with controlling individual part volumes. While I can set them up in the editor, as soon as I change one part real time, it affects them all in the same way. I suspect that the iPad interface is controlling volumes using CC. While I can mute individual parts, I can't change the individual volumes. The best that I can do is to have control over 2 (3 with global) MIDI channels.
